MEADE vs. YORK ET AL.

4 case which was on the docket Of the District Court. to be tried at this term, was not tried. The cause was entitled w K. Meade vs. Thos. York Chairman of the Board of Supervls ors, J. J. Bowen, and Wm. Pritehett all their bondsmen, and the Consoli- dated Printing < Pub. Co.,, a printing company and owners of the Bisbee Daily Review and Douglas Internation- al-American.
 The case was not tried for the req son that the plaintiff Meade would not stand to the rack when the time came for laying bare the venom and petty malice which was alone the cause for the silly suit. Last fall, as foreman of the grand jury, he posed as the especial keeper of the inter ests of the people and taxpayers, and announced the brazen falsehood that there had been a connivance between the Review and the Board of Super visors for the purpose Of raiding the county treasury uniawfully. 1t would seem that if there had been any money unlawfully used by the board this man Meade would be will ing to trust the courts and people of COchise county e right the wrong and cause the return of the money 10 ths county treasury; ii there was any body hurt by the transaction it was the taxpayers. and net Meade. Rath- CT than to have his. yeeonous nature exposed by trial of this case iE Tombstone before an honest and an impartial judge he filed ar affidavit in which he made the monstrous false statement that Judge Doan was interested in the result of this law suit. and that he would be unable to secure a fair and impartial trial in this county.
 The suit is the outgrowth of the purchase by the Board of Supervisors of this county of four thousand cop ies of the Worlds Fair Edition of the Bisbee Daily Review which was issued in magazine form in 1904 set ting forth the resources of our coun- ty, which copies were turned over to the Worlds Fair Commissioners at St. Louis last year and by them distribut- ed free of charge to the eastern in- vestor or intending settler in our midst in order that he might become more familiar with our resources and attractive opportunities. A large number of the peorle of Cochise ccun- ty have seen a copy of this edition. It was issued in an attractive manner, and it's pages were filled with reliable data and signed descriptive articles setting forth plainly and without ex- aggeration what Arizona and particu- lsrly Cochise county had to offer to the intending immigrant
 The Board of Supervisors of this county recognized the value to the county by the free distribution of such a work, likewise the World Fair Commissioners and the Chamber of Commerce of Tucson, all of which or ganizatlons purchased copies for the same purpose. The publication had the endorsement of Governor Brodie and his official family. and since it's distribution this office has been in re- ceipt of hundreds of letters from all parts of the United States and Cana da requesting additional copies, which in each instance the management of the Review at Bisbee has supplied So much for brief statement of the objects the Board of Supervisors had in view at the time of the purchase.
 Since then the Board of Supervisors and the Risbee Daily Review have been repeatedly cOmpiimented for
