Mrs. Craig was badly injured, the bullet entering her jaw and com ing out behind the left eye, fractur ing the Jaw and blinding the sight of the one eye by destroying the optic | nerve. Her condition is pronounced very critical Monday. YANKS TIGHTEN | MURIEL DEFENSE | BY FRANK J. TAYLOR (United F 3.
