MAN LIVES 2 WEEKS
WITH SHOT IN BRAIN
One Toe of Left Foot Is Only Nov
able Part of Body,
Physicians Say.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Frees.
KANSAS CITY, no, July 23.-For
more than two weeks, T. w. Nc
Mahon of Tulsa, Okla. has lived with
a bullet lodged somewhere in his
brain. How he lives is a puzzle to
physicians.
Mcmahon lies paralyzed in hos
pital here, the large toe of his left
foot being the only movable part of
his body. Occasionally he mumbles,
but what he tries to say cannot be
made out.
He was found July s, a bullet
wound in his left temple in a room
at a local hotel. How he was shot
is not known, but police believe the
wound was self-infiicted.
Physicians are doubtful If he can
recover. but an attempt may be made
later to remove the bullet if he does
and becomes strong enough to survive
an operation.

Cold Ore Found

By the Associated RreSs-
SUN DANCE. Wyo., July "a
The ghost mining town of Welcome,
now marked only by deserted and
decaying houses, may be brought
to life again.
August Schliehardt has announc-
ed the discovery Of lead Of gold
ore which has assayed more than
$500 ton. 1t has been known for
years that there Is gold in the
Black Hills of Wyoming. but it has
been found in pockets which have
played out, making the installation
of machinery impractical. Schlie-
hart's discovery, however. does not
appear to be a pocket. 1t is only
a few miles from the famous Home
stake mine at Lead, s. Oak, and
not far from the canyon in which
President Coolidge panned for gold
today.

RUMANIA BARS CAROL.
Former Crown Prince May Attend
Rites in Paris Church Tomorrow.

PARIS, July % CP.-Former Crown
Prince Carol of Rumania, whose first
impulse on the death of his father,
King Ferdinand, was to return to
Rumania, not only to pay his last
tributes to the late king but with
the idea Of seeking the throne he re-
nounced, has apparently reconciled
himself to being an exile, at least for
the time being.
Carol remains in seclusion in his
Neuilly home today, and now it is too
late for him to attempt to reach Ru-
mania for the funeral. 1t is expected
that he will attend the two services
to be held in his fathers memory to-
morrow in the little Rumanian church
in Paris. If he does, it will be the
first time he has left his place Of resi-
dence since word of the passing OF
Ferdinand was taken to him q few
hours after the Kings death.
Barred From Country.
The Rumanian government, over
which Carols little son Micheal Is
sovereign. broadcast to the world to-
day that Carol would not come to
Bucharest-the diplomatic way Of say
ing he will not be permitted to enter
the country, whatever his own wishes
may be.
Apparently the former Crown Prince
has assured the French government,
which gave him asylum, that he win
not try to make break for BuchareS&
for, since he secluded himself in sor.
row, the detectives who have watched
his comings and goings at Neuilly for
months have been withdrawn. or else
they are making themselves more IN
conspicuous than is usually the case.
Cause Seems Hopeless.
A few newspaper men gathered on
the sidewalk in front of the villa to-
day. as they have for many days past.
Occasionally an automobile stopped in
front Of the high iron gate, and some
personal friend of Carols went into the
house, but no one stayed
long. Most Of those who called, did
so merely to express their sympathy
either personally or by inscribing their
names in a book placed In q reception
room for that purpose.
Those close to Carol admit that his
cause at the present moment Is q
hopeless one. and that for some time
at least he will have to swallow the
medicine he prescribed for himself in
electing to leave his wife and child for
a freer life outside or regal restEtcr
