“Banal and a spilt'second aftar the
.explosion, shots spattered on tha
glass In the back of tbe top of my
coupe Inst like hall stones." said Mich
eel Heedln, Goldsboro boy In describ
ing en adventure he had Wednesday
night. Heedln, 'with two young lady
companions, wah driving alanif tha
Mount Olive highway, going to Crea*
c#ttt Lake when partita or un
known fired at the car twlcfl with A
shot gun. "It was shout 'll o'clock,
and we were jjiat riding ont to Crea
cent fa»ke," said young Heedln "We
were just on the other aide of tha

rang nut," he atated. "! Immediately
stopped the car and hollered hack and
told whoever tt was khootlng to do It
again." And he did, for right aftar
