Abner Lee Loses Both His Legs in a
Thrashing Machine.
The Woodland Maa of Yesterday con-
tains the following particulars in regard to
an accident reported briefly in the tele-
graphic columns of the RECORD UNION
Thursday morning:
ION Wednesday, while Abner Lee was
at work on Boards thrasher, on the Benz
merly ranch, near Blacks, he stepped into
the cylinder of the machine and both legs
were terribly mangled and torn off-one at
the knee and the other between the knee
and the ankle. The draper, or the self
feeder belt, became misplaced, and in ad-
justing it he slipped or was pushed into the
cylinder. The thrasher was running on
the crop of Beamer & Carroll, who had
been farming portion of the Bemmerly
ranch.
Mr.. Lee was brought to Woodland
Wednesday evening, and physicians i'm
mediately summoned to attend on him.
" The accident occurred soon after 5
o'clock, and it was nearly when the I'M
fortunate man was brought to his mothers
home, in the eastern part of town. During
the entire time, up to the time the doctors
administered the ether to him, he was fully
conscious, and exhibited the most extraor.
binary nerve and manly grit. He coolly
gave the men directions how to bandage
his mangled limbs, and told them Just how
to lay him in the wagon so that it would
jolt him as little as possible He insisted
on talking, and when he felt himself grow.
ing weak and faint begged the boys to talk
to him and Keep him awake until he could
get home and see his family.
The surgical operations were performed
by Drs. Kier and Lyford It was found
necessary TO take the left leg off about four
inches above the knee, and the right was
taken off ten or twelve inches below the
knee. His nervous vitality appeared to be
abundant and sufficient to carry him over
the crisis. At o'clock this morning he
was sleeping quietly. The physicians are
hopeful.
'Abner Lee is the Oldest son of Mrs. Abb

old; he has wife and two small children.
He is an industrious and hard-workine
man, and his terrible misfortune is la.

THAT the indignity of the vicious assault
by Terry upon Justice Field should be
supplemented by the arrest of the latter, is
matter of shame to the State. There is
nothing whatever in the case, and all its
details have been exploited, that warrants
this action. 1t is due to the haste and the
i'll judgment of the prosecuting officials of
Stockton, or of San joaquin county. 1t
has come to strange pass, to be sure,
when the assailed party, who is Judge of
an American Court and is assaulted because
of the dissatisfaction of litigant with the
tenor Of decision OF the Court, must be
put to the shame of charge of murder
because his assailant has been killed by an
officer of his Court. We repeat, that there
is not the shadow of an excuse for listen
ing to the rawlings of woman who hates
the tribunal over which Justice Field pre-
sides, and yielding to her demand for the
arrest of the chief officer of the Court.
Nevertheless, We feel certain that the ven.
cradle jurist will prove his title to good
citizenship by appearing before his ac-
cusers and clearing his skirts of even the
faintest suspicion that he had any contem-
plation of the killing of Terry, or that
there was any suggestion of scheme or
plot to work the undoing of that misguided
man.

the jeweler, his friend. Louis Klodt, is in
charge of his store. Mr.. Klodt has trav-

and Rome. Among valuable relics in his
possession are some ancient coins, which
are TO be seen in the show windows of MIR.

coin / $50 years old, minted with the head
of Emperor Tiberius upon it. 1t was found
in the ruins of Pompeii. Another piece of
Roman money bears the head Of Emperor
Claudius. 1t is 1880 years old ard was
also found in the buried city of Pompeii.
The Oldest piece is Macedonian coin, on
which is represented the head of Alexan-
der the Great. 1t was found 200 miles west
of Jerusalem, and is over 1900 years old.
The pieces are all silver, and are considered

JUSTICE FIELD preached full sermon
upon the system of free government in his
reply to the inquiry if he was armed when
Terry assaulted him. "No," said he,
Ewhen the Judges of Cour ourts are COM
PEELED to arm themselves for defense against
assault in consequence of their judicial
action, it will be time to dissolve the Courts
consider government failure and relapse
into barbarism." We might very well
extend the remark with the supplement
that when the Courts of the country are
led to believe that they can render judg-
ment only at the peril of the lives of the
Judges, their usefulness will have departed
and it looks as if there is class in the
country that hold to the claim of right to
browbeat, knock down, and even to pistol
Judges that do not conform their rulings
to the notions outsiders entertain.

IMPORTANT DECISION FROM THE GEN
ERAL LAND OFFICE.
A Mineral Land Claim that Affects the
Townsite of an FL Dorado
Mining Village.

In December last l.. E. P. Lachlan APP
piled to the Federal Land Office in this city
for mineral entry on certain tracts of
land in Ell Dorado county. The applica-
ton was rejected by Register Hetzel on the
following grounds:
First-The conflict of portion of the
tract sought to be entered with the grant to
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
Second-On the ground of conflict of
other portions of the tract with mineral
patents already issued by the Government.
Third-On the ground of conflict with
patents issued by the Government, under
the town-site law, to the inhabitants of the
town of Greenwood, Ell Dorado county,
on February 3, 1874.
The Register held that the first two
grounds of conflict are local, and not of
general interest. The Commissioner of the
General Land Office has sustained the
Register in his rejection of the application
upon each and every ground but, with
reference to the third ground, has in
structed the local Office that, if so de-
manded by the mineral applicant, a hear
ing must be ordered to determine whether
or not this particular mineral claim was
known to exist prior to its entry to the
townsite patent, or prior to its occupancy
or improvement for residence or business
purposes under the townsite title.
The General Land Office further holds
that if it be proven, after a hearing, that
the land in conflict was known to be yalu-
able for mineral purposes at or prior to the
inception of the TOWNSHIP entry, or prior
to its occupancy and improvement for resi-
dence or business purposes under the town.
site title, the General Land Office will
recommend the Secretary of the Interior
that suit be instituted in the name of the
United States to declare that portion of the
town-site patent proven to have been
known to be valuable for mineral purposes
void and of no effect. The Commissioner.
in his decision, refers to a decision rem
dered by the Secretary of the Interior on
July 9th last, in the case of the Govern
ment against Laney.
The effect of this decision, under certain
possible contingencies that may arise,
would seem to be very far-reaching and
full of importance to towns in the mining
sections, many of which are built on ground
that in early days was covered by mining
claims, and which ground is still known to
be valuable for mining purposes. The re-
suit of the contest in the Greenwood case
will be watched with great interest, as the
character of the evidence that will be taken
at the hearing ordered by the General Land
Office will determine the extent of tie dan
ger that threatens other towns located I'M
der similar conditions to those of Green

