MONKEY FLESH HIS ONLY MEAT.

Too proud to beg, and finding himself on the verge of starvation because of the impoverishment of his noble family in Europe, Count Franz Lazarinni, a remittance man well known in Central America, went to a jungTe near Managua, Nicaragua, and kept himself alive for five months by eating monkey flesh and roots and berries, according to reports to marine corps headquarters there. A party of United States marines while on a big game hunting expedition discovered the titled foreigner and took him back to the Nicaraguan capital. The count, half starved and nearly mdd I e cause of the privation he had suffered, fought h>.s rescuers and begged them to let him remain in ths jungle, the reports say. The marines overpowers him, however and are now attempting to nurse him back to health and reason at their commodious bar racks in the American legation.
