UNKNOWN MAN IS
 SHOT IN SHOULDER
THEY SHOT ME-. HE SAYS. POINTING TO THE WOODS,
 AND THEN RIDES AWAY.
Deputies and Officers Later Try to Locate the Wounded Man But
 Can Find No Trace Of Him.

Yesterday just before noon an un. known man with heavy handke.. chief tied over a wounded head. and claiming to have shot ii the shoul- der, pulled rein at rne door of the home of Press Bairey on Summer street tn South Hot Springs.
 Mrs. Bailey heard the man call, and went to the door
 They shot me, over there, he said, indicating back sonlh Of that section. in the woods Mrs Bailey stepped in the door to see about what could be done. and the man rode away
 His head was bleeding from some sort of wound, and he evidently was telling the truth about the shot in the shoulder.
 The incident was reported to the officers, and Deputy Sheriff Whea.- ley. accompanied by Officers AlDerrt Howard and Joan Young, made an in yestigation. They found that the man had gone after leaving the Bai- ley nome to the wood yard in the rear Of the Uohn Reece home. waere he was last seen.
 From this last placc ne seemed tn have mysteriously disappeared, and no further trace of him could be found, though the officers made q house to house canvass of the situ- ation.
 It Is assumed that the man engag. ed in some sort of difficulty in the Tar outskirts of the city and received the wounds, and was suffering too much to use judgment in the mat. ter of seeking aid.

were their last words to me. They
expressed themselves as fully pre-
