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.
