No Other Application Considered By Mayor
 And Council
Contracts Awarded For Grading And Curbing
 Willis Street
CFrom Tuesday's DaiIyl

Appointment of Frank H. Heisler chief of police, to fill the unexpired term of s. A. Prince, deceased, and the awarding of the contracts for the grading, guttering, eurbing, buff fers and arches of Willis street, be- tween Virginia and Granite streets, comprised the principal business transacted by the City Council at its special session last night.
 Mr Heisler, the new chief of police, has been connected with the police force of this city at various times the last sixteen years. Since the death of former Chief of Police Prince he has oficiated in that ca pacity as well as several times be- fore, during the absence of the reg ular incumbent of the office from the city. He has been a resident of this county quarter of cen tury, and before coming here was chief of police officers for the Read ing < Pennsylvania road, in Penn sylvania. In announcing the appoint ment of MT. Heisler, Mayor Gold water stated that only one police of feer was needed in daytime, with two at night, so that the advance ment of MT. Heisler to the position of chief will not create a vacancy in the police department. MT. Heis- Ter was warmly congratulated by his many friends after the adjournment of the Council. No other nomina- tions were made for the place, al though it was reported the last two weeks that Officer A. G. Johnson of the "Great White Way beat was an avowed candidate.
 The contract for the grading of Willis street was awarded to J. D.. Bethune for the lump sum of $1,- 15S.62, and the contract for the gut tering, curbing, drain boxes and buff fers was let to the Johnson-Shea com pany, the eurbs and drain boxes to cost s715 cents and the buffers 40 cents a foot

 After the wounded soldier laid for over half an hour on the ground where the trouble occurred, he was picked up and taken to the Plaza and the post ambulance sent for. He was then removed to whipple for medi- cal attention. He refused at the time to make known who the as- sailants were, but later did so. The woman and the soldier above were arrested and placed in the city jail by Officer MeMahon.
 In an investigation of the case yes terday evening, Judge Farley gave the woman a $15 fine, for being drunk and disorderly, which was not paid, while ner soldier aeeompliee was turned loose to appear in court this evening for further hearing. As the status of the crime comes under a felony charge, over which the city has no jurisdiction, the further hear ing of the woman will probably be held in the justice court, later.

 Following a dispute over the right to use water rom spring near his cabin, on Big Bug Creek, Dionysius Muller brought his old shotgun into the game, a few days ago, to back up his claims of possession and own ership, and turned both barrels loose on NJ. Fitzgerald, a near neighbOr. The entire charge of fine shot is said to have struck Fitzgerald on the head and in the neck, and the wounds inflicted are of a serious ma ture. In addition to loading the weapon with fine shot, Muller is said to have added some homemade slugs and cutoff nails, that went whizzing by their objective point. Fitzgerald is said to have been looking at the water site with a view to utilizing it for placer mining purposes, and came up to the place from near the Henrietta mine, where he is residing with his wife and family.
 No particulars of the deed have as yet been received in Prescott, or of what actually occurred between the two men to cause the shooting on the part of Muller. Although the shooting occurred on Friday evening, neither the sheriff nor the district attorneys office was notified by the officers at Mayer. The first news

GARFORD SAYSCOIN
 PAID WASA LOAN"
President Pfau Of Verde River Copper Company Overs That Ohio
 Man Took Option

