Surnames: Field, Ward Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/3397 Message Board Post: Payette Enterprise Payette, Idaho Thursday, May 4, 1916 DEATH OF SHADE FIELD Shade field, the sheep camp tender who shot and killed Edward and Wayman Ward near Donnelly, Idaho last September, and who was latter acquitted of the murder of Edward Ward at his trial in Canyon county, on the ground of self-defense died in a hospital at Weiser on Tuesday morning following an operation for intestinal trouble. Field had been ill for several days at a sheep camp where he was working and was brought to Weiser for treatment. Field was tried in Canyon county for the killing of Edward Ward, change of venue from Boise county having been obtained. After a long and bitterly contested trial the jury found him not guilty. Later the complaint against him for the shooting of Wayman Ward was dismissed, the evidence in both cases being practically identical.
