In MorgantoWn--Mill Spring Sem

AanrY, Pa, Oct. 10.-This village
is wrestling with its sensation of
over a decade. Not since thirteen
years ago. when George Swart, an
aged and wealthy farmer, was swim
died out Of $1,000 cash by couple
of green goods men, has Amwell
township had such a sensation as
that occasioned by the arrest of DR..
r. b. South at the fashionable Reed
Carey wedding on last Thursday.
DR.. South, who, for the three years
ending three months ago, was a
a praeticing physician of this sicini-
ty, and who is known TO every fami
~ in the township, has been charged
with illegal practice of medicine by
the Washington County Medical
Association.
The marriage of Jessie, daughter
of Elmus Carey, Of Dunn's Station,
to Rev. Walter b. Reed, occurred
last Thursday. DR. r. B. South is
life long friend of the minister,
and at his request came back TO the
old home To serve as best man.
There was an nnbidden guest at the
marriage, however. When the we'd
ding breakfast was finished, like
skeleton at the feast appeared OH
Ger John Clutter, of Washington,
who had viewed the festivity from
distance, and to the surprise and
CONSERVATION ofall placed Dr. South
under arrest.
The charge against DR. South Is
that he never appeared before the
State Medical board of Pennsylvania
and has no State license. He grad
uated from Baltimore medical col
lege three years ago. 1t is alleged
that the young physician refused 10
comply with the requirements of the
State medical laws, saying he would
test the law. At meeting Of the
Washington County Medical asso
citation held May 18th committee
was appointed to look into the mat
ter, and information was later made
against DR.. South before Justice p.
NJ Donehoo, Of Washington. The
warrant was given to Officer Clutter
who came to Amity to serve it, but
Dir. South had gone 1t is alleged
that he was warned and helped away
by persons known TO those who
moved against South, and other ar
rests are promised.
Early last week the officer heard
that Or. South would be best man at
the wedding Of Rev Mr.. Reed on
Thursday, aud the morning train out
of Washington brought the officer
with his warrant. 1t was the inten-
tion OF Clutter TO arrest South on
sight, but his heart failed when he
saw the elaborate preparations for the
wedding. He arrived an hour before
the ceremony and decided to wait I'M
til the festivities had ended When
the guests We're rising from the table
he entered and placed the physician
under arrest.
DIR. South apologized to the wedding
guests for a little time while he
would be absent from them and went
with the officer A horse and buggy
were secured, aud the officer with his
prisoner drove rapidly to Amity to the
office Of Justice Stephen G. Miller.
South desired to give bail for court,
and bond for $500 was filled out, and
another fast drive brought the couple
to the residence Of Mrs. South, mother
OF the physician, who signed the bond.
DR.. South urged haste, saying he
must not be long away from the we'd
ding festivities.
The physician returned to the Carey
residence after an absence of only
two hours. DIR. South was one OF the
most popular young professional men
ever in the vicinity of Amity. He
was considered one of the best physi-
clans, though but 80 years of age.
His clashes with the County Medical
association, which embOdies go OF the
best known practitioners in the coun-
ty, were very bitter.
1t Is rumored that DR.. South may
produce sensation at his trial. He
may take the ground that he was
given to understand that, owing to
his well-known antagOnism TO the
State medical board, and his pro-
nounced views against q law which he
did not consider binding, he might
hevs some dinncolty Ia securing q
State license from the board had he
