No RepOse for n Pctrified Man.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Louis lie count who was murdered on
the prairies near Duluth, Mimi, back in
the 4O's, seems doomed to have no rest,
even after the grave closed upon him.
Some weeks ago LIE Counts grave was
discovered by accident in northern Mime
sofa, and the body was exhumed. 1t was
found to be completely petrifed. and the
exhumers started, out. to exhibit it as
curiosity in the Red river valley country.
The owner Of the farm on which the
body was found brought suit, and had it
replevined. Then they had it kept in
cell IN the Polk county Jail for three days
and gus1ded by, armed men. Bonds were
finally given by the exhumers, and the lat
ter took the petriflcation across into North
Dakota. "a,
A few days ago the sons of the dead
man, Enable and Antoine LIE Count of
Red Lake Falls.r Mimi, went to Fargo
with a warrant charging the exhumers
with grave robbery. The Dakota authori-
ties failed to promptly observe the requf-
sition of the Minnesota governor, and dur
ing the delay George Holmes, the owner
of 40 per cent Of the freak, became in
volved in a dispute with McPherin, who
owns the rest of 1t. and the latter shipped
the petrification away during the night and
ran 1t over to Winnipeg.
Holmes and the LIE Counts have gone to
Winnipeg to continue the fight for the
body.

rapturous whirlwind of plaudits. he had
me- nifestly sprung at one bound into the
very first rank of republican orators and
opponents Of American protection.
Millions of copies Of that speech were

earned an eminence Of high esteem among
MS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. by reason of his abil-

In this work he confeSses 70 the lack of

His Long Service.
Justice Field Will reach his eightieth
year, should he live so long on the 4th of
November next. He comes from a family
noted not alone for the enormous achieve
ments of its members, but also for the
length of years they attained He Is
marked. too, by the possession of an iron
will. that now resolves itself into a deter
minstion to remain In active life until he

mere consecutive years than any other JUS
tice In the history of the tribunal is an
open secret. and should he survive his
present illness. which, from the later re-
ports seems probable. he will most likely
attain this end. Having been sworn In as
justice of the Supreme Court Nav 30
1888. he has served without interuption
thlrty-three years, three months and twelve
days. The records of the Supreme Court
show that but two justices have ever ex-
ceeded this length of service Chief Justice
Marshall served thirty-four wears five
months and five days. and Chief Justice
Story served thirty-three years. nine
months and twenty-five days In six
months. therefore, Justice Field will have
reached one Of these records and in four
teen months he will have overtopped the
other.
1t might be supposed that a man so adj
vanced in years would long ago have put
aside active work. Not so with Justice

1877, when the electoral commission was
organized under the act Of Congress de-
signed to solve the perplexing Hayes-Tilden
controversy, Justice Field was chosen by
the Supreme Court as one Of Its five men,
bers of that tribunal. His convictions lay
with the democratic view, and he was one
of the seven who voted In favor Of the
Tilden electors in Florida, South Carolina
and Louisiana.

Judge Terry's Fate.
Justice Fields personal friendship for Sen
ator Broderick was probably the beginning
Of his celebrated feud with ex-Judge Terry
Of the California supreme court, which cul-
minated in such a tragic manner a few
years ago. In some respects this affair was
a repetition Of Justice Fields trouble with
Judge Turner at the commencement Of his
career in California. The alteration be-
tween them was intensified by the rendition
of certain decisions by Justice Field which
Judge Terry resented, and threats against
Fields life were finally made by Terry and
his friends. AS he was no longer young
man. his lameness having increased to
cripple him to a very large degree Justice
Field felt less confidence in his own re-
sources, and while on a visit to California
about five years ago he arranged for a
deputy marshal to accompany him while on
the circuit, in order to serve as a bodyguard
against the violence that was continually
threatened. One day while Justice Field
was eating in railway dining room Judge
Terry entered and fired a shot at Field. The
deputy thereupon fired and killed Terry.
