Bisbee daily review., 1905-08-01

1 tOrney of that city, arrived in Douglas on the train from Fl Paso. coming di rect from the City of Mexico. These ! gentlemen were seen this morning in the office of the Fl Tigre, in this city ! by a representative of the lnternation- al-American. Judge Half was referred ! to as the press agent of the legal force now making an effort to dislodge B. F. | Graham and his associates from pos session of the Fl Tigre mine. Judge Half was asked if there had been any important developments. in the case which he desired to give to the public and he replied that there was nothing at the present time. None of the gen tlemen desired to talk of the reported issuance of a warrant for Graham in Mexico.
 It is not known just where the Fl Tigre battle in the courts is to be in- itiatc1, but the appearance of the Kansas City directors and attorneys in this vicinity indicated that there will be new developments in the con troversy at an early day.
 Richardson Talks.
 D. A. Richardson returned to Doug las yesterday from a trip to Hermo- sillo and when asked about the tel> gram to the Denver News stating that a warrant had been issued in Mexico for the arrest of B. F. Graham, said: The report, like many others, is sim ply a lie and was circulated for the purpose of injuring B. F. Graham"
 When asked if he had any further statements to make, he said:
 "The Kansas City crowd, composed of Jobs. SOoy, Morse, John Kelly and others. induced Mr Graham and sev- eral other Arizona stockholders to en- ter into voting trust with them, pro missing Graham and the Arizona stock holders that they would be fully pro tected. As soon as the voting trust was formed and at the first meeting of stockholders, Graham and the Ari- zona directors and officers of the com pany were put off of the board and Graham reduced from president to vice president, where he had practic- ally no power whatever Also. as soon as the Kansas City crowd got control of the corporation they moved the of flee and principal place of business of the same from Douglas, Arizona to Kansas City, and formed an executive committee for the management of the
 
 of Kansas City stock brokers and law yers; men without any experience whatever in the management of min ing properties. The executive commit tee and several other officers of the company, arranged to sell the proper ty for one million five hundred thous- and dollars and pay themselves some three hundred thousand dollars com mission on this sale. As soon as they had worked up the sale they begun to scheme to knock the stock of the com pany and buy it up; and in place Of making the payment of the fOrty-eight thousand eight hundred and siXty-fOur dollars, that should have been made at Bisbee on the 9th of this month. MT. Cooy deposited the money in the Min CTS and Merchants bank in such a way that it could not be paid to the original owners and the day before the payment should have been made MT. SOOy left Arizona so that the in structiOns given to the cashier as to how this payment should be made could not be changed. They expected us to sue for this money and expected that as soon as we filed our suit, that the stock of the company could be easily picked up; but instead of suing for the money we simply took possess ion of the mines under the provisions of our contract. and claimed a forfeit ure of the mines.
 Regarding all this talk about a ten der having been made, I simply state 10 you that there was not one cent of money placed where B. F. Graham, or any of the rest of us. could get 8 hold of it. without the use Of a crowbar, on the 9th day of July"
