REFUSED, SAY.
JAIL INMATES.


Complaint has been filed with
the Presidente Municipal of No
gales, Sonora, by prisoners in
the carcel across the line that
they are being furnished with
nothing but starvation rations
and are compelled to sleep on the
cold ground of the "bull pen," ac-
cording to information given out
in the neighboring city yester-
day morning.
The prisoners allege they are
fed nothing but beans of poor
quality and in quantity insuffi-
clent for proper nourishment.
They also assert, it is said, that
they have no bedding or bed
clothing whatever to protect
Cnem from the rlgOrS of prevail
ing cold nights. The result is
extreme suffering and some i'll
ness among the shut-ins, it is
said
Authorities in Nogales, Sono-
IA, assert that the charges are
false and that the prisoners are
being fed as we'll as usual and
are made as comfortable as pos
sible. However, an investigation
is being made.
1t is stated ON good authority
that since the incarceration OF
Alexandra Villasenor, deposed
Presidente Municipal of Noagles,
Sonora, he has caused to be
brought to the carcel from his
ranch below the city ample food
to furnish the prisoners with at
least one square meal a day. He
gave them a sumptuous banquet
