Show 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 Lazar-lnnl, Lazar-lnnl, a remittance man well known in Central America, went to a jungle near Managua, Nicaragua, Nicara-gua, and kept himself alive for five months by eating eat-ing 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 Nlcaraguan capital. The count, half starved and nearly mad because be-cause of the privation he had suffered, fought his rescuers and begged them to let him. remain in the jungle, the reports say. The marines overpowered him, however, and are now attempting to nurse him back to health and reason at their commodious barracks bar-racks in the American legation. |
