ASSASSINATION OF
MANUEL TACOMA
Mexican Cufs fhe Throat of His
Wife's Paramour.
DETAILS OF THE CRIME.

Last night about $50 Manuel
Tagonia, Mexican, staggered in
to Braden's saloon, the blood
squirting from cash extending
from his left ear 10 the center of
his throat. The wounded man ex-
planned that lsa Franco, also n
Mexican. had cut him. but he was
too weak 10 give the details. Med
ical assistance was summoned al
once, but in fifteen minutes the
man was dead
II appears TINT there were no
witnesses to the tragedy, but the
crime was committed Just back of
the Pueblo saloon. Here it was
that Franco found his wife in com
pany with fagonia. Franco. it is
claimed by his brother. had been
drinking more or less, and the ia, {
that he had long known that Ia
gonia was on too intimate terms
with Mrs. Franco, who. atthe best,
bears very unsavory reputation
among her people these made his
Mexican blood boil, and rushing
upon the despoiler of his home
and happiness, he struck the fatal
blow.
1t was reported last night that
Franco used butcher knife 10 do
the cutting, but a little later a
razor, smeared with blood, was
found near the spot where the
tragedy occurred
Officer Mooney was notified and
arrested both Franco and his wife,
and to insure their safe keeping
took them to the Jail in Canon City.
Coroner Baker took charge of
the body of the dead man, and an
inquest is being held this after
noon.
Isa Franco is brother of Mic

ways born the reputation of being
