Treatment From Nfcaraquans.

San Francisco. Jan. 29-With his
flesh cut and bruised from the beat
ings he had received at the hands of
his Nicaraguan jailers, George Will

rich gold mine near San Bernardino

fore the Nicaraguans were aware of
the value of the property.
Williams, when he left the City of
Panama declared that within a week
he would be on his way to Guatemala
City to lay his case before United
States Minister Hunter or his repre-
sentative He said he would push
the matter and demand heavy indem-
