ORIGIN or THE DISPUTE.
Ivaricus stories are toli as to the oc-
ksIon which led to the dispute and suhse-

bat dIspleased him he had pulled the LADS
lar and called him "a puppy"
The lad then left his employ. ana went to
kork for Dr. Moore in n similar capacity.

Mans exceedingly angry and evidently the
ions were much wrought up over the nut
ftr.

bet the doctor on the street In front OF

heated discussion occurred between tile
barties. though the language was not heard
by them. II Is said that one of the young
h men struck the doctor and that he struck
