The long drawn GrahanTewksbury feud has at last probably been brought to an end SO far as Graham is concerned for he now lies unconscious with bullet hole through his body which will prob ably result in bis death
 The facts connected with the shoot ing this morning are as follows:
 Tom Graham was going to Tempe with a load of gram, from his home near the Buttes. and ou the way be was fired upon by parties who were hid in the brush, waiting for him.
 The bIlI entered back of the left shoulder aud came out just under the right ear. He at once became unconsci- Ous aLd has remained So until now, with the exception of few minutes at tune, when he is able to talk little.
 A man by the name of John Rhodes, who is known fo be an ally of the Tewks- bury outHt, was found in the vicinity and at once placed under arrest as an accomplice.
 Tewksbury was seen going across the country on horseback, in the direction of Tonto Basin. A posse was at once organized and started in pursuit, and they will not return without him, dead or alive. They are determined set of men and will accomplish their purpose if such thing IS possible. Tempe is lrryII nut h threats of lynchIng should Tewksbury be caught.
 It i5 sai1 that John Rhodes is also ID danger of violence from the excited peo- pie,
 live the night through, as his wound is considered as fatal.
 l. .ter advices received from Tempe thIs afternoon says tnat the shooting tOCk place near the Buttes between Mr. Cummings and Dr. Grrgg'e
 Ms, Gregg was milking in her yard when sne heard report and as she oJked up she Saw the smoke and at the same time Graham ieii from the wagon to the ground 10 an unconscious con- alton. Then the man who fired the sh.t mounted horse and putting spurs to 1t, took off across the country toward TOnso Basin.
 Mrs. Greg5s indentified the man tEat dId the shooting as TeWksbury.
 Few wksbury was last seen by a M-. Fraukenburg, mounted on a large bay horse and riding as fast as possible. Contrary to the first reports Graham was not taken to Tempe, but Is at the residence of Dr. Grcggs.
 John Rhodes, the man that was ar- rested has been hanging around Tempe for several days, and his actions have caused comment, and it is the general belief that he was there to keep watch of the movements of the movements of Graham. RhOces is q brother in-law of Tewksbury by marriage, and they have been ths warmest of friends.
 Every available saddle horse iu Tenn pc has been secured to take part m the chase after TeWksbury, and until the posse Is heafd from the people will be ID a state of suspense.
 It is the geEeral impression that Tewksbury had 6 crowd of followers waiting for him near by, m the event of a posse starting after hlm. and that they are well provided with horses and arms to resist capture.
 The sht oting Is one mora of the long list of fatalities which have grown out of the deadly fued that began through cattle stealing in Tonto Basin some five years ago. Since the beginning of the trouble at least a dozen of lives have been lost.
 Advices from Tempe were received at 4:45 saying that Charley Mcfarland Tho was out with the posse, had re- turned and said that the trail had been lost.
 Graham died late this afternoon. Sheriff Montgomery and Captain Crea- shaw will return to Phoenix this eve- hing with Rhodes, VI ho was arrested this morning in connection with the affair.
