Chicago (IL) Daily Inter-Ocean, May 8, 1893, p. 4. DEATH FOR HIS CHIVALRY Henry Fielder Is Killed While Defending a Woman at Seymour, Indiana Columbus, Indiana, May 7-Special Telegram Lewis Trancks, a cigar maker of this city, today entered the restaurant of the Reim house in Seymour and attacked Mollie Sayers, a cook, and struck her. The woman's screams brought the proprietor, Henry Fielder, to her rescue. He attempted to eject Trancks who pulled a revolver and fired. The ball passed through Fielder's heart and he fell dead. Trancks was arrested later in the afternoon and was placed in jail around which some two thousand people of the place congregated. Fears of lynching were entertained up to a late hour tonight. Nothing but the timely arrival of the sheriff, who conveyed the prisoner under a strong escort to Brownstown jail twelve miles across the country, prevented a lynching. Fielder was a highly respected citizen, aged 58 years.
