TELEGRAPH SERVICE TERRIBLE Nearly all of the attorneys and litigants at- tending court have been complaining of the unreliability of the telegraph service at this station. This is nothing. The service here has been simply dreadful for several years. Judge Bail received a telegram on the 14th which was dated at San Marcial on the 9th. It is nothing common for telegrams to be one and two days en route from Las Cruces and El Paso. A num- ber of different parties have threatened to bring suit against the company during the past few months.
