GONZALES (P—A young Gonzales man who has been walking
around with a bullet in his head without any apparent ill-effects,
was taken to Galveston yesterday for surgery.
Melizan Castillo was shot in the forehead near a Gonzales tavern
Saturday night.
His physician said that the bullet splintered, part of it coming
out of the back of his head and part of it remaining in the center
of his brain. The physician said that Castillo has been eating,
sleeping and talking normally since the shooting and that a fever
he had the first few days has disappeared.
Juan Gebara was charged with assault with intent to murder
in connection with the shooting. He is free under $1,000 bond
dollars in revenue. ♦
The President also dealt
