 The Associated Press correspondent from Bisbee deserves the anathemas of all the intelligent and aw-abid;ng cit izens of our city The reports he sent to the press about the Black Jack gang were without foundation, and were tihe creation of diseased mind. The officers who came here to investi- gate the reported capture are justly indignant at the would-be sensational writer, not only because of the re- factions cast upon the officers, but because of the cloud that he cast upon our peaceful and law-abiding com munity. The men captured were only strangers who were enjoying Thanks giving day in Mexico in their own way, and did not have 5000 con- cealed on their persons, as the un- truthful writer reported. They were found not to be Black Jack and his pals, and were released. The writer of the many sensational reports from Bisbee had better leave the gathering of news to some man of ability and truthfulness and hire out as a fisher man. where his yarns will be appreci- ated at their worth-Bisbee Tyre.
