 Captain Adams was one of the most noted SheriiTs in California. He, together witt Sheriff Harry Morse, of Alameda, were the two men who followed desperadoes, and generally captured them in sny part of the State. They were ia all the great battles with robbers, horse-thieves, etc, that oc cured in California. Adams was one of the bravest and coolest men, and, also, one of the most quiet gentlemen that California contained He was for twelve years the Sheriff of Santa Clara county, and was the men who, when guerilla ban,is were formed in California in 1883, for the purpose of takin 2 Arizona and New Mexico, and who had planned the robbiag of the Washoe stage-eoach. at Placerville, for tine purpose oi prccuring funds, orgauized a force and followed them to Piacerville; at which place several of the guerril.as were killed and the remainder captured. In tat fight Capt. Adams received rife bullet. in his side. but it's force was checked by a gold watch he had in his vest pocket. He was also the man who pursued Vtsquez and his
 q he all &f,n fllf1F California and drove them out of the State. When Vasquez again returned, Adams got after him once more aud when they were in Inyo county, California, took from him sing Iy and alone, thirteen of his horses and would have captured Vasquez had the re- mainder of the posse but followed him. For sery.ces in hunting Yasquez, he Legislature of California paid Adams s, 200.
 Adams was a captain during the Mexlcan War and was, at that time, a noted frontiers man and Indian fighter. He went all over New Mexico and Arizona during that period, was honorably discharged in New Mexico as captain in the army, went to California III 40 and remained there a long time. He had been in Arizona since last December and he and Mr. Finley were in charge of mines for a California company. 1lr. Finley was TOT IOur years cleTk Ol Sdutd AidId COuuts, one of the noted men of the State aud brave in every respect. Indeed, both men were. as brave as they possibly could be and the probabilities are these two men must have been wavlaid or taken at a disadvantage; that, from their general reputation, two Mexicans would not be apt to attack either one of them when ordinarily prepared or awake. Tine blow to Arizt,na, from this murder, in keeping away moIIeyed men, will be felt for months to come.
 Capt. J. H. Adams of Pima County. upon the recommendation of Judge Silent, was appointed, about ten days ago, Deputy United States Marshal for the section of country he was in. The appointment was principally due to the esteem in which he was held for indefatigability in pursuing and capturing criminals.
 From the remarkably high recommenda- tions, from every source, that U. s. Marshal Dake received relative to tho courage and enterprise of Capt. Adams the Marshal feels that he has lost very valuable assist ant and the government an officer whose like cannot readily be met with.
