OFFICER STRIKES SHULzE WITH
 GUN
Night Policeman John Camp
 bell Uses Six Shooter With
 Telling Effect On Head of a
 Copper Queen Miner.

Night Officer John Campbell was ar rested yesterday on warrant sworn to before Justice Hogan by c. V. Shulze. Copper Queen miner, charg- ing Campbell with assault with dead ly weapon. Campbell, who admits the striking. is said by Shulze and those who stood by at the time of the affair, which occurred in the Shattuck saloon about II o'clock Tuesday night, to have attacked Schulze without provocation. Shulze was felled to the floor of the saloon by the blow, a wound on the side of his head necessitating eleven stitches. Campbell ayers that he was forced to act as he did because he feared interference on the part of Shulze when he attempted to search a by-stander for weapons. Campbell was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Hogan yesterday afternoon and al- lowed to go free on a bond of $500 until Monday, the time set for the hearing of the evidence in the case.
 According to the story told by Shulze and, friend who stood with him at the time, three men, among whom was Shulze, were standing at the bar in Shattuck's saloon, all ex- amining a new; patent, combination pocketbook being .shdwn by one of their number 4CAmpbeIl,i it is alleged by these three, came up from the rear of the saloon and without any word of command in his capacity as an of f:cer, or without warning, showed his six-shooter into the stomach of the one who was just showing the purse. z What followed is told in different ! ways by both sides in the contro- versy. Shulze claims that just as he was about to reach for the purse , which was being handed him for il- spection, he was struck from the side by gun in the hands of Campbell and fell to the floor, blood gushing from the deep gash in his head.
 Campbell claims that he suspected the man with the pocketbook to have arms on his person and commanded him to throw up his hands while being 1 searched. At this juncture. says Campbell, the others crowded around the man refusing to put up his hands. Just then Shulze interfered, says Campbell when he turned and struck ! him, fearing that a repetition of the trick played upon Officer Meany a few weeks ago was about to be work ed on him.
 Tt began to look as though I was going to get in mix-up and be kicked about the house and have my gun taken away from me just as Meany was served" said Campbell in re- counting his version of the affair. While am wearing a star I think I have right to keep down possible disturbances. I am not going to get caught that way, and am going to take care of my man every time" is Camp bells way of putting it.
 There are number of questionable characters about town and there are also in their possession brass knuck- les and guns. am gonig to get these weapons every time if I know how and the only way for them to get rid of them, unless they give them to me, is to eat them"
 Campbell insists that he was act ing conseientiously in the performance of his duty. The others state that they were just as peacefully inclined as was possible, and claim that neither of them was drinking to any extent, least of all not intoxicated.
 Shulze appeared in the courtroom yesterday and swore to the complaint charging Campbell with the criminal assault. He had all the appearance of Q badly used up man. His head was swathed in bandages and he was de cidedly the worse for his experience of the night before.
 John Campbell was appointed spe- cial night officer a short time ago to serve under Marshall Snodgrass, that officer making the appointment. Campbell is brother to Jay Campbell. now serving a term in the Territorial penitentiary. and figured conspicuous ly in the preparation of that mans eyi- dence. He has lived in Bisbee for the past four years and is said to have borne a reputation as a peaceable citi- zen prior to being placed on the police force. The attack on Shulze was the theme yesterday on the street for a severe arraignment of Campbell and the methods he pursued in handling the Shattuck saloon affair.
 T don't kRow what else could have done,r said the officer to Review re- porter yesterday. T guess could not have been roasted any more than have, no matter how the thing had come out"
 The man searched for, knuckles by Campbell proved to be unarmed. No
