HUSBAND here
Young Woman May Die,
Physicians Report;
Does Not Know How
Shooting Happened

Mrs Manuel Madrano age 16, of Point
Isabel, is in the Mercy hospital in a
critical condition as the result of two
bullet wounds received at her home in
Point Isabel last night
Francisco Madrano, age %, husband
of the wounded girl is being held by
officers for questioning.
The young woman was shot through
the right breast, and in the side, the
latter bullet being in her body. Ply
sicians last night expressed the opin-
ion that she might succumb to the
wound in her side, although the exact
extent of the danger was not known
this morning, as the location of the
bullet had not been determined.
The first report given officers was
that the woman had attempted suicide,
although the discovery of two bullet
wounds in her body discountenanced
this report Sheriff Sam Robertson and
Chief Deputy J. c. Dilworth went to
Point Isabel as soon as the report was
received here, and arrested Madrano
holding him for questioning.
The woman said that she did not
know how she was shot, stating that
there were several people in the room,
and she was sitting in a chair at the
time of the shooting and did not know
who shot her, or how it happened.
The belief was expressed by persons
at the house at the time that the wo-
man was shot accidentally, as the result
of scuffle over the gun, a 32 calibre
automatic pistol, which has not been
found by officers.
The grandparents of the girl were in
the room at the time of the shooting
it was reported.

PARRAL, Mexico. Feb. 8.-The head

notorious bandit-rebel chieftain. whose
cement sepulchre was torn open by
ghouls Friday night, may be the silent

soldier of fortune, and a Mexican, AL

Halmdahl, reputed to have been a
guide for Pershing's fruitless expedi-
tion after Villa, and Corral are in Jail
here while authorities are trying to
learn what was donew ith Villas head

took. No satisfactory explanation has
been ascribed for the gruesome decapi-
body said the head was to be sent to
Columbus, N. NJ, scene Of the bandit
raid in 1916 that resulted in the Amer
lean punitive expedition.
Many here, however, believe the arch
killers head was filched from the tomb
for surreptitipus sale to some institu-
tion for scientific study.
Little is known yet of the circum-
stances resulting in the arrest of Hahn

have maintained they were in this sec
tion on a hunting trip.
Investigators have taken their lead
from a reported inquiry recently by an
American as to the exact location OF
Villas grave, which was pointed out
by the cemetery caretaker.
Conditions about the grave offered
small aid to solution of the mystery

WOMAN'S BODY, ice

PAULSBORO, N. j., Feb. 8.-Author-
tiles were trying today to establish the
identity of a young woman whose body,
clad in union suit was found encased
in cake of ice in the Delaware river
yesterday.
An examination, Coroner Adams said,
showed that the woman, whose age was
believed to have been between 25 and 35
years, was murdered. The skull was
fractured and forehead gashed. Other
evidence tended to show that she was
dead before the body was thrown into
the water. The coroner suggested per-
haps she was thrown into the water
from a vessel after terrible beating.
1t was necessary to use axes to free
the body from the ice. A religious en-
blem hung about the neck. but no mark
Of Identification was found.
