CASA GRANDE.
A FLURRY OF EXCITEMENT AT THE
 RAILROAD TOWN.
A Limb of the Law Causes Great Tribula- tion-The Peace and Quiet of the
 Town Disturbed.

ago the good citizens of Casa Grande were somewhat surprised to learn one of the legal fraternity had cast his lot with the growing town, hung out his shingle and proceeded to hunt up some would be clients. Therein methinks the gentleman erred. By the way, the name of this lawyer (so called) was given as Oscar Adams. His first case and client came shortly in the person of one Pedro, accused of appropriating the chickens formerly belonging to Jas. O'Neil. MT. Adams plea was so eloquent and convincing that the jury promptly acquitted, being convinced beyond reasonable doubt that the chickens were simply paying a neighborly visit to the chickens be- longing to the aforesaid Pedro. At the conclusion of the case, no doubt seeing double fee in prospect, this attorney, unmindful of the ethics of the profession, advises Mir. O'Neil to sue for the chickens on a writ of re- pleviu. The chickens having been proven the property of MT. O'Neil, he conveniently chose the better plan and simply and summarily cut their visit short and took them home.
 Next we find him appearing as the attorney of Al Richeson in an action for cumulative damages, brought by Mir. Richeson for failure to perform | contract another party aside from the parties to the suit, was indirectly interested, and the conduct of the at torney in presenting the case was such that he was charged by his client with conducting his case in the interests of all parties rather than the one, in fact trying to carry water on both shoul- ders.
 Affairs as far as outward show goes now resumed their normal condition for 8 short time.
 Just previous to the meeting of the board of supervisors, MT. Adams went to Judge Marshall with some papers asking him to sign them as he wish
 ed to have them served on the parties at once. This MT. Marshall declined to do hut stated that he would look them over and if correct would sign them and give them back for service.
 Judge Marshall neglected to do SO or rather did not do so, first for the req son that the statutes had not been complied with, and then he left Casa
 Grande very early next day for Flor
 ence to attend upon the meeting of
 the board of supervisors. But the
 papers in some manner received the
 signature or what purported to be the
 signature of Judge Marshall and were
 in the hands of an officer for service.
 I am informed that they were not
 served.
 In the meantime would be bad
 mana holy terror-made his appear
 ance on the scene. His language was in-
 sulting to be compelled to hear it, and
 after making the air blue with his
 threats and vulgarity was taken down a peg or two by Mexican who simply mopped the floor with him. That same night he woke the neighborhoodi in the vicinity of Flyers hotel by his loud and boisterous requests, first for the loan of five dollars to continue his gambling
 spree, secondly for the loan of gun,
 Mexican. The next day he was com
 pelled to sell his horse in order to pay 1 debts and in the settlement of his , transactions considerable bad language , and some threats were used. This f affair eliminated in his applying g r vile epithet to John Bryson who had , his horse in charge and had refused , to deliver him except on the payment
 of the pledge money. MT. Brysor
 promptly struck the bad man, ,bruising f his nose and face The officer, deputy }, sheriff Price, being near by arrested r MT. Spears, the bad man and took hin j. to the jail and then came back ant e arrested MT. Bryson who was taker d before Judge Marshall, plead guilty 0 g an assault, was fined five dollars, pait r his fine and was discharged from GUS ;. tody.
 MT. Spears was charged with dis > turbance of the peace but at the tim $ of his arrest no warrant had beer g issued, but was taken in charge by tn ~ officer.
 ll This Mir. Adams claims was al Il illegal arrest for which MT. Adam e sought to have Sheriff Fryer and al Ie his bondsmen and Deputy Price al D. rested on warrants.
 The morning after the arrest ( Spears MT. Adams was himself arres n ed on a warrant of arrest issued b se Judge Marshall on 8 complaint swor of to by A. Price, charging Oscar Adam w with falsifying the records, so l ar 70 informed. In making the arrest Del ,s uty Sheriff Price, for reasons be: ls known to himself was compelled h. use the handcuffs. MT. Adams WE
 promptly released on bail bond an
 proceeded at once to the trial of th of Spears case. The trial of this case r a suited in the acquittal of Spears bu ay Mir. Adams was not sparing in h of abuse of the Deputy Sheriff, the Judg a and the humble representative of u tn county-yours truly.
 ,h After the trial of Spears, MT. Adam lt had his preliminary examination b 'e- fore Judge Marshall, resulting in h or being held in $500 bonds to appei
 before the next grand jury.
