Copies shall be furnished free of charge to any citizen in the State upon request.

In 1910 Burgherton was next heard from an as physician to the revolutionary forces of the republic. Then he was made surgeon general of the rebel forces. In the eight years his family was expecting the prodigal, Burgherton had attended Nicaraguan medical schools. During fighting the revolutionary forces surrounded him and gave him the light for assassination. Suddenly a girl appeared, running across this "No man's Land." A bullet struck her. Burgherton saw her. And like a movie hero, he rescued her through a shower of bullets. His surgery saved the woman's life. Romance blossomed. The revolution was successful. The girl's father, Diego Manuel Chamorro, has been elected president of Nicaragua. He married a year after he wed her, married to New Orleans as con-
