JUDGE TERRY KILLED
WHIMS IN THE ACT OF SI.APFINO THE
FACE OF CHIEF JUSTICE FIELD.
Upon the arrival of the southern over
luml train Wednesday at Latlirop, Cal., at 7:30
o’clock morning, United
States Judge Stephen J. Field and Dep¬
uty United States Marshal David Nagle
walked into the dining room for break¬
fast, and sat down side by side. Soon
after, Judge David S. Terry and wife
came in. They were proceeding to an¬
other table, when Mrs. Field, Terry, evidently
recognizing retired Justice the did not sit
down, but to train for some
unknown purpose. Before she reached
it. however, room) and just as she had left the
dining Judge Terry approached
Justice Field, and, stooping over him,
slapped Lis face. At this juncture Dep¬
uty Marshal Judge Nagle arose from his seat
and shot Terry through the heart.
The causes which led up to the tragedy
are as follows: JuUge Terry was mar¬
ried to Sarah Althea Hill, who claimed
to be the wife of ex-Scnator Sharon,
while prosecuting her brought claim against the
Sharon estate. This him into
resentful attitude toward Justice Field,
who last year rendered n decision in the
United States circuit court, denying her
claim to be the wife of Sharon. Mrs.
Terry created a scene in court during the
reading of llie derision, charging Jus¬
tice Field with being corrupt, und as
she refused to remain quiet, Justice
Field directed that she be removed from
court. When the deputy attempted to
carry out the order of the court she be¬
came involved in Judge n personal quarrel with
that offiriitl, dagger and Terry interfered,
drawing a from his vest. Ho
was disarmed, und both Terry nnd his
committed wife were adjudged jail. Newspaper in contempt articles and
to
were printed intimating tliut E’ield it would and be
dangerous for Justice
Judge which Terry to meet deemed personally, prudent
from fact it was
to have Nagle, as deputy marshal, to ac¬ his
company the chief justice while on
visit to ihe coast. David 8. Terry was
at one time chief justice of the supreme
court of California, and has always been
a prominent figure in the political his¬
tory of the state.

viously anticipated. It is said on good

shaft will, inside of thirty Virginia. days, Th« be
landed there from West
Chicago, Wilmington and Vermillion given
company, which has always em¬
ployment to at least 2,000 men, is also
said to bo negotiating for men from other
points. This company operates mines at
Brtiidwood, LaSalle, Seatonville and
other places, and has grown tired of
the repeated strikes. If the miners of
these places desire to resume work, they
will have to do it quickly, the operators
say, as they do not propose to stand idly
by and see Southern operators take all
the contracts and let the market for their
products be forever destroyed.
