A DlHpntc Hotwceu Physicians HH To Where They Shall Practice. ST. JOSBMI , Mo. , Oct. 14. [ Special Tolo- grum to the BKU. ] There was argued before Judge Spencer , of the circuit court , to-day the most novel suit ever brought in the state of Missouri. Last Saturday Dr. Moses Mar shall , a prominent physician living in Euston , filed papers enjoining Dr. G. U. Campbell from practicing In a prescribed territory. The facts In the case which led to the suit arc as follows : About four years ago Dr. Campbell , n resident of New York , after graduating In an eastern medical college , moved to the llttlo town of Easton , this county , and engaged In the practice of medl- clno. In a short time he had built up an cx- tenslvo nndJucrativo practice second to no physician In the county. For some reason ho decided to move to Kansas and at once agreed that if Dr. Mosca Marshall , also a recent col lege graduate , who was then practicing in this cit5" , would buy his property nnd pay him a bonus for his practice , ho would sign an agreement binding himself noverto return to Huclmnan county again to follow his pro fession. Dr. Marshall , who had lately mar ried in Eastou , upon the earnest solicitation of his wife and father-in-law agreed , the property was bought , the bonus paid and the agreement signed and Dr. Campbell moved away. About ono mouth ago Dr. Campbell returned and the plaintiff in his petition avers that he is trying to regain his old practice. To day the case was called Up and the tem porary injunction was tried and sustained and the case will bo called up November 4 on its merits. All the physicians in the city were present nnd nothing could bo heard in the court room but "Our cede of ethics , " "Professional courtesy , " and similar ex pressions , on which that profession seems to have a corner. The case is the only ouo on record where ono physician seeks to pro scribe by law the territory in which another shall practice. TIIK HALF NOT TOM > .

The deputy arrived there on the night train , and procuring the services of Constable Dillon , they proceeded to the house occupied by Arndt , to arrest him and take him to Wilbor to-day. They knocked on the door and he did not respond to their call. They finally broke in the bouse , knowing that he was there. Constable Dillon hud no sooner entered than ho received a revolver shot through the hand. As soon us the dep uty sheriff heard the firing of the revolver , he took leg bail for security. Mr. Dillon was unprepared for such a reception and was not armed. Arndt bad possession of the foit and proposed to hold it. Dillon secured a posse of citizens and proposed to tnko Arndt at all hazards. Two men armed with shot guns told him to surrender , and his reply wua a shot from his revolver. As ho raised his revolver to shoot again one of the men shot his hand and one of his fingers so that bo dropped the revolver , but picked it up with his loft and fired awuy again. After a while ho got the drop ou ono of the men aguin and once moro a man with a shot gun told him to drop it , but ho did not until ho wus shot in the arm. That dazed him for an in stant when the man rushed in and took his revolver from him and took him to the cooler , where be now is. Arndt fired ten shots from his revolver. He had a box of cart ridges with him. The house where the shoot ing took place looks like a deserted fort. The doors und windows nro all broken in.