Garford, said, in part: "Early in 1908 I visited the property and ex- amined it, at the request of NIT. Gar ford. After the examination I was convinced that the property was worthy of development and reeom- mended it to MT. GarfOrd. I recom- mended that he equip it with a hoist, air compressor and other ma cninery and sink the shaft to a depth of 1000 feet. I thought $10,000 a sufficient amount for this. l asked for estimates for the necessary equip ment from the Arizona Mine Supply company, which were furnished, in the probable amount of $500. Re- turning to Ohio I told Mir. Garford that I considered the property val uable and recommended that he ad- vance the necessary $10,000 as fast as it was needed. Garford then wrote a check for $1,O71 in pay ment of the first installment of the purchase price of the machinery"
 He admitted further that the ma chinery was installed and the un- watering of the shaft commenced. He said that he was employed as assistant to the general manager of the United Verde Copper company and was in charge of operations at the property until the return of Gen eral Manager Pfau from the East, who "fred' him.
 Afterwards he came here for a consultation with Mr. Pfau and Judge Parks. He met MT. Pfau about the middle of October, 1909, and after stating that he was sorry to see matters in such bad shape, asked MT. Pfau if something could not be done to settle the disputes. He said that he told MT. Pfau that he wanted to see MT. Garford get his money, as he felt responsible for Garford making the advances. He declared that Pfau made answer "I am not making any presents,' and that the interview came to an end. Leonard admitted further that he visited the property in company with MT. Garford, in the absence of MT. Pfau from the camp, and made second examination, reaching the same conclusion as at first, "that it is a good proposition" He would not say on cross examination that MT. Pfau was present when MT. Garford drew the check for $1,071 in payment of the first installment of the purchase of the machinery.
 Court adjourned at 3:3O o'clock, owing to the illness of Judge Parks, who is associated with Attorneys E. s. Clark and Henry F. Aushurst for the plaintiff. Attorney R. E. Nor rison conducted the case for the de- fense. Further hearing will be re- sumed this morning at o'clock.

 Muller had his examination be- fore Judge Knapp of Mayer yester- day morning and was held to ap- pear before the next grand jury, with bail fixed at $500, which ne furnished. He then returned to his home. It was reported last night that Fitzgerald will survive his in- juries.
 This is the second time that Null Ter has had serious trouble over land and water rights in that section. About ten years ago he became in volved with a man named Hunter, and with the same shotgun and with practically the same character of load, turned both barrels into his body, seriously wounding him. For this crime he was tried and convict ed,, and sent to Yuma for six years. He served a term of three and one. half years, and was pardoned by the governor. He then returned to the old place, and has been in peace able possession ever since, with the exception of the affair of last Fri day.

 Contrary to the expectations of many, the hearing of the case of Arthur L. Garford vs. the Verde River Copper company, in the Dis trict Court, yesterday, was devoid of sensational development. No charge of fraud or misrepresentation was made and no evidence assaulting the integrity of either Garford or Lee Pfau. president and general manager of the company, was introduced. Dur ing the interoduction of the testi- mony it was brought out in the evi- denee that Samuel B. Leonard, who examined the property for Garford, recommended the expediture of the amount advanced by the plaintiff. He stated on the witness stand that he considered the property valuable and considered it safe investment He did not deny that he arrived at this conclusion. after. two thorough examinations of the ground, one of which was made by himself and Gar ford in the absence of Presindent Pfau. The latter, it appears from the evidence, was awaiting the ar rival of Leonard and Garford in thi: city when Leonard and Garford, com ing from the East, left the train at Jerome Junction, went to the camp, by way of Jerome, and ex amined the mines.
 It is claimed in the complaint that the defendant company is indebted to Garford in the amount of $19, 9s4.5O, for moneys advanced during the period intervening between the 1st of January, 1908, and November 17th, 1909, and that the defendant company refuses to reimburse the plaintiff in the said amount.
 To this allegation the defendant files a general denial, denying that the plaintiff loaned the amount tc defendant or that the latter promised to pay the same to plaintiff. Tine general denial is fortified by a special denial in which it is specific ally set forth as a defense, "That on or about the 18th day of March 1909, defendant, at the special in stance and request of plaintiff, grant ed to him an option to purchase from defendant 5O0,o shares of the cap ital stock of the company, upon the plaintiff paying or causing to be paid therefor the sum of 20 cents a share, and that by reason of and 'on account of said option, plaintiff has paid to this defendant the sum of about $2O,OeO, and that in no other manner than as herein stated nor on any other account has de- fendant received from plaintiff any sum of money whatsoever"
