Defendant Succeeds In Getting A New
 Trial
Will Show His Checks To Prove His
 Defense

The civil action of F. G. Mccoy & Co. against George Shurtleff, which was recently decided in favor of plaintiffs, awarding $50 claimed to be due, is to come up for a second trial, Judge Sloan yesterday granting the motion for a rehearing made by Attor- ney Leroy Anderson.
 The case was hotly contested in the first hearing, it being contended by defendant that he had not received credit on his account with the Me Coys when he had sent his checks to them.
 On the other hand it was alleged that these checks were eashed, de- fendant himself receiving such cash, and that it was not applied on his ae- count. It is reported that at the new trial MT. Shurtleff will attempt to prove by the cancelled checks and the notations made on them that they were paid in to the MeCoys on the running account which he owed them.
 This second hearing promises to be of unusual interest for an ordinary civil action, because of all parties con eerned being widely known, and be- cause of the persistence of the defend ant in fighting the claim, who is re- presented by Attorney Reese Ling.

Pioneer Mine Promoter Passes Away In
 Hospital
Death Ends The Career Of We'll Known
 Resident

Dave Grubb, pioneer of this sec tion, who for some thirty-fve years past, has been identified with the min ing industry of Yavapai county, died at Mercy hospital after a long ill., ness yesterday morning. He had been suffering from acute attacks of pleurisy, and when taken to the hos pital was in critical condition. De- spite every possible effort he suceumb- ed to the disease, his extreme age having much to do with his inability to fight of the last attack.
 He came into pubhe notice some five years ago when he disposed of five claims in the Cash mine, for which he was paid something like $100,0OO. The property sold was one-half of the claims owned at that time by Grubb, and the remainder were still in his possession at the time he was brought to the hospital. The remaining five claims, located in the Hassayampa district, are estimated to be worth not less than $1OO,OOO, and possibly much more.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL OF
 UNDER SHERIFF SEAS
(FrOm Saturdays Daily.)

Dressed in a working suit of blue cotton, unshaven and rather unkempt, James R. Sias called before Justice Talbot yesterday afternoon for his pre- liminary hearing on a charge of en- bezzlement preferred by ex-Sheriff Jos. Roberts.
 Quite a number of Prescott people were in attendance as visitors, and oc- cupied seats in the district courtroom where the hearing was held. He was represented by Attorney A. l.. Ham mond, and the territory was looked af ter by Assistant Prosecutor Samuel Pattee.
 At the opening of the case was an nounced by the defence that it was agreeable to proceed with the examina- tion as far as possible, but that the defense could not finish its presentation of the case for a short time, because certain witnesses could not reach Prescott until next week. The hearing was taken up with this understanding, and the first witness was Recorder Mosher, who presented the records of Roberts occupancy of the office of sheriff, and also that of the appoint ment of Sias as under sheriff.
 Assistant Cashier MeCash, of the Prescott National Bank, was next called to certify to a certificate of de- posit which passed through his hands during July of last year, and which it is attempted will be made to show that Sias misappropriated the money of his employer.
 The next witness was Attorney Flaw kins, who testified to having arranged with Sias in the matter of paying the fees in a suit in which it was agreed the sheriff was to get $500 and the costs of serving papers upon the sale of pro- perty connected with the closing of the suit.
 Attorney Ross testified that he had accompanied an eastern lawyer to the sheriff's office when the latter paid Sias for this service with a check in the sum of $335.40. He could not go further than state that Sias accepted this bit of paper in payment for the personal knowledge of what the slip of paper might have been.
 Ex-Sheriff Roberts was the witness of most interest, and after many re- plies to preliminary questions, told the story of Sias' disappearance and his alleged shortage. He said in sub stance that shortly before the shortage was discovered he had called Sias' at- tention to the books not being posted, and had requested him to attend to his work. Sias had promised to do it, but upon his (RobertsO return from

Denver Promoter Has Option On Octave
 Properties
Two Groups Secured At Stipulated Price
 Of $52,500

