A VILLAINOUS DIAGNOSIS.
A Victim of Conjugal and Pro-
 fessional DupIicity.
Hermann Scholz Falsely Accused of
 to the Arid Air of Arizona.

sensational, curious and serious domestic complication which seems tc affect nobody but doctors has made its appearance at the surface.
 Three days ago there arrived in Phe nix Hermann Scholz, of San Francisco, said to be student of the California Medical institute. His wife is a prsc- tlcing physician in San Francisco. A certain Dr. Tulcher, whose card MT. Scholz carries next his heart, is also 8 physician ct 30l Grand avenue.
 While MT. Scholz was in the hey-dev of his pursuit after medical informa- tion, the requirement of which would place him on level with his wife while he was dreaming of the time to come when he could expose a sign bearing the legend, "Scho!z & Scholz, Physicians and Surgeons, office hours, etc. ;" while he was in the height of health his wife while rummaging around in his system, discovered an in cipient case of tuberculosis. Her dis coverv was pronounced genuine by Dr.. Tulcher, and Scholsz was advised by the disinterested Dr. Tulcher and his affectionate and professional wife to forsake the moist vicinity of San Fran CISCO for the arid and tuberculosis dis couraging proximity of Arizona. This was Scholz's first intimation that con- sumption was reaching out after him, and he was scared, as 1t became him to be.
 He came to Arizona three months ago. and visited successiveIy Tucson, Tom bstone and other germ destroying points. He got no worse and neither did he get any better, for the reason that his health was in state of perfec- tion not susceptible to improvement.
 He received regular installments of medicine and good advice from San Francisco, and took both in regularly prescribed doses. When he ar rived in Phoenix, he presented lead ing business firm here a letter of introduction from prominent business man i'll San Francisco.
 MT. Scholtz unbosomed himself to the addressee and certainly no man was in more urgent need of a conidant. He had just received letter from his wife urging him to divide his time searching for health with looking around for another wife; she was done with him and was about to begin action for divorce on the ground of desertion.
 Whatever faith MT. Scholtz had had in the diagnosis of his case by his wife and Dr. Tulcher was now destroyed. He saw in it only deep laid and pro- fessonal scheme to get rid of him.
 "Vot shall I do init i'm" asked Mir. Schotz of him new found acquaintance, referring of course to the designing doctor.
 "Id shoot him." was the reply.
 sfI will shoot i'm so helup me Gott will go to San Francisco immediately"
 Shooting is too good for & man who would take such advantage of you; he ought to be hung," said the acluaint ance after second thought.
 Dot is so," agreed MT. Scholz; q will haing i'm; 1 will leave for San Francisco at onca."
 But here an obstacle presented itself. Mr. Scholz was ont of funds. His wife had wisely given him only enough money to fetch him to Arizona; had regularly advanced him enough to meet his current expenses, but had taken precaution that he should never ave accumulated enough to buy ticket back to San Francisco.
 MT. Scholz's conviction of his wife and Dr. Tulcher's wickedness is of course tinctured with suspicion, and it is only step from suspicion to fancy. He imagines that they have tried to poison him by means of the medicine sent to him. Accordingly he wrote yes- terday for another installment of the consumption remedy. He proposes to have it analysed, and if it is found to contain any deleterious substance the last link in the chain of villainy will be discovered to have been forged and Mir. Scholz will govern himself accord ingly.
