THE ASSAULT UPON DR.. SEMPDE.-
Mr.. Morgan called at our Office yesterday and
gave us the following explanation Of the trou-
be between himsslf aud DR.. Sempls:
II went into the drug store and called for
10 cents worth of castor oil the oil was put
into Z vial and l, noticing the quuntity was
quite email, told Mr. Semple thst there was
not 90 much 10 the vial IS Mr. Jacoby was in
the habit Of giving for tnat amount Of money
and that would give five ceuts more and have
the bottle filled. Mr.. Ssnple told me that he
could not fill the bottle for five cents more.
anu furthermore he did not think Mr. JAcoby
had ever filed bottle Of that eise for fifteen
ceuts. told Mr.. Semple that the matter was
too email for me TO lie about MIR. :. asked me
if l said he liedf repeated the remark that
had made. when Mr.. Semple, perhaps misun-
dsretanding me, ordered me TO leave the store.
told Mr.. 5. that l wished more med cine
He then came from behind the counter, and
taking me by the collar, dragged me to the
door and out upon the side walk. Thinking
the attack unjus,ified, I struck Ssnpls With
the bottle and walked off"

esllent reputation for being psaceable, W ell

the last scrspe Of the kind he will ever be
eaught in. He ackn ,wlelges the striking o.
Mr.. Sempls with the bottle was very wrong
but he thinks the Doctor was altogether tc,
hssty in ordering him from the store and drag
ging him ont Oar account Of the matter va
obtained from NJ. Mccullough, who vas 10 the
store ct the time, and who was the principa
witness for the State We really here tha
Hr Morgan will never allow bis name to GO
into the papers again In such . questionable
connection. and We hope, Furthermore that
DR.. Sempls d soovers himself 70 have been il
the vrsng. he will 1t once acknowledge u,