and the other honored members of that
Order, whose principles were very dear 10
him, and which had as their aim the best
interests of the State. He could not say
| more than that he thanked his assembled
friends from the bottom of his heart for this
kindly greeting on the anniversary of his
birthday, and would call on Judge Arm
strong to come to bis relief and say those
things which he (the speaker then felt
| powerless to express.
Judge Armstrong came forward and spoke
briefly. He would say. in behalf of the
citizens OF Sacramento, that Mayor Gregory
had well merited their highest esteem. of
which these tokens were but symbols.
The recipient deserved we'll at the hands of
the people of this city, whose municipal af.
fairs he had administered with an ability
that was not obscured by that becoming
modesty that gives so great a charm to the
lives OF public men. These magnificent
gifts were not more magnificent than
MN upon whom they had been be-
slowed. Such tokens of a people's
esteem and faith in their public men
could not be offered too frequently to
those who IN positions of trust do their
duty. 1t was right and proper that faithful
officials should be encouraged by these ex-
pressions of appreciation of their public
acts.
Mayor Gregory said that Judge Arm
strong, instead of coming to his relief, had
only added to his confusion by giving ex-
preston to fiattering sentiments, lust as his
friend, Mr.. Devlin, had done and he hoped
that Secretary of Sta HendrickJwould help
him out.
Mr.. Hendricks elbowed his way to the
front, and said this was serious occasion,
and they couldn't get any fun out of him.
He had often had his fun with the Mayor.
privately, but on this occasion he began to
feel jealous of him. If be might indulge
IN the patois of the day, he would say that
the popular recipient of these honors was
liable to cook his (the speakers) goose.
Laughter If it were himself that had
been made the recipient of these beautiful
testimonials, under such affecting circum-
stances, he would want to steal outside and
give vent to his feelings in private. But,
all joking aside, it was grand occasion,
and person who could notappreciatesuch
spontaneous demonstration of good will
as this must certainly be without
those responsive susceptibilities that give a
charm to the highest character of mankind.
Again dropping into humorous vein, Mr..
Hendricks said, in conclusion: "Buf, grand
as this occasion is, allow me to prophecy.
that as regards the life of our host.
1t is only grease-spot to the future"
Laughter and applause
After few more remarks bv Mayor
Gregory, the guests repaired to the dining
room, where the ladies of the house had
prepared choice supper, and the re-
mainder of the evening was spent in social
chat, lmpromptu toasts, etc, interspersed
with choice selections by the Hussar Band.

IT is contended by the wife of Judge
Terry that he only intended to slap Justice
Field in the face, and not to kill him, and
in proof of the assertion it is pointed out
that Terry was found to have no arms upon
his person when his body was searched.
But there was ample time to have removed
his weapons when his wife fell upon his
body, crying for vengeance But whether
Terry was armed or not is immaterial,
since no man familiar with the difficulty
Terry had in the United States Court, his
well-known character as weapon-carry-
ing man, his boasts of the fact, and his
threats against the persons of Justice
Field ard Judge Sawyer, could act upon
any other presumption than that Terry
was armed, and was provoking Field to
conflict for the express purpose of killing
him. 1t has not come to pass as yet that
any litigant who is disgruntled over de-
cision adverse to him has license to slap
the face of the magistrate. When we
come to that pass Judges must go armed
no, when that condition of society is es-
tablished there will be no necessity to elect
or appoint Judges, and the law may retire
into other than American fields for the
exercise Of justice, leaving to us for the
settlement ofissues by the strong ght hand,
and the code of the pistol and the knife.
The annual report of the Internal Rev
enue Department of the Government, lust
filed, discloses the fact that there is con-
tinued increase of the consumption of to-
bacco and liquors. But the showing is
not of the same character made four years
ago, when the increase wasin the direction
of malt liquors in the one case and of
cigars in the other. Four years ago it was
shown in these columns that the per capita
consumption of spirituous liquors in the
United States had, in forty years, fallen off
over rs per cent, while the per capita
consumption of malt liquors had advanced
more than six fold; that the consumption
of tobacco had its chief per capita increase
in cigars. The present showing is that
there has been per capita increase in the
consumption of alcoholic liquors and
decrease in the use of malt liquors This
is not easily accounted for, and we are at
loss to divine the reason for this showing.
Certainly it does not tend to reflect credit
ably upon the sobriety of the people, nor
does it show that prohibitory enactments
have had much effect. In the matter of
tobacco we can well understand why the
per capita of cigars has not kept pace with
that of the more dangerous and democrat.
