W. E. ADAMS IN JAIL
His Latest Conflict With the Police
 Was Spectacular.

good long time unless he can make some provision for the payment of ii S20o fine.
 Adams was arrested about noon yes terday some distance west of the race track by Reno Rudd. Though 1t was long way off the municipal preserves the arresting officer was one Of posse of policemen that began operations ia Montgomery addition q little after o'clock yesterday morning and were led by the quarry beyond the corpora tion confines, but being deputy sherifs also they did not stop to consider im2g mary geographical lines.
 1 Adams was arrested for grazing cat tie on the streets Of the city contrary , to ordinance provisions. and after hi; arrest the second charge of resisting an officer was lodged against him. On the first charge he was convicted and fined $50, and on the second he was 1 fined $i5C.
 The story. as told by the police, is that for some time past complaints 1 have been made to them that he had been grazing his little herd of eleven cattle on the public streets in Mont Somery's addition and at times allow i ing them to trespass upon the premises of others. On Wednesday, Marshal Kinney found him watering and graz ing his cattle on East Lincoln street and warned him not to do it. lie said he had no water at home except by pumping and he was too sick to pump so he had driven them to the ditch to i water them, but promised not to do So again. Yesterday morning about 2 c clock someone 'phoned to the mar shal that the cattle were grazing on Tonto street, between South Second and South Third avenues. Officers Kinney Russell and Hill went to the place at Cnce on their wheels. As they an- preached the marshal told Adams he was under arrest. He replied: "YouIl never take me-" and putting spurs to his horse left wide space between them. The officers fired several shots in the air, hoping he would stop at tha warning. The officers say he spent some time trying to dodge them and get back to his house after his Win chester. But seeing they could not get near him with their wheels. as he on horseback could jump ditches and fen ces. they left Officer Reno Rudd on his trail and came back to town. mounted. and with Deputy Sheriff Gibson return ed to the chase.
 By this time MT. Rudd on his wheel had followed his man clear to the bed of Salt river where some distance ahead he saw him trying to secure 2 gun from a Mexican. The latter re- fused to give it up though. and Adams continued going west. Budd .ent to the race track and there secured $ horse. never allowing the man to get out of sight. and followed him to the house on the cid Price ranch. He 6o6 inc -,l. l,i possession of the rancher's shotgun. George Mcdonald by this time had az rived and was with Rudd on the out side of the building. Rudd called tO Adams to give himself up, but he re- piled that he would do so only when he was dead. The rancher went into the house, and telling Adams he want ed no hlOCdshed there, persuaded him to give up the shotgun. Rudd then entered and told him to throw up his hands. Which he did without argument
 By that time the mounted posse had arrived and conveyed him to the city jail. On the way he gave evidence of great anger and among other unkin d things remarked that if he had Cniy secured his Winchester previous to the chase, he would have secrcted himself and doubtless before night would have created several vacancies in the police force.
 His story in court was that of d much abused man. He said first that those who so persistenly informed on him had cows of their own which they pick eted on the street and invariably moved inside when they summoned the officers to make him trouble He also said that there are thousands of cattle driven by his home on South First avenue to the stockyards every week. He denied that he made d practice of grazing his cattle there. He said he bad five acre ranch in the GreennaW tract but the feed is short. Lately h.. had been in the practice of driving his cattle every forenoon by his house in the south part of town and up on the Dutch ditch. near the Henshaw ranch. where he allowed them to graze for q few hours. In the afternoon he drova them back. watered them at his well when able to pump. and then took them back to his ranch. He said he was simply trying to make an hones- . i living. and that when the officers came up his cattle had not been there over two minutes. They had been reported some time before though and the com plaints have been so frequently mada l lllstt HIS riotttillcElS III IllS respect were not given much weight He also denied that he resisted arrest. saying; that the shooting of the officers fright . end his horse so le could not control him.
 The particular reason why the police determined to capture Adams before be returned home and got in possession oG his rifle was his well known fondness 1 for making demOnStl2t ti0nS with tha instrument of dpath