Golden Age, Golden Cloud, Golden Star, Golden Standard, East Extension, Beehive and Highland, all of which are patented claims; also the Golden Eagle lode claim. A deed to the prop erty is to be placed in escrow with the Commercial Trust Company. The groups are located near Octave, in 7. the Weaver district.
 Further agreement is entered into re- lative to the formation of stock com pany, in which Peterson is to take 5 per cent of the total capital stock of the new corporation, this stock to be paid up and non-assessable. Another section of the agreement provides that in the event of Peterson taking his share of the stock he is to turn back one-twentieth of it to the company.
 This transaction, which has been un- der way for some time past, is taken to mean renewed activity in the section in which the mines are located, and it is the belief of the "wise ones" that the deal is as good as closed now that the options have been taken up.
 Butler also entered into a second option with J. T. Bishop and William De Armond, in the sum of $30,00O, for the Thunderbolt and Verne mining claims.
 The agreement, which was made on February 27 last, provides for an option of eighteen months, and $1,00O of the total is to be paid within the first sixty days of the filing of the papers. On or before the next year $5,00O of the price given is to be paid, and the balance, amounting to $24,00O, is to months, or within the stipulated IS months from the time of first filing the papers.
 Proper deeds to the property in issue are to be executed and placed in escrow with the Commercial Trust Company of Prescott, the agreement providing for the withdrawal of these deeds for Bishop should the party taking the op- tion fail to make good his part of the transaction.
 This transfer means the further op- eration of property in the Octave dis trict, and those interested in this sec tion are pleased that the deal has been eonsummated in a manner to guaran- tee active work on what is believed to be paying property.
 Details were yesterday made public in the matter of an option on a set of claims owned by Andrew Peterson, which has been given by Chauncey E. Butler, of Denver. This deal has been hanging fire for some time, and the matter was at last satisfactorily closed and the agreement made a mat ter of public record yestel a.J- after noon. The option is to extend for IS months, the amount in question to be paid for the property being $22,500.
 According to the provisions of the agreement, Butler is to pay $1,O00 in sixty days, $5,000 in one year. and the balance within the allotted time of one and one-half years. The property in- eluded in the deal comprises the follow ing claims:

A FORTUNATE MAN.
Victim of Crown King Accident Has
 His Arm Set.


 W. S. Jones, the engineer at the Crown King mine, who recently had a narrow escape from a horrible death, came into town yesterday, accompanied by Dr. Mcdonnell, to have his arm set, which was broken in the accident. The injured member has been so swollen that it was deemed unwise to reduce the fracture before this time. Dr. Bar rett and Dr. Mcdonnell performed the operation yesterday.
 MT. Jones gives additional details of the accident that show how close a call he had to an untimely death. He was working at a frue vanner when the back of his jumper was caught by the belt which was running at the rate of 80 revolutions a minute. He braced his feet against the timbers, and push ed with all his might against an up- right timber, the result being that the belt was forced off of the small pulley. A few feet away was a dynamo. with a belt running 2s00 revolutions a minute, and he barely escaped being thrown into it. Had that happened he would never have lived to tell the story.
 MT. Jones states that there are eight cen men at the mine, the work now being confined to pumping. He ex- poets that the coming few months will witness a remarkable activity in the Crown King district.

OCTAVE COM ANY PLACES BOND
 ISSUE Capital Is Obtained To Develop The
 Mine Trust Deed Executed To Cover A Loan Of
 $2OO,OOO

News in mining circles as shown by the records of the recorder, seem to point to renewed activity in the Weav- CT district. The Octave Gold Mining Company yesterday filed a trust deed to the Commonwealth Trust Company of Pittsburg, to cover a loan of $200,- coo, which it is said will be at once available 5o push on work at this well known mine. The deal is in the nature of a bond issue authorized at the Feb ruary meeting of the board of directors of the mining company, there having been block of 400 bonds ordered is sued at a par value of $500 each, the same to draw per cent interest dur ing the time they remain as collateral for the loan.
 Included in the record is a list of all the claims of the mining company which are subject to the terms of the new transaction. They are the Ante lope, Grey Devell, Dun Billy, Golden Rod, Uncle Sam, United States, Last Chance, Deep Diggins, Stanton, and the Blue Ghent, all of which are pat ented claims. The lode claims taken in the deal are the Diagonal Moon dyne, King of Weaver, Mount Ante lope, and the Judge.
 It is made a part of this transfer that the water rights which belong to the mining company become part of the property thus given in trust. Fur ther, it is agreed that after July l, 1907, a sinking fund from the profits of operation be set aside for the pur- pose of meeting the payments due the Commonwealth Trust Company.
 From what little is to be ascertained, as to the proposed working of the mine, it is believed that the money se- cured by this transfer of a trust deed will be largely devoted to the improve ment and working of the property.

Mrs. Potter Palmer and Her Troubles

Mrs. Potter Palmer, whose name was
much in print when she was president
of the board of lady managers of the
Chicago Worlds fair, has been in the
public eye recently on account of her
way of deciding who's who in Chicago
society. Mrs. Palmer has long been re-
garded by Chicago's smart set as the
city's social dictator. She is supposed
to reign over society and to WELD an
authority more d. less absolute. Her
social sway has been endangered. how
ever, by her recent action in appointing
the patronesses for the charity ball. All
ladies belonging to the innermost social
circles are supposed to be on this list,

The ark was lopsided,
In grief was its crew;

The dishes were broken,
The picture books torn,
