CHECK ARTIST S BOUND ID
 JURY
Tidnor Thought He Could Fool Copper Queen Game, But Is Caught With the Goods and Held to the Grand Jury.

George Tidnor, miner, has gone the way of the great majority of would-be grafters who have .bucked the Copper Queen Store System with forged checks. On the End of the present month Tidnor forged the name of Harry Lane, another employe or the company, to an order for goods amounting to s5.50. His arrest at the hands of Officer Doyle was a mat ter of short time. Yesterday he was arraigned before Justice Owen F. Murphy and held to await the ac. ton of the grand jury in the amount of $500 bond. He failed to get Secu- rites and will be taken to Tombstonc at once. j.
 Not much Is known of Tidnor here aside from the fact that he worked in one of the mines. ~but he evidently concluded that there are easier ways of getting money than pushing a car or hammering the head Of a drill. The caeck idea was his downfall, for it is said that the evidence against lid nor is so conclusive that his convic- tion is a matter of course.

WILL HAvEELECT|ON
 CONTEST
Ex-Mayor Overlook Sends to
 Tombstone For Attorney
 Cunningham For Purpose of Contesting Election Returns.

The proposed contest of the election in Ward 1 at Douglas continues to be the sole topic of conversation in the Copper City.
 From usually reliable sources the Review learns that the contest pro- posed to be instituted Is the direct re- suit of great deal of betting done just prior to the day of election on the office of justice of the peace. The op- posing candidates were Ben Rice. democrat, and George Hardiker, re publican. both extremely popular citi- 2ens of Douglas. Rice won by q small majority, fifteen or sixteen. and the friends of Hardiker who backed their judgment, proposed 10 institute the contest in the hope that the returns may be changed in sufficient numbers to elect their favorite.
 Over the telephone last night the Review received information that c. A. Overlook, eX-mayor of Douglas, has retained D. L. Cunningham. an attor- ney of Tombstone. 10 institute the contest proceedings. Mir. Cunningham went to Douglas on Wednesday night and returned to Tombstone on Thurs day morning. but so far no papers have been filed in the district court.
 The general concensus of opinion in Douglas. so far as the Review has been able to learn, Is that the votes in this particular ward were counted cor recuy; that there was no semblance of fraud or illegal voting. but that the election board. unfamiliaS with cer- tain requirements of the law. were guilty of improper conduct. One of the charges made against the election board is that they took the ballot box, after the votes were all cast, into restaurant with them while they ate their supper. This performance was repeated again at midnight when time for lunch came. Another charge made against the election board is that in- stead of returning all of the unused ballots to the office of the Board of the board permitted some of the unused ballots to be used for scratch pads and they were scattered about the place of voting after the polls were closed.
 C. A. Overlook. who is instrumental in instituting the contest, has secured some official ballots which he claims he found in stove, or that some one else found them in stove.
 Feeling in Douglas is said to be at a high pitch and the air is full of ru- moTs of charges and counter charges. all of which hinge around the office of ins,ice ef the Feaee.

$500 WANTED BY
 BENSON EDITOR
(Continued from Page oneJ


 .,lcss it for consideration.
 In order to secure evidence of the proposal Mir. O'Reilley states that he asked the editor to name the sum nee essary to secure the suppression of it's publication, and the editor promis- ed to name the amount at IF o'clock that night. Promptly at the appoint ed hour Mir O'Reilley met the editor, and after making the statement that he considered the photograph copy worth 5000 10 him, as an advertise mont for the Press. agreed with MT. G'iicilley to destroy the plate for $500.
 Mr. O'Reiliey returned to Bisbee and secured stenographer, after telling the editor that he would give him his answer on the following night. He returnad to Benson with the stenogra- pher and had him stationed in room adjoining his at the hotel. He then looked up the editor and told him If he would go to the hotel with him they could settle the matter. Evidently Mir. White smeiled a mouse, and refus- cd to go to tke hotel. Mir. OfReilley then in no uncertain terms told the Benson editor what he thought of him, and defied him to publish the letter, which the editor did on Saturday, and the same was circulated in different parts of the county on Sunday and Monday. s0
 The proposition submitted by White ihe editor of the Press. was known to every candidate on both tickets. Mir. O'Reilley had advance copies made oi the letter. and the same was shown freely On the streets of Bisbee, togeIh CT with the story of Whites attempfe ed bcld-up.
 Just how the editor Of the Press could imagine that the letter was worth s500.00 to anybody is beyond comprehension. It appears that the Ccchise County Press is Republican newspaper. and was not satisfied with ! the draft for s40 which was enclosed to pay for "write-up" of Democrat ic ticket. The feelings of the editor were outraged. but not to such an ex tent that he was not willing to be pac fled with $500 for hush money.
 1 The scheme failed to work, and Mir OReiIley has testimony gathered tC 1 lay before the next grand jury, when 2 charge of blackmail will he preferred against the editor of the Cochlst County Press.
 ! In addition number Of Bisbee and 1 Tombstone business men have notified l the editor If the Benson Press to can eel their advertising contracts and dis continue the paper.
