Chavez's wife was very jealous OF a certain
Indian maiden, aud that yesterday. she
found her husband in the Indian maidens
house. A tight took place between the
women, during which the dusky maiden
got hold OF SeTorita Chavez's back hair.
The hair gave way ard came off. and the
Indian beauty became so frightened at the
idea that she had "scalped Mrs. Chavez "
that she tainted completely away. Mrs.
Chavez took advantage OF this and admin
istered most frightful beating on the girl.