Both men were lying with their faces on the ground and there was much conjecture as to their Iden tity until the arrival of the marshal , who changed their positions BO that their features could bo seen , and then Rico was positively identified by those who worked with him on the grades near the city. No ono Hoomed to know the other man until a parly claiming to bo hib brothor-in-law said his name was William Wickmeyor and his homo was in Corning , la. The previous residence of Rico waa not known , but some claimed ho wua from DCS Moines , la. The body of Wickmeyor was the most mutilated , the scalp and crown of his head being torn oil and his brains protruding from the aperture. Both of his legs were alho broken near the ankles. Rico's body was free from injuries and it ap peared that he died solely from the ef fects of a crushed skull. Nobody saw the accident except the engineer and fireman. The former said he saw the two men when the engine was about ten feet distant and tried to stop , but could not until they were struck and his train had passed thorn about thirty feet. ' When he. went back Wickmeyor was dead and Rico , though still breathing , expired in iv few mo ments. Rico hud been in the city about six mohtns , having been employed as a laborer on several of the public works. Wickmeyor hud been working in Fowler's packing house up to Thursday , when ho quit and secured employment on one of ilie street car lines in Omaha and was going out to get his money from Fowler's when killed. ' The coroner was notified and was taken to the scene of the accident on a special engine , and on examining the bodies ho found letters proving the identity of the dead men. A jury was impanelled and after the remains had buon viewed they were placed on the engine and brought to Seventeenth street , where they were taken in a wagon and conveyed to the morgue. The in quest will take place at tlio coroner's office at 10 o'clock this morning. A FATAh ACCIDENT. A AVninnii Horribly Burned by a Gaso line Stove Kxplosioii. A frightful accident occurred at the residence of M. S. Jaflio , in the rooms above the Golden Rule Bazaar , corner of Sixteenth and Webster streets , about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The family had just eaten break fast and had all loft the din ing room but Mrs. Jaflio. Her hus band , Vho was fooling indisposed , had * not risen 3'et , nnd was lying in bed in an adjoining room. Mrs. Jaflio , turning off the flro in the gasoline fatoyo , pro ceeded to fill the rcsorvoir with this treacherous fluid. There was not a par ticle of fire about the premises , but tlio btovo was btill hot from the breakfast cooking , and Mrs. Jalllo had filled the basin about half full of gasoline , when there was wasA A TKHUIVC EXPLOSION , nnd in the flash of an eye the unfortu nate woman's clothing was saturated with the flaming fluid. So grout was the force of the explo sion that the window in the front room facing the street was blown out , and tlio crash attracted several parties on tlio opposite sidewalk , among thorn Chief Gulligun of the lire department , who ran across and up into the building. With A I'IKKCINO SI1UIKK Mrs. Jufflo ran out of the dining room into the hallway , where she was mot by Drs. Vance and Smith and Chief Galh- gan. The two former , at the risk ol a serious burning , began to tear the woman's llaming garments from her person , while Chief Giillignn rushed into the Jaflio apartments and gathering up an armful of the bud cloth ing from the bed in which Mr. Jalllo lay ho darted back with them to the woman's aid. lie was closely followed by the husband , who , in his horror , throw his arms about his \yifo and for a. moment retarded the efforts of the others from oxtingui.sh'ing the woman's blazing garments' . Jatllo's night dross waa in Humes in nn instant , and his Jaco and hands were horribly burned. As Galligan and Dr. Vance wrapped the lied clothing about Mrs. Jtillie , Dr. Smith assisted the husband in divesting himself of his burning night dress. In a moment raoro and the fearful scene was over. Mra. Jaflio was curried into her room and laid upon the bed , and everything possible done to alleviate her excruciating agony. Her limbs and entire body were burned black , and in many places the flesh was L1TERALTA IIIIOILKD. The doctor fears shots fatally burned , although she was not burned about the face nor did she inhale the flames. While she may recover , the chances are against her. Mr. Jallio escaped with a coublo of badly burnt hands and n scorched back. The fire department promptly responded to the alarm that was turned in , but there wns no need ol f its services. Wllih 1'UOBAlUiV DIK. nicAndrcw'a "Wound Thought to bo KMnl. McAndrow the bartender for Sandy McICnight who was shot by Charles Knox , will probably dio. Yesterday morning the family physician was summoned and a thorough examin ation revealed that his hurt was of the most alarming character , and would in : ill probablity result in death. Internal licmorrngo and blood jKiis-oning are both apprehended. The ball was carefully | irobed