Thatcher and Pima. Ali had been shipped, save 90 cords at Solo. knoxville and SS cords at Pima. The local authorities at Pima had arrested the crew that was loading for shipment the wood lying at the station at that place, As the government had pledged defense in the lodging aud shipping of the same, United States Marshal Grif- fith, under instructions from Washing ton, sent Deputy United States Mar shal Thomas Grindell of this city to load and ship the wood.
 Grindell arrived at Pima Thursday noon and met the crew that was to load the cars. The claimants of the wood immediately forbade him to touch the wood but he paid no heed.
