Painting at regular intervals Is
the cheapest way to keep buildings

Painting should not be put off
too long. If wood has begun to rot

lBy Dispatch A. P. Wire J

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, April l3.-
The murdered body of Mrs. Ciprino
Trujillo De Flores, aged 55 or go,
wife of a ranchman, was found half
burned in her bed at San Antonio,
35 miles east of Albuquerque, Tues
day morning. A coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict that her thoat had
been cut before the bed had been
set on fire. Her husband, Telesfor
Flores, aged IS, is missing.
Officers found a blood stained razor
on a table near the bed. Fire had
consumed the womans throat, so it
was impossible to determine positively
taht it had been cut, but the un-
burned portion of the mattress and
bed clothing under her head was
soaked with blood.
The grown sons of the murdered
woman found the body when they
entered the house for breakfast.
They slept in a house adjoining the
one in which their father and mother
slept
The husband is said to have acted
queerly for some time.
