SHADE FIELDS, SLAYER
OF THE WARD BROTHERS,
ACQUITTED IN CANYON co.

Shade FIELDS, the camp tender, who
interviewed in a quarrel between his
fellow employee, w. H. Palmer, and
the two brothers, Edward and Way
man Ward, cattlemen, and shot them
both, in Long valley last fall, was
set free by decision of the jury, Sat-
urday morning, April s. Inasmuch
as Palmer was endangered, and there
was insufficient evidence to prove
the shooting was not in defense of
his life, Judge Davis granted the
motion of Prosecutor Rhodes, of
Boise county. and Frawley and
Koelsch, associate counsel for the
prosecution, that the charge of MUIR
der against Fields be dismissed. This
was after a very hard fought legal
battle and the Long Valley people
are rather bitterly aroused over the
matter. The Times, of VanWyck,
says:
"And another act in the murder
of two Long Vale. ranchers is clos
ed. The trial of Shade Fields has
been closely watched by the people
of Long valley. They have come to
the conclusion that the sheep associa-
ton, a combination that represents
have determined that man
employed by them is immune, what
ever he may commit, and that in
every case they will back him by
every means in their power"

SAME BULL RING AGAIN

A little crowd of fellows out at
Presto have joined the movies and
have performances more or less regu-
larly at q certain corral said to be at
the Vaughn ranch. We mentioned
week or two aoo that a certain bo-
vine takes part when the curtain
rises, and once he dumped his rider
known as Geek" In the last per-
Torrance of which we have report,
]. D.. Murphey rode the critter and
did it with a surcingle instead of a
saddle.
A bulls back is round and smooth
anyway and Murphey bobbed around
when the bull hurried; and by the
way, that bull hurried as soon as Mr..
Murphey lit on him. He, the bull,
did several things; SO did Murphey.
Spectators say that Murphey was
very much engaged, and that If any
thing he did more things than did
the animal, and the critter did every
thing he could think of and some
things perhaps without thinking.
Murphey matched him in that too,
for when he slipped forward he

under him, Murphey seemed to in
voluntarily clutch at the ribs, but
there was nothing doing; he failed
to get holt. He felt Of the bulls
back thoroly from stem to stern and
landed in the wake of the critter
