LIEUT.. MARTINS INJURY.
Marine Corps Officer, Hit on Foot
With Bullet, Not Seriously Hurt.

Relatives of Second Lieut.. George W.
Martin OF the United States Marine Corps
residing in this city have received word
that he was slightly, injured during the
engagement between the American forces
and the rebels at Barranca Hill. Nicara-
qua, Friday. Lieut.. Martin was struck on
the foot by a bullet His injury is re-
ported not to have been serious.
Lieut.. Martins wife, formerly Miss
Stephaine Trescott who resides at the
residence Of her grandmother. Mrs
Charles Worthington. 1916 n street north
west, was greatly shocked upon receiving
word that her husband had been injured
This was largely due to the indefinite
wording of the dispatch, which merely
stated that Lieut.. Martin was among
those who had been injured.
Since then cahlegram has been re-
ceived by Mrs Martin from her husband
stating that he had been wounded on the
foot. but that his injury was not serious
He did not state whether he was able to
get about, or whether he was confined to
a hospital!
For several days Mrs. Martin has been
confined to her room suffering from
shock. and only members of her family
have been permitted to visit her. Today
her grandmother. Mrs. Northington. said
her condition was greatly improved.
