PLAYING EVEN.
THE PEOPLE OF CASA GRANDE GET
 EXCITED.
An Amusing but Expensive way of set ting Personal Grievances-The Law
 as Stuffed Club.

pie arrived in Florence on Wednesday evening and nearly all of them were somewhat out of humor. They alleged that their journey was made necessary by some little quibble of law that merely entailed expense upon the county and failed to satisfy the petty spites that inspired it.
 Through it's desire to act with strict impartiality in the matter, THE EN- TERPRIsE interviewed the several parties and gives their statements of the case, together with synopsis of the aute- cedent proceedings.
 On or about January 10th, while c. M. Marshall was absent from Casa Grande, attorney Oscar Adams pre- pared a summons in civil action, all but the signature of the Justice, and made copy thereof with Justice Mar shalPs name appended, and gave 1t to deputy sheriff Hickey for service. It was served before Justice Marshall had returned or signed the original.
 This acton against the party named in the summons aroused his antagon- ism and in turn he made complaint against Adams for forging MarshalPs name to the summons. Adams was ar rested by deputy sheriff Price and taken before Justice Marshall, who was about to hear another case, and he remanded Adams to the custody of the deputy fixing his bonds at 5000 and set his examination at two o'clock the same day. Deputy Price thereupon placed handcuffs upon Adams, but he soon secured the requisite bond.
 The examination at two o'clock re- suited in Justice Marshall holding Adams in $500 bonds to appear before the grand jury upon a charge of for gerry.
 Adams thereupon came to Florence and swore out warrant for the arrest of Justice Marshall upon charge of official malfeasance in connection with his arrest and examination, and Mar shall, together with numerous wit nesses appeared at the examination here on Wednesday. After hearing evidence upon both sides and the argu- ments of the respective attorneys, the Justice dismissed the suit against Marshall.
 JUSTICE MARsHALL's STATEMENT.
 Justice c. Nj. Marshall and deputy sheriff A. Price stated to THE ENTER PRISE representative the facts above given and in addition thereto said that Adams acted with unnecessary haste in securing service of the summons be fore the original was signed, for the purpose of getting fee for the collec ton of sum of money that would have been paid without resorting tt the force of the law; that Adams hat urged the Mexican creditors to pu their claim in his hands for collection and knew if service of the summon was delayed until his (MarshalPs) re turn to Casa Grande, the debt woult be paid and the fee be lost. He stated that Adams had stirred up a grea deal of strife and i'll feeling in Gas Grande and was 8 mischief maker and that he had so conducted him self that he would have to leave tn place. He stated that he gave him
 fair examination and when Adams wa given into custody of the deputy sheri the action of that official in hane cufing him was beyond his control.
 Deputy Price stated that Adams bt came unruly when remanded to hi custody and that he found it necessar to put the irons on him, but it wa not done until they had left the coul !, room.
 ADAMS VERSION.
 Attorney Oscar Adams does not den signing the name of Justice Marsha to the copy of the summons, but h left the original blank for the signs ture of the Justice ,and in this respect h acted with the usual license of a lav yer in such cases; that he gave tn copy to deputy Hickey, but instructe him not to serve it until the origins was signed; that deputy Hickey ws anxious for a fee and served the paper upon his own responsibility, not wit any intent to get him, Adams, int trouble, but thoughtlessly. He state that little jealousies existing betwee . the two deputies ln securing bushes
 prompted the whole difficulty. H considers that he committed no crime
 has nothing to conceal in the premise
 and has been wronged by being place
 under bonds and by the unnecessaril
 harsh treatment he received while LII
 der arrest. He says he purposes r
 turning to Casa Grande and will r !, main there if the business he can S
 cure will warrant it.
 On Thursday the bondsmen of M
 Adams withdrew and he was taken il
 to custody by the sheriff. He WI then taken before the Probate Judg on writ of habeas corpus and r ? leased.
 THE ENTERPRISE can point no nor
 to adorn this tale, but it realizes u
 fact that the county is being t to ( great deal of unnecessary expense :. satisfy personal spites under cover :. the law end that stop should be pl ? to it at once.
