Justice Fields Nerve.
Some of the most interesting stories in
Judge Fields recollections will relate to
these early California days. For years he
was in danger of his life. He had many
enemies and he was a fighter from the be-
ginning At enc time a man named Judge
Turner swore he would drive Field into the
Yuba river. Field was advised to buy
shotgun and kill Turner on sight. He re-
piled, however, that he would not do that,
and that he could only act in self-defense.
He bought, however. couple of revolvers
ard practiced firing at a mark by shooting
through his clothes, holding the pistol in
MS pocket He says that he soon acquired
considerable skill, and was able to hit a
small object across the street. He thinks
he could have hit a man easily and could
have killed at almost every shot. He then
sent warning to Turner. saying that he
would not avoid him nor would he seek any
collision with him. but that if he dared to
attack him or came near him in threat
ening manner he would kill him. Judge
turner, upon learning of Mr.. Fields skill
with a revolver, did not seek to carry out
his threats. He was justice of the court,
however, and he disbarred Field from
practice. Shortly after this Justice Field
was elected to the legislature. Here he
was in sucn danger that he had to have
his pistols always at hand in the drawer
of his desk in the legislative hall He also
practiced in courts where every lawyer
Carried pistol or a bowie knife, and was
once challenged by judge to fight a duel.
He accepted the challenge, and as he had
the choice of weapons, stated that the
fight should be held in room twenty feet
square, each man TO have a Colts revolver
and bowie knife. The two principals
We're to use the reyolvers first and then the

duel was off 1 could give a dozen more
stories of similar kind covering Judge
Fields career up until 1858, when Presi-
dent Lincoln appointed him to his place on
the Supreme bench.
Justice Fields Successor.
1t Is generally thought that Justice
Fields successor has already been chosen.
and that the future judge will probably
be the present Attorney General. Joseph
NckenEa. Judge McKenna and President
Mckinley have been intimate for years.
They served together in the House of
Representatives, and 1t was stated at the
time of McKenna's acceptance of the at
torney generalship that the President
meant to promote him to the Supreme
bench in case vacancy occurred during
the next four years. Attorney General Nc
