Reporter: Terrence Mullen, who
was one'of the victims in the San Mar
cial land cases, and the only one CON
yicted-and his conviction was the re-
suit of the lavish expenditure Of funds
and the most vindictive proscution-is
again free man. He arrived from
Santa Fe, Tuesday morning. He has
asserted his innocence, and his friends
beliovein him and give him the right
hand Of fellowship, and are glad to
welcome him. He viii undoubtedly
resume Development work upon some

Roswell Record; Some parties in
Missouri received tho contract to car
ry the mails between Roswell and Ed
dy for the next year. Mendenhal,
Barnett s. Co. win continue to run a
stage line for the accommodation Of
passengers and express. One of the
reasons why overland mail service in
the west has been nomore satisfactory
is that some ignorant upstart in the
east generally puts in a bid below the
actual cost Of transportation, and
then sub-lets to some irresponsible
party who is unable to give efficient
service.
According to the Santa Fe Sun the
night of Ada Humes' release from the
penitentiary was signalized by her in a
manner which makes it doubtful if
her release ought to have been grant
ed. After having gotten drunk the
man who claimed to be her husband,
she and one Alcario Dominquez, a re-
leased convict, madea night of it at
the dance halls and brothels of Santa
Fe. The career of this woman and
the connection of some of the terrific
rial officials Herewith, is one of the
most remarkable and shameful pages
in all the history Of New Mexico. 1t
is doubtful il its equal can be found in
the civilized world.
The party sent out by the Southern
Pacific to find the source of Salton sea
returned and reported that the water
lcaves the Colorado river eight miles
from Ell Rio and flows through several
channels to Arroyo Mucho where
they join, making stream 100 yards
vide and hayilis a velocity Of fonr
miles per hour. The water is too deep
to be measured At Alamo Mucho, 50
miles from the river, the stream en-
ters the desert for Salton. This set
ties conclusiyely the source of the
water, but does not account for the
sea serpant.
Loco Jim, the Apache scout who de-
serted his command near Clifton sew
eral weeks ago, and who subsequently
fred onother scouts who were try
ing to effect his capture, was brought
hcsa nom San Carlos, Tuesday by
Deputy Marshal Frank Porter, and ex-
amined before United States Commits
sioner John Blake on a charge of as
sault with intent to commit murder
After hearing the testimony, which
was to the effect that Loco Jim was
behind some brush and rocks and fir
cd on the scouts that were following
his trail, as they ascendcd the north
side Of Mount Trumbull, the Commits
sioner held the prisoner to answer in
the U. S. court. An Indian scout
named Slick was the principal wit
ness. Slick was one Of the men that
Loco jim had fired upon, and was very
willing to tell all about the case and
to add that Loco Jim had a bad re-
cord. A squaw was put on the stand
who claimed &c be the wife Of the de-
fendant, whose attorney, 0. p Adams,
objected to her testimony on account
of the marriage relation. United
States overcome this objection by
showing that Loco had two wives pre-
yious to this one. Bob Mcintosh act
