w. D. Tremaine charging the defen- dant with grand larceny of an auto mobile.
 Redewill was held in $500 bail for hearing two of his brothers going on the bond.
 Cass, Redewill, a brother. was ar rested by Sheriff Adams charged with resisting and obs,ructng an. officer in the performance of his >iuty. He was released on his own recogniZ- ance for a hearing in justice court at later date. The arrests came at the close of an exciting day in which W. D. Ire maine, the automobile man." and motor policeman Dan Hosmer secured the country at racing speed from ScottsdaIe to Peoria searching for the famous Pope Hartford car which has come so close to winning the great Phoenix-Los Angeles road race on two occasions
 over one hundred miles was cov- cred during the afternoon in this search culminating in sensational episode at the RejeWill house Second and Van Buren streets in the evening when sheriff Jeff Adams armed with q warrant for the arrest of Victor Redewill was refused admittance by Cass ReieWil and sent for an axe with which to batter down the door. All lights in the house were ex- tinguished according to a statement made by the sheriff last night who said that under the cover of dark ness an escape was affected.
 When the purpose of the officer to force an entrance became apparent the door was opened. Victor was not there and Cass was placed under ar rest He refused to accompany the sheriff and it is said had to be es- corted to the waiting automobile with considerable show of force. Soon after the arrival at the sher- frs office Victor Redewill gave him. self up, and Judge C. w. Johnstone was summoned to arraign the pris- oners. w. n Tremaine. the complaining witness. tells the following story of the events leading up to the thrilling events of last night. Last fall,' sa! Tremaine. T purchased vhe machine from the Redewils for the Phoenix Los Angeles race. giving my note for $75O. This note fell due q few days ago and tEe Redewills demanded their money. 1 tendered $45O which was refused They then told me that they had a prospective buyer and we settled upon a price at which l would l sell the car
 "On Wednesday they produced a man whom l did no, know as the | buyer He said he was ready to pay | over the money if the machine was as ] represented. l spent great deal of l time anu several hundred dollars l worth of material in fitting and ad- | justing the auto, and Thursday | morning was ready for demonstra- tion
 T left the car in front of the of !! flee of Greene and Griffin and went to [ get shaved When l returned the !! machine was gone. byStander told | me that Victor Redewiu and a strange 1 man hal driven it away. There was l very little gasoline in the tank. and l supposed they would return in a l short time
 'I waited until 12. 90 and then started in search, found that they | had picked mp gasoline near the ln- | dian school. and from that point trace | was lost.
 During the afternoon I scourel Ihe ! country securing the assistance of ! Officer Hosmer on his fast motor l cycle At 5:30 I became convinced | that the car had been sept away and | secured the warrant. Word came 1 from Agua Fria early in the evening 1 that car answering ',he description 1 had passed that place travelling very ! rapidly. If that was the Pope Hart ] ford it is probably headed for Cali | forna an1 win be stopped at the | river.
 Absolutely no effort was made to | recover the car by process of law I want the car and made :ne partial 1 tender. in good faith. Failing that | was ready to sell, and was acting | upon the suggestion Of the RedewillS l in getting the car ready for a pur- 1 chaser which they had agreed to pro- luce. My equity is heavy one"
 The RedewiIls made no statement | last night, and it is not known where | Victor Redewill left the car which Is ! said at the sherffs office, he ad !! mitted taxing Presumably he thought | that a right existed under the law to take possession of the auto although | the authorities say they are at a loss | to understand why the seizure was | made so summarily and the car ap ! parently hurried beyond their juris- 1 dictiOn.
 Victor Redewill was arrested last l evening on d warrant by Justice of !!
