JEALOUS RIVAL WRECKS HER
LIFE
Worldly Wise Senorlta Hated Neigh
Dor for Her Innocence and
Stole Her Sweetheart
in Revenge

Miss Vibiana MARITIME. a dashing
Mexican belle, is today occupying a
cell in the matron's department of the
city Jail, while A. Sambrano, her lover,
is in the receiving hospital with deep
knife wound in his right breast.
According to Detectives Rico and
Talamantes, the knife wound is the
result of lovers quarrel In which
Miss MARITIME and Sambrano played the
leading parts with a mysterious SEN
orita in the role of the jealous neigh
Dor.
Side by side Miss MARITIME and Sam
brano have lived in their little cot
tages on Avenue Thirty-three. AS
children they ran from house to house
to play in each others yards. Childish
games were at first INDUCED in, but as
they grew older their minds turned to
the more serious business of love-
making, and soon thoughts of marriage
entered their minds.
Arrange for Wedding
All arrangements for their wedding
were made. Joyous friends from all
sections of Southern California sent
them letters and tokens wishing them
long and happy lives.
All this was six months ago, and the
marriage was planned for last NoVem-
ber. Even the day was chosen, but
when it came there was no marriage.
Instead weeping and forsaken bride
remained at home, for she had found
her lover was unfaithful and his af-
fections had waned. Instead of think
ing only of his sweet faced bride-to-
be, Sambrano is said to have allowed
his mind to roam in other quarters and
his thoughts to dwell on a mysterious
Mexican woman, slightly older than
Vibiana wiser in worldly matters and
with even more beauty than the mans
first sweetheart.
Sambrano is said to have made pro-
posals to this woman, and he was
eagerly accepted. Together they went
and all thoughts of the little girl who
was awaiting him flew from Sam
brano's mind.
When the great awakening came for
little Vibiana she swore terrible oath
of vengeance. 1t is not good for a
lover to betray his Mexican sweet
hearts affections
confesses Her Perfidy
Six months have passed and during
all that time Sambrano did not visit
his one-time promised wife. Instead
his moments were passed by the side
of his new found sweetheart. Then,
one day last week, the second woman
left Back to the City of Mexico, she
said in a short note she sent Vibiana.
But this was not all the note said. In
stead in 1t were written words which
caused the Mexican girls heart to beat
with an even greater anger and her
eyes to burn with an even fiercer light.
81 CO." said the woman in the note,
"but 1 know 1 have made you un-
happy. 1 led your lover on. l enVied
you your sweet face and baby eyes
and determined l should be reVenged
on you for having them. l took your
lover from you. You may now have
him back, as / cast him off,"
That was all, but thoughts of the
acts of the woman nearly drove the
little Mexican girl insane, Yesterday
she received the note, and last night
Sambrano appeared at the house TO
again WOO the little senorita.
Passlonately he told of his love,
which, he said. had never wanod.
While he was speaking thoughts of the
wrongs which had been done her
crowded through the Mexican girls
mind thick and fast. At last she could
contain herself no longer.

screamed. go. l do not wish to see
