A YOUNG WIFE.
She Deserts Her Old Hubby for a
Nice Young Man.

Twelve years ago Miguel Salinas
then 53 years of age, married a
pretty Mexican senOrita, who had
just entered her teens, and wore
short dresses. They lived together
about year, when the girl met a
handsome young Mexican cabal-
lero. She became deeply infatuat-
ed with him at first sight and de-
cided to elOpe with him.
Her lawful husband was very
wealthy, but money could not buy
her love.
After being gone from the old
man several months she felt that
she was not leading the luxurious
life as of yore, and one fine day
slipped away from her young lover
and went back to the old man and
succeeded in inducing him to re-
sumo his old love for her, and take
her back to him.
AT first, however, she was met
with harsh rebuke and the old
wealthy gentleman would not
listen to her sOrrowful pleadings.
He could not overcome wOman's
wit and finally was compelled to
yield to her tale of sorrow. He
agreed to take her again and do
all he could for her and she
promised to be true to him and
stick to him for the rest of his
days.
But lately the young girl. who
is now twenty-five years of age,
met and made the acquaintance of
a man who appeared in her eyes
to be real adOniS. a short court
ship followed, and on last Wednes-
day the girl gave her old hubby,
who is now 60 years of age, the
"razoO." She disappeared that day
and he has not seen her since, nor
has he any idea when he will see
her again.
The man who obtained her love
is a half-breed Indian and Next
can, and of very stupid DISPOSE
ton. They are said to have de-
parted for Mexico.
She has one child from her hus-
band, which is in charge of the
father.
He lives a short distance below
Beanville and entertains fears of
his life. He is afraid the young
man and his wife might come
around some night and kill him.
The young man whom the lady
has eloped with was arrested and
locked up in the city Jail about
two weeks ago for stealing two
pairs of SQUIRRELS.
