Mrs. Sarabia, who is intensely de-

been in Tucson since August, working
to secure their freedom, and it was
largely owing to her efforts that Mr.
Sarabia was allowed to go out under
bonds.
Met Sarabia in Jail
The acquaintance that has ended in
this romantic marriage began in the
Los Angeles county jail last spring.
Mr.. Sarabia was prisoner and Miss
whose sympathies had
been aroused by what She had. heard
of the alleged persecution of the Mex
ican liberal and comrades, was taken
there by friend to hear from his own
lips the story of his wrongs. That |
meeting made deep impression on the
young woman and proved the be-
ginning of a great change in her life. |
She had come here a winter tourist, |
with her mother. Mrs. Mark /
Shultis, a resident of Boston's most |
exclusive district Brookline, making
4 leisurely tour of Southern California.
Miss Trowbridge had no intention of
'emaining in Southern California until
she heard of the celebrated Mex
can case. That fired all the slumber-
ng revolutionary spirit that had been
hidden underneath the conventional,
ng young woman, but which she right
,ully inherited from ancestors that
ought bravely for liberty in '76. Con-
yinced that here was a. wrong to be
lighted, she announced to her mother
Ter intention to stay here and help
light it. All the conservatism of her
lass caused Mrs Shultis to protest
lgainst her daughters decision. She
vas shocked and Mortified, but Miss
elizabeth was firm. The result was
Mrs. Shultis went back to Boston
lone and her independent daughter
tayed to fight for the Mexicans.
Has independent Fortune
AS she was of age and had an in
ONE of her own, the young woman
vas free to go on with her chosen
york. Before going to Arizona she
made her home with friends, Mr. and
drs. P. D. Noel, 4301 Glen Albynl
rive, who had no intimation Of the
omance that had grown out of Miss
interest in the Mexican
movement until the tele- ]
ram announcing the marriage was ,
eceived yesterday.
Mrs. Sarabia has marked literary I
alent and she has written a great {
lany articles about the Mexican case I
hat have been published in pamphlets
nd labor papers. In Tucson she, with !
group of sympathizers in the move :
lent, has established a monthly maya
inc, the Border, which is to be de-
oted to the interests of the border !
tates on both sides of the line. 1t :
romises to give the public a truthful l
ccount of political and industrial af 8
iirs in the southern republic.
While she was in Los Angeles Miss !
frequently expressed her y
1miration of the Mexican character,
lying she saw no reason why Amer 4
ans should think themselves a su-
srior race. To those who knew of
le regard in which she held these
sople her choice of husband does
1t appear strange.
