Some time ago, when Miss Gilmans name began to be mentioned in connection with the d- vorce suit brought by the former Mrs. Corey against her husband, the actress was interviewed In Paris, and she said:
 'I protest against the custom of making theater girls scapegoats for the domestic troubles of millionaires. If wives have difficulties with their husbands, artists are rarely the cause.

A remarkable case of tenaclty
OF life is reported from Magdalena,
says the Socorro Chieftain. Two
weeks ago, a Mexican herder named
Leopoldo Sanchez was shot through
the head, the rife ball entering
above the left eye and coming out
back of the top of the right ear.
The wounded man wandered about
over the hills and plains two
days before he was found and then
survived week before death en-
sued. The remains were buried at
MagdaIena, Wednesday. Decea-
sed was haIf-demented when found
and could give no Ineligible ac-
count of what bad happened him.
A fellow herder, named Dionlclo
Sanchez, has been charged with
the commission of the crime, but
he denies all knowledge of it.
