I One day this week a comedy and be- witching senora entered the jail of flee and spotting Jailer John Young seated at the desk began paying her ! respects to him in no uncertain lan- guage. With tirade of abusive in- svectives running the gamut of the Mex i ican tongue she proceeded to tell him what she thought of him. Jailer | Young, not being very we'll acquainted with the Spanish language took it all l gracefully with a complacent smile on his genial countenance thinking she
 was stuck on his manly form and was
 making ardent love to him in true Gas tilian style. When the air had be- come fairly sulphurous some one in the office informed the jailer just what she had been saying about him and as a result the woman is now languish- ing in cell in the woman's ward of the county jail. John says he will never believe another woman as long
 as he lives and that hereafter they
 will have to pay their respects to him in plain United States language.
