Lake Providence Man Is Wounded In Head

VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Lee Coleman, Lake Providence, La., insurance agent, was in a serious condition today in that city from a bullet wound in the head said by officers to have been self-inflicted this morning while he was standing on the levee fronting the town.

Coleman formerly resided at Union Church in Jefferson county, Mississippi, but had been in Lake Providence since 1930.

No reason for his act was given.
