SHE RETURNED.
End of the Annie Rothmund HnbeaA
Corpus Cnse.

End of the Annie Rothmund Hnbcas
Corpus Case.
Judge Bradley, at o'clock this afternoon,
took up the case Of J. Weed Corey against
Sister Mary Martin of the House Of the
Good Shepherd, praying for a writ Of ha-
beas corpus, in order to secure the release
of Annie Rothmund. a young girl Of
twenty.
Mr.. James D. Brady, representing the in
stitution, stated that the young woman was
present in court, and explained that she
had, on the I'D of last May. been COM
mitted to the institution by the major Of
police at the request of the young woman's
{ mother Mrs. Magdalena Rothmund. The
young woman. said Mr.; Brady, was desir-
GUS of remaining. and he denied that any
one entitled to see her had been denied
that right.
Mr.. Woodbury. Wheeler, representing Mr..
Corey, asked to see the young woman
alone, but Judge Bradley stated that he
ould consult the girl and her mother
privately. That he did, and when the judge
re-entered the court room he stated that
the young woman, while desiring her liber-
ty some time ago, was now willing to graft
fly her mothers wishes by remaining. in the
institution until she. was twenty-one years
of age.
The writ of habeas corpus would, there
fore, be dismissed. Maj. Moore's commit
ment, said Judge Bradley, was not legal
one, and the girl had, therefore, not been
lawfully committed to the institution. So
the court could not compel her to return
there, leaving that alone to the young
woman herself.
That ended the matter and the girl re-
turned, with her mother, to the institution.

DIsincorporation and Property Titles.

uluS or opposition JO munlclpdl taxa
 tion many citizens have been led {
 advocate dlsincorporation of the tow
 of Nogales, without realizing it's eu
 tire results or how far reaching woul
 be it's effect.
 For the sake of calling attention t
 some of the bearings of this importan
 proposition, allow me to recall som
 facts which seem to have slipped thu
 minds of many.
 When the land court entered upoI
 the work of Investigating titles to tn,
 various alleged Mexican and Spanisl
 grants, to determine the validity O
 which that court was granted by con
 gress the power of original jurisdic
 tion, it became necessary that al owners of property in Nogales should
 be represented in court, as against the claimants to the same property under the alleged Nogales grant. To that end the first and original Protective As. sociation of Nogales" was instituted. A committee was appointed consisting of Louis Proto, Captain J. J. Noon, James Darling and c. A. Avery, with power to take all necessary steps for contesting the validity of the grant, to a final decision. That committee engaged competent legal talent, who made the issue in court and won the case. Under the contract the case is to be carried to a successful issue in the supreme court of the United States. A note for 5000 has been given to secure payment for the legal service thus contracted. In the sue cesSful issue of the case in the supreme court, in October, which now seems foregone conclusion, that note must be paid by the property holders bene- fitted, or by the gentlemen of the com nittee who signed it.
 Right there is where lies concealed .he cat in the disincorporatson meal tub. If the town is disincorporated Inc men who signed that note for the benefit of all, will have it to pay; for lhey will have no means to draw from holders their pro rata of the cost incurred in defending their homes md possessions against the grant claimants. In the event of disincorp- property holders can take ti- ,le from the probate judge, who would tive the deeds upon payment of the egular minimum price, without in- turing or caring whether they owe for saving the property from and without power to ollect anything should he care or in- Iuire.
 On the other hand, should the town be still alive, then, un- CT the law, the town would take title rom the government, paying mini lum price for the lots, and giving eeds. Above that minimum price he town could charge and collect lm which would create a fund to pay his debt incurred in defence of our omes, each sharing the burden in roportion to his benefit, none evad- lg or escaping payment. This was ne main object for which the town of ogales was incorporated, and the ob- gation is as sacred as any within the lnge of human transactions.
 Then beyond the point above defined e the unappropriated lands, outside le townsite as platted, but within le legal limits of the area of a gov nment townsite, such as would be ltented to the town by the United ,ates. There is great deal of such cant land to which the council would