for , hut not found. It made a nigged hole in the left chest , and peno- Irated , it is feared , the upper lobe of the lung. With the best of care and nurs ing the doctor thought that MoAndrow might possibly bo carried through all right , but tlio result was extremely [ irohlomutlcul. Owing to his condition , the preliminary hearing of Knox , the murderous mulatto , was > continued until next Tuesday morning. This is the second fright ful fight Unit has occurred in McKnight's Hiiloou within forty-eight liours. Wednesday night Robert Dnl- Lon , n stranger , was benton in a brutal manner with n seltzer water bottle in Lho hands of Krough , another of Mc- Knight's burly bartenders. The police say it is ono of the toughest ranches in in the city. Charged With Attempt to Kill. A couple of days ago Charles Ander son and Gustof Norolius , two workmen in Johnson's brick yard near Prospect Hill cemetery , got into a row , and An derson struck Norolius several times with fragments of bricks. None of the wounds at the time were thought to bo serious , but yesterday it was discovered lhat Norolius' skull was fractured and that ho was in a critical condition. A warrant was thereupon issued for An derson's arrest , charging him with as sault with intent to kill. It was served by Constable John Hawkinson yester day , and Anderson was taken into cus tody to await the result of .Norelius' in juries. _ A Brnkcmnn Itadly Hurt. It was reported at the Union Pacific depot last evening that a brakeman had boon run over by the cars at Central City and lost both legs. At 8:30 : the wounded man was brought in , nnd proved to bo Jerome Lorotz. Ho was taken to St. Joseph's hospital , where it was discovered that only ono leg was injured , and it fortunately would not need amputation. The injured member has a terrible wound below the knee _ and the bone is broken. The left leg is only slightly bruised. a Fliijjcr. H. R. Hunt , n switchman , who had his hand smashed while coupling cars on the 7th , had to have ono of his fing ers amputated yesterday. Dr. Leo , who had the case in charge had hoped to save the hand intact , but gangrene set in and the finger had to bo amputated to save his lifo. WHEN GOULD WAS POOR. How He Lost llin Tannery Thirty Years ARO. The news that the Western Union Telegraph company has swallowed up the Baltimore & Ohio organization , and the fact that Jay Gould is the head and front of the latter company recall to peonlo hero the time , less than thirty years ago , writes a Wilkesbarro , Pa. , corresyondent , when Jay Gould was a bankrupt and practically penniless neighbor. Stanley Woodward , addi tional law judge of the courts of this county , was the receiver of the firm of which Jay Gould was a junior member , and which for some years prior to 1801 had a tannery nt Gouldsboro , in Buck township , then in this county , but now in Liackawanna county. The neigh borhood was primitive at that time , a little clearing surrounded by dense for ests , and it is Btill prolty much the same. Zadoc Pratt , a well known tanner in Now York , sent Gould there. The tannery was located about six miles dis tant from Gouldsboro station and the hides were hauled to and the leather from the tannery over a plank road built for the purpose. Loupp , Lee & Co. were importers of hides in Now York. They brought largo quantities of hides from Buenos Ayres and sent them to Gouldsboro to bo tanned , and Jay Gould superintended the process and kept the accounts. For a time the affaire of the partnership moved along swimmingly. Then the partners quarrelled and in a little time the dispute became very bit- tor. tor.Actual Actual war followed. Leo organized a force of daring men and marched upon the tannery. Gould had also or ganized a force and hold the tannery , which ho had strongly barricaded in an ticipation of the attack. Leo demanded capitulation. Gould refused. A hot conflict ensued , in whfch notonly sticks and stones , but rifles and bullets were used. But Gould held possession. Sub sequently all were arrested. Then pro ceedings were begun on the equity side of the court for a dissolution of the partnership. Loupp , Lee & Co. wore ropresontated in the suit by Evarts , Southmayd & Choato , the head of the firm being the present United States senator from Now Yoek. Gould's at torneys were Messrs. McClintock & Nicholson , of this city. It is remembered that in these pro ceedings Gould gave many evidence of his remarkable powers of intuition , rapidity of thought und promptitude in action for which ho luui since become famous. As in all equity proceedings , many affidavits t * to particular matters were constantly being reqircd , and Gould would sit at the table listening to tlio lawyers on both sides discussing the necessity or iion-nocossity for an uflidavit , nnd by the lime the court had decreed that it should or could bo made it would be ready in Gould's own hand writing. Ho would gather an under standing of what was wanted from the speeches and proceed immediately to the making of it. Ho wrotg u good , clear hand , and very nipidly. Judge Woodward says lie