The Lady Now Mourns the Loss of a Husband and Consider

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Quite a sensation has been created in upper Spanish society circles over the marriage of handsome young widow and her abandonment all within week. The recalcitrant husband is an Ameri- can. He was tall, young and handsome and twas said to be case of love at first sight. The courtsh1p was almost of as short duration as that of married bliss. He came, he saw, he conquered and then abandoned his prize. The lady in question was Mrs. Paula Nor enc, and the gallant railroad man by the name of Hunt. Upon making rep resentations to her that with certain tain amount of money he could pur- chase an interest in a business here and they would all be happy, the good lady thereupon morgaged her home and gave him the money. He took it and skipped in the dark of the moon.
 Yesterday Mrs. Hunt swore out con- plant before Justice Meyer charging Hunts former room mate with conspir- acy in attempting to defraud her in the matter of mortgaging the house. The case was on trial as the "Citizen' goes to press
