GERS were never accounted for and
suits charging embezzlement will be
filed. One big item where money
was wasted was in the purchase of

FATE JOHN {. GEORGE
 CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Some apprehension is beginning tc be felt in Douglas over the possible fate of John C.. George. No word ha: been received from Mr. George since last Sunday At that time he was at Empalme. On that day an attack was made on Empalme in considerable force by the federals Repeated wires Co Mir GsCrge from Douglas have failed to elicit any reply. The hoPe is indulged that Mir. George may have gone back to the Yaqhi delta country though that Is contrary to the pro gram mapped out by him when nc left Douglas in company with Vice President Long of the Southern Pa cific line of Mexico some two weeks ago. The treatment of the Americans especially the engineer. Morrison, at Guaymas, makes almost any conjec' ture tenable in these troublesome times in Mexico. NIT. George was ex- pected to arrive in E1uglas Tues day.
