Jose Pedro, a Mexican, was to have married Isabella Mariano in Los Ojos, N.M., but after ruining the girl, cast her aside and married Angelica Montzan. The other day, while the inhabitants of the Pedro hacienda were taking their afternoon siesta, Isabella entered without warning and, cutting out the tongues of both the sleeping victims, fled, only to be captured by the city marshal after a hard fight and a desperate struggle, in which the maddened woman inflicted cuts, one of them serious, on the arresting officer. Both Pedro and his wife are alive. Neither will be able to articulate another word.
