Tucson, Ariz.i June 10 Sam Finley,
a well known politician, and ex-city
marshal of Tucson, was arrested last
night by special officer from Tomb
stone, on the charge Of attempted as
sault to commit murder. The matter

escaped and Deputy Sheriff Brevy was
shot. Finley was in Tombstone at
the time. Finley claims his arrest
is due to the enmity of Wells-Fargo
officers. He absolutely denies all com
