Bisbee daily review., 1904-10-20

The Republican County Central committee last night endorsed the turning down that the Bisbee deiega- ton gave William Evans, the crippled miner, & couple of weeks ago, when 1t nominated Lewis Hunt for Justice o1 the Peace oyes Evans. The Central committee endorsement came through the refusal of the committee to adopt the recommendation of Hunt, when he withdrew from the ticket, as the Re view yesterday morning stated he would, that Evans be placed on the ticket in the place that he made va cant.
 Immediately upon the withdrawal and accompanying recommendation made by Hunt. M. E. Cassidy took the floor and bitterly opposed the endorse ment~ of Evans. He said undue influ- ence had been brought to bear to bring about the withGrawal Of Hunt and his recommendation of Evans. The lat ter had entered the campaign as an in- dependent candidate. and he demand ed that he be kept in that position. Friends of Evans said after the meeting last night that the attitude ot
 Cassidy, which controlled the commit tee meeting, was identical with that
 which the machine had indicated fo.
 him and the rest of the Blspee deiega , ton at the delegation meeting, and
 that it meant simply that the crippled
 miner was to be kept in the back

TRICKS OF CHAMPION FAINTER"
0rc CT His Most Successful Was to Faint
IN Presence Of Wedding Party.

y fraud on a lady has just come to
light on the details of which much time
and care must have been expended. and
Yet the profits amounted only to IS.
4 man, who described himself as Il
ships mechanic, called Oh the lady at her
residence at Putney H. displayed a
most intimate knowledge of the family
and stated that two letters had been
found in a berth on German liner ad-
dressed to her two brothers. who were in
Australia. He said that he had been
to the London Office OF these gentlemen,
the addresses of whom he mentioned and
added that he had been told to call on
her, as a telegram had come asking for
the letters 10 be forwarded at once
He said that the third mate of the liner
had the letters. and gave the lady an
address i'll Hamburg to write to. He
added that his expenses had been IS,
which the lady gave. promising to com
municate with him later. Inquiries after
ward proved that there was no such
third mate and no such liner.
1t i perhaps due to universal educa-
ton that frauds of this nature are in
creasing. as opposed to crimes of vio-
llence. There is one man, for example.
known as the "champio'. fainter" He
never asks for money. he merely faints
on your doorstep. He is almost invar-
ably taken in and given Il good meal.
and in many cases money is pressed upon
him.
One of his feats was to faint outside a
house in which Il wedding party was as
Sembled. He was tenderly looked after
was given champagne, and wished the
newly married pair good luck in a neat
speech.
\ man who lived on his wits noticed
that lamps were being used in house,

Under his directions the family distrib-