cannot recall any other insiu'0 ; of equal quickness and JijitUudo on the part of a client. As a result of the suit a dissolution of the firm was dooreod by the court and Judge Woodward , then a young lawyer , glad enough of such n windfall , was ap pointed recoiuca. Ho took possession of the tannery , from which , however , nearly everything of vnluo removed. There was about $ 'J,000 on credits , nnd the tannery , tools , stock , horses , mules , and personal property generally amounted to about $7,000 more. The re ceivership continued through several years before all the tangled accounts oould bo straightened out. What re mained at the settlement went to Loupp , Leo & Co. , Gould's debits amounting to moro than his Bhnro of the proceeds. Ho was a bank rupt nnd the best evidence that such was the case is the fuc. lhat before leaving , which he did soon after the re ceiver was appointed , ho borrowed J. Lawis Simmons , or "Lew , " as ho is familiarly called , the keeper of the lit tle hotel at Gouldsboro station , to help his expenses back to Now York , immons is there yet , and the $5 is still owing , though , of course , the great speculator has forgotten the debt or he would have returned it long ago with irttorest. The next his acquaintances hoard of Gould , was that ho had boon mndo su perintendent of a railroad in Vermont. A little lalor ho was president of Iho road. His career since is public prop erty. Years afterwards Judge Woodward mot Gould at Saratoga. They recognized - nizod each other. Gould told Wood ward , In answer to the latter's question that his stewardship had boon well per formed. "Then , " said the judge , joeoioly , "I hnvo only this to ask , lhat if you should over need a receiver again you well re member the fnut and give mo the place. " Gould answered with a stnilo eloquent of his conviction that ho was not at nil likely over again to bo nt the itiorey of. a receiver , and it is probably safe enough to assume that ho will at least never bo reduced to the necessity of borrowing-ri to pay his railroad fare on a journey in search of a job. It was but twenty-six years ago that those things happened , nnd the fact that in that short time ho has climbed from such dire straits to the possession of millions and the place of dictator of practically all the country is almost as marvellous as the wildest recitals of the writers of fiction. "PRINCE 0 ? THTJVES. " nig .11 in IturiiH , AVho IMaiuiejl nit In- ' KCiilons Uobbcry in Philadelphia. Philadelphia News : Tlio death of the notbrious sneak James Burns , in Ham burg , some days since , recalls the slory of one of his boldest plans , which wan laid against the great banking house of Drexel it Co. , in this city , at the limit when their olllco was at 81 South Tliird street. In the old building the bonds wcrx > ' kept during the day in a wooden'drawer which was only about .wolvo inches from any ono standing in front of the counter , which was of wood. "It was proposed to wait until after noon , when tlio valuables had all been removed and the women were scrubbing' the offices. Ono of the "sneaks" waa then to enter as if to write a note in u hurry ; ho would be followed by others , ' ono of whom , while apparently leaning against tlio counter , was to cut u hole eight inches in diameter directly opposite - . t site the cud of the drawer , and through the drawer itself. This would take not more than live minutes , and traces of ' the cutting could be covofed up in no , ' time by means ol walnut putty. The next day , when the bonds were put back into the drawer , one member of the gang was to engage tlio attention of the clerk , while another would pusli through the detached picuoundercover of a largo cloak , and secure a handful of bonds. Burns was foiled in his attempt by the fact that just as ho perfected the scheme ho was arrested , and before lie regained his liberty the bank had moved. He was baffled in another scheme in 1877 by mere luck. He and Horace Horan , ftlias "Little Horace , " had fol- lowejl a messenger to the Western Savings bank at Tenth and Walnut streets , and wore ju t about to sui/.e the lioiuls when they were scared elY by the entrance of a customer. Burns , or "Big Jim , ' ' as ho was famil iarly called , was bora in BoMon , Mass. , in 1810. His liberality to his pals gave him the title of "the prince of thieves , " and it is a well known fact that when any of his associates were in trouble ho contributed largely to support their wives and children. Ho had served terms in Sing Sing , New York and Boston , and had an international repu tation. Ho escaped from Raymond street jail in Brooklyn on Friday , July ill , 1883 , and since that time ho has been in Europe. His last enterprise was the robbery of the Voroins bank in Hnin- burg on July 22,1883. He succeeded in getting about $14,000. Ho was the man who originated the "sneak" method in the robbery of banks , the most daring of all the schemes by which n bank is "worked. " His associates in the in vention of this method are now reputa ble merchants , and have deserted their evil ways forever.
