stoned m Tombstone yesterday when il was learned that Recorder Bradley had received deed for record, in which James Daily, who murdered ". w. Lowther at Bisbee some months ago, has conveyed all his property in Bisbee to Andy Mehan, the consideration named being Sl00 The deed is dated Pueblo, Colorado, September 2, 1890, bears the seal and acknowledgement of $. Harrison White IS Notary. Or comparison of Daly's signature to the deed with other signatures of his in possession cf Mr. Bradley, there is no doubt us to its being genuine, or that Daly was in Pueblo on that day and signed the deed. J. P. Shaughnessy also received letter from Mehan yes terday, dated September 9th, asking him to attend to the recording of the deed. The letter is as follows:
 You know the man Daly who killed Lowther last spring. l have caught him and had a talk with him. He has deeded all of his property to me. mailed the deed to-day to Bradley to have it recorded. l would like you to go and see what is on record belonging to Daly and send me copy of it. You can get English to hunt il up, as heun- derstands the records we'll If you can not get him get some good man and let me know how much it costs, and l will seud the amount to you. Also go to Bradley and ask Eim low much it will eosi ,o record the deed and pay him for t and send bill to me and l will pay it.
 l want to get the deed on record nj once. have company who will pay me big money for the property they have seen the property and want it. l wanted Daly to go back and give him self up, which he will do as soon as he gets back from Wales He is in Nov ] York to-day"
 Az shown by this letter, Mchan was awere of the fact that Daly had mur- | dered Lowther, and why he did not de liver him ID to an officer k to De Ge- counted for only on two theories ; [ First, that he stumbled on Daily aeci- dentalIy, that he offered Mehan deed to all bis property in Bisbee if he would ie, him go. aNd that Mehan. knowing that Dgly's mining claims are worth many times the amount of the reward offered for his capture, accepted the offer. The second theory is that Daly and Mehan have been in correspoud- ence ever since the murder, that Mehan has interested some parties ill the mines, as indicated in his letter, and that they met at Pueblo to fix up the matter, and that, 'o simplify matters, Daily gave Mehan deed. with the understanding l that in the event of sale be should 1 have q large portion of the money real ized At any rate, it IS not probable that Daly has left the country, as it would be comparatively easy to capture him if he has started for Waies Andy Mehnn is well known in this section, having conducted q saloon in Tomb stone several years ago.
 As soon as sheriff Slaughter became 
 acquainted with inc facts above stated be immediately employed the telegraph lines, but it is net probable that lie aiil learn anything by that means
 In conversation with Mr. Slaughter ! it is learned that he became convinced soon after the murder that Daly had not gone to Mexico, but had fled in an opposite direction, and conducted his search for him ill accordance with this ! belief. lie received information some time ago that Daly had been seen in the vicinity of Morenci, Graham coun- ty, and taking two men with him, pro- ceeded to that locality, and on arriving there employed four Mexicans who were familiar with the country to as- sist him. He found that Daily was there, but despite his utmost efforts he could not catch him. The country whereabouts is probably the toughest ill the southwest and abounds i'll hiding places. In addition to this, Daily had worked upon the sympathies of the in habltants by telling them that he was q persecuted man, that powerful com pany had been trying 10 get his prop erty for nothing, and failing in that had hired men to kill him. The peo- pie believed his wild story, and Sheriff Slaughter found all his efforts to cap ture Daly thwarted by these people, who kept Daly fully informed of the Sherihi's movements. Mr. Slaughter says that he afterward discovered that ut one time he was within thirty feet of Daly. He saw the place where Daly had slept the night before ill tunnel 1; he and his party kept watch at night at a spring where Daly had been in the habit of coming for water, but he had always been warned. Mr. Slaughter also said that he had conversed with men about the murderer who dis claimed all knowledge of his where abouts, but whom, he subsequently dis covered, had seen Daly less than an hour previously, and knew where he was at that time. Finding that his ef-
