Judge Field denies sale of estate assets in insolvent case
In the supreme judicial court Justice Field approved a proposed $800,000 sale for the F Shaw Brothers estate but denied the petition since the purchase money could not be paid into the insolvency court. He noted the need to consider how creditors would share the proceeds and warned the matter may require further notice. Parallel insolvency cases include Hechter Bucharest £240,000 loss and multiple New England firms seeking compromises or facing assignments.

Reign of Terror Reported in Calhoun County West Virginia
Reports from Calhoun County describe a reign of terror in the southern mountainous area for nearly two months. A gang led by Ed and Moses Warner is said to be organized with sub lodges, attacking churches, homes, and meetings, injuring many, and committing thefts while resisting authorities. A fatality occurred at a New Year church supper. Six gang members were arrested but escaped during testimony. A separate Bellaire report notes a series of robberies by the same group, including a fatal beating and the theft of $300 and a gold watch, with a $1,000 Wheeling reward for the gang.
