The mere stealing of another
man's wife apparently Is a trivial
matter in the eyes of the Mexican,
at least, when the police were railed
Into such a case here the other day
those concerned appeared greatly
put-out and Insisted that they be al
owed to go their way. One Mexi
can, it seems, had been and still was
very fond of the wife of a cllow
countryman, she In turn was prone
to regard her admirer in a favorable
manner and the two decided to take
upthelr abode In other parts. But.
when time came Tor the unheralded
departure the husband and father of
two children by the wife, objected to
the children being taken away from
him and the officers were called. The
ordeal was finally straightened out
by allowing the "lovers" to marry
and the father th custody of his
children.
