The existing treaty between Nicaragua and the United States gives rights to the United Land Worth Half Million Involved in Appeal from Superior Court Whether the City of Huntington Beach had the right to pass ordinances restricting still further the territory within which drilling operations are permitted will be finally decided when the case of the Pacific Palisades Ass'n., vs the City and J. Tinsley, City Marshal, comes to trail before the Supreme Court. Notice that the plaintiff had appealed from the decision of Superior Judge Z. B. West was filed today with the County Clerk. Thirteen acres, valued at half a million dollars for oil purposes and $100,000 for residential, are involved. The plaintiff contended that it purchased the property from the Huntington Beach Methodist Assembly, which had entered into a contract with J. T. Hurst to drill the lands. The latter still is ready to begin drilling, says the complaint. When the ordinance came up the previous owners argued against its passage. Judge West sustained a demurrer of the city and Tinsley that a cause of action had not been shown, that the complaint was ambiguous and that the fact that the president of the board of trustees had not signed the ordinance did not make it invalid. The latter could have been compelled by mandate to sign if necessary, said the court.

FROM the chains which manacled him to officers on either side, "Little Phil" Alguin charged with the slaying of Detective Sergeant John D. Fitzgerald in Los Angeles, was led from the freighter Freeport 6 in Freeport, Tex. today. In the gray mists which rode in from the sea, Alguin's dark face made an unforgettable picture as he sneered at his captors and darted fiery glances alive with malice at the crowds about the pier. Stalward Texas officers of the Ranger type—two-gun men who would take no chances—held Alguin's arms and pushed him down the gangplank to the wharf, where he was immediately surrounded by more than a score of sheriffs and deputies and hurried in the center of a curious mob, to the jail. Behind the bars, with the shadow of the gallows over him, Alguin paced restlessly, his lips curled back in a snarl over rows of gleaming white teeth, and continued to curse his captors. Chief Louis D. Oaks is due in Freeport tonight to take charge of the prisoner for whom he has hunted for eight months following the shooting of Fitzgerald on June 18, 1921. Alguin will be hurried here for a speedy trial and the prosecution will demand that the death penalty be inflicted if he is found guilty. Alguin was uncovered when led from the deck of the freighter to the wharf, where practically the entire population of the little Texas town had congregated. Despite the hands of steel which encircled his wrists and the clanking chains, he radiated indubitable menace. What would not Alguin do with a second of liberty! The only perceptible indication of a breakdown was seen in his twitching lips and shaking hands.
