shot at him from ambush, hittig him twice on the left side of the head and once in the left arm. Last May he was fired on during the night at Pablo and two bullets lodged in a building two feet from where Mr. Curtis was standing. A posse search­ed for the assailant of Wednesday but he has not been found.

The deputies with Mr. Curtis locat­ed a liquor-making outfit nçar whçfc Mr. Curtis was shot and at the spot
