During litigation over a contested

duel. Judge Field accepted. Then
Judge Barbour objected first to the
bowie knives, and, second, to fighting
in a room. A meeting was arranged
in the woods, and Judge Barbour
backed out. He was %lampooned in the
newspapers, and n morning when
Judge Field was getting kindling wood
in front of his office Judge Barbour
ran up behind him, capped a pistol
TO his head and said:
Draw and defend YOURSELF
you cowardly assassin exclaimed
the kneeling man, without moving.
"You do not dare to shoot. | defy
you"
Judge Barbour walked away, while
the crowd hooted.
Dozens of times Judge Field looked
down the muzzles of cooked reyolvers.
| He was never known to finch. A less
courageous man would have Deer kill
ed early in the game. He absolutely
did not know what fear was, and the
stories Of his honesty and bravery that
spread over the state elected him
Judge of the supreme court in 1857 by
twenty thouand majority.
Judge Field was a Democrat. When
the war broke out he, with others, de-
ciGed to keep California in the Union.
The secessionists were sure OF Cali
fornia. General Albert Sidney John
ston was in command CT the United
States troops in California, and his
disloyalty was suspected. The Union
lists felt that he was in collision with
the secessionists, who would seize the
fortress OF Alcatraz, which would place
San Francisco at their mercy. Sew
enty-five thousand muskets were stored
at Benicia, and if these fell into the
hands of the secessionists California
would be lost.
The Unionists organized a secret
Union League. Judge Field was the
fifth member to be enrolled. Arms
were bought and companies were or
ganized. Meetings on behalf Of the
Union were held in the theaters. and
the fires of patriotism burned brightly
at the Golden Gate. Couriers overland
carried the news to President Lincoln
and he was finally advised to super
sede General Johnston. This he die
by sending General Sumner secretly t.
relieve him of the command. Genera
Sumner took command. The arms a
Benicia were safe, and California re
manned a loyal state.
For Judge Fields servic, to the Tn
ion he was made a United States su

For nearly a dozen years ambitious
lawyers who desired to get to the SUI

that he had reached the age when he
could ask to be retired. "If Justice

was in 1889, when an at
tempt was made on his life
by Judge David S. Terry and his wife.
Judge Terry was counsel for Sarah
Althea Hill, who claimed to be the
wife of Senator Sharon, and sought
to establish a claim to his millions
by means of a divorce. Field and Ter
~ had known each other in the West.
During the divorce proceedings the
Hill woman had married Judge Terry.
The case was carried up, and finally
came before Justice Field. He deliv-
cred a decision adverse to Mrs. Hill,
and Judge Terry arose in court and de-
nounced the judge. He attempted to
assault him, as did also his wife, but
they were o~verpowered and disarmed.
The judge had a dirk and his wife a
revolver. He sentenced Terry to three
months in Jail and Mrs. Hill to one
month.
When he came out of Jail Judge Ter
ry again threatened to take the life
of Justice Field. When Justice Field
visited California Deputy Marshal Ma
gle was ordered to travel with the
judge and protect him. At the waiting
station at Lathrop Judge Terry as
saulted Justice Field, and Maggie shot
him dead. Terry's wife then rushed
in with a pistol, and had to be dis
armed.

MONSTER HAWSERS.
Big hopes Used in the Navy for
Cables and Towing Heavy
Vessels.

The largest cable of modern times Is
the MANILA hawser which was sued to
tow the drydock to Havana. 1t is %
inches in circumference, but it is by no
means the largest that ever has been
made, although it has the reputation of
breaking the record.
There are at least two others OF a
greater circumference, but both older.
One of these had a circumference of %
inches, and was used for the purpose of
anchoring the ship North Carolina in
the navy yard at Brooklyn, while the
other was a 24-inch hawser, which was
used as a sheet anchor cable on the Ten
nessee, when she was stationed in the
Mediterranean in the '60s.
Such an enormous rope was naturally
found to be unwieldy, a fact which was
a~bundantly demonstrated when the
vessel encountered a storm in the Bay
of Naples. When the Tennessee re-
turned to her native home in America
the hawser was sent to the oakum mills
and made into oakum.

SHIPPING FISH ALIVE.
A New and Simple Danish Method for
Delivering Finny Food
Far Inland.

A new method of transportation for
live fish from seaports into the interior
has just been patented by a Danish fish
dealer of Copenhagen, and the system
is so simple and yet so perfect that one
wonders why it has never been thought
of before, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The inventor had a number of
large bags made of waterproof mate
rial, strong oilcloth appearing to give
the best results. These bags, after be-
ing filed with water and the fish to be
sent inland, are laced at the top and
either suspended in the ears from HOOKS
in the roof of the car or from folding
frames taking almost no space and al
lowing the close hanging Of these bags,
so that there is but little movement be-
tween the bags. They may also be set
upright alongside each other, but sus-
pension has been found to be prefer
able, particularly for long distances.
Several transports of fish made over
long distances have shown the splendid
features of the new system, for the fish
arrived in excellent condition after a
16-hour ride.
