NO SENSATION AT ALL.
But a Gross Injustice to a Respectable
Family.
NO FOUNDATION WHATEVER.
The Story Printed in the Afternoon
Sheets Regarding Trouble in the
Family of DR.. Davis False.
Special to the Globe.


DULUTH, Jan. 30.-The following dis
patch was sent out from Duluth this
afternoon and published in the after
noon papers of st. Paul:
A social scandal of no small proDor
tiOns is finding its way into social circles
here: DIR, Davis, physician here, re-
Gently took into partnership DIR. X. A.
Taylor, young man from Philadelphia.
DR.. Taylor, not being acquainted with
the city, attended to the Office
quite intimate with Mrs. Davis,
so much 50 that he said to a friend:
There is married lady in the city
who IS III love with me-" This friend
knew he meant DR.. Davis wife, and the
story was set in circulation with Mrs.
DaVlS IN the leading role. The story
went the rounds, finally reaching the
ears or Dr. Davis. who Immediately be-
gan an Investigation. Taylor became
appriSed of the facts and has fed to
parts unknown. AS DIR. Davis and his
wife are of high standing socially, the
analr VIII not reflect on them, Taylor
receiving the blame. his record for YER
aclty not being of the best.
The whole thing is false, and has no
foundation except in a jocular remark
OF friends of DIR. Taylor, who errone-
ously presumed on the similarity OF
names and started the absurd rumOrs
regarding DIR. Taylor and Mrs. DR.. &.
W. Davis. Some days ago Mrs. S. Z.
DAVIS, wife of veterinary surgeon. was
outraged by number of men. and
mlslnformed persons confounded the
two doctors of the same name. A
GLOBE reporter visited all parties con-
cerned at midnight and found there was
no shadow of truth in the reports.
There is no happier family in the city
or more highly connected than that Of
DR.. q. W. Davis and wife.
