Mr. John I Phelps, who lives near

tunate In securing a horse In the city
this morning which had been stolen
from his stables during the night. Ha
did not know his horse had been stolen
until he went out to feed his stock
this morning. After making a thorough
search of his premises he came on to
this city, where he found his horse
in the yard of a livery stable. It Is
supposed that the horse was stolen
for the purpose of a ride to town and
was then turned loose at the livery
stable.

Macfinight's Case and the
Moore County Plwsicians
Southern Pines. X. CL.
Oct. rath, 1302.
To the Editor of The Tost:
For over a year Dr. Harry P. Mae
KrJgbt. late of Hlgh Point, now of
Southern Fines, has 'disturbed the se
renity of the medical fraternity, occu
pied the Judiciary, been a godsend to
the itms and a delight to the souls
of our scandal-loving citizens. The
decalogue has suffered Irreparable In
jury at his hands, so rumor says, and
the devil could hare no better repre
sentative on earth. If these rumors be
true, his traducers finally bringing a
.Charge of murder to his door.
The first scene in the drama open
;at High Point, where It wlll .be re
tmesnbered that Dr. MacKnight estab
lished a college for Instruction In Os
teopathy and occult sciences, having
for hi ultimate object the cure of dis
eases without the use of drugs or sur
rery. The Ml D.'s objected and the band
began to play. The ringmaster pro
. claimed Immoral conduct on the part
(cf one of Dr. MacKnight's female pu
iplls. To prove her Innocence sh sub
trJtted to an examination and Drs.lt
'K. Gregory and J. P. Turner of Greens-
Vro pronounced her a virgin. The
lady then prosecuted her accusers for
criminal libel, Mr. MacKnight appear
In: as a state's witness to establish
art alibi la her fcshalf.
To prejudico the minds of the Jury
the defence In this case proceeded to
develop Dr. Ma-Knlxhts so-called past
record. They prolueed a photograph
purporting to come from the rogue's
gallery of the Oilo penitentiary at Co
Iambus, and which bore across the
brean a placard bearing the number
I3.U4. They then proceeded to assert
that this haggard, emaciated, stoop
shouldered, care-wcrn. plttlful speci

neasured only five feet and six Inches
and welshed only lti pounds, was the
presentment In miniature of the sleek,
wtll-fcl. generously proportioned "Dr.
MacKnight" who measures five feet
elf tt Inche- an! a quarter In his stock
ing and weighs I$S pounds stripped.
As the Bertilllon method Is In use In
Ohio, and was at that time, there can

at fh time of his Incarceration. The
Koctor pleads Zt as his present age.
I The fact that some of these state
ments appeared In the Morning Post
let Jary . lot. u our reason for gtv
;tg la detail the doctor's side of ths
.story. Belierlrg that the Post would
rv .Jrry condemn a man unheard.

But this la nt n
M, . - - k V MS
dence a letter from Warden Wm. K.
Darley of the Ohio penitentiary at Co-
Iambus. Ohio, bearing date of January j
in mi n ir:e waruen says
that he never heard of Dr. MacKnight
previous to the doctor's letter to him.
The warden further says that he never
talked or wrote concerning Dr. Mac
Knight to any person whatever, nor
did he authorize any one to proclaim
any photograph as coming from him
purporting to be the doctor. The war
den, says that in December, l&SS, one
Hiram McKnlght was received at the
penltenlary. This being his first ap
pearance there, the photograph and
measurements above mentioned would
then be taken. Hence Hiram Mc
Knlght would, therefore, be fifty-five
yenrs old at the present date, or near
ly twenty years the doctor's senior.
Hiram McKnight was pardoned by
Gov. Bushnell in 1S97. November 10th.
Now. let's see if the doctor can es
tablish an alibi, and further relievo
hlcnself of the convict's stripes:
Oliver D. "Walkers, secretary undT
seal of the college, certifies that Harry
P. MacKnight was, in 1S?0. graduated
from the College of Physicians and
Curseons of Keokuk, Iowa, after hav
ing pursued a full four years' course,
the doctor having registered from the
state of Nebraska. Under date of Jan
uary II. 1302. with seal attched. Dr.
X. LaMatte Sage, president of the New
Tork Institute of Science, located at
Rochester, certifies that In IS?6 Harry
P. MacKr.ljM was graduated from
that Institution after a one year course
of study.
The scene now shifts and the actors
change. Dr. MacKnight moves to
Southern Pines. II advertises to treat
diseases, acute and chronic without
medicine or surgery.. Fatlents. came
his way. The local physicians became ;
being a duly qualified doctor of osteo
pathy, they cursed him as a "fraud.
They then tried the case in Superior
court; the Judge found him "not guil
ty." '-. "t . .,
Then they cursed the Judge as Han
old fool," . and '"crazy."
Then, by' permission . of llacKnlght,
and not otherwise they appealed the
case to the Supreme court, and that
court, all fire Judges belnff unanimous
In the decision, said the lower courts
were right. Again Judgment of "not
guilty." Now they , heap their curses
of condemnation - upon Justice Clark
and say he was ' "hypnotised or out
witted," because he was the asso
ciate Justice selected by the court to
write their opinion. It seems to be a
case of "curse 'em," any way we find
it.
When these doctors of pills and pow
ders will set themselves up to Judge
and "condemn the Jurists of our courts
of law, it is a clear demonstration of
their willingness to not only transgress
our rights, but their inability to not
only Judge the law, but to Judge of
our competency to practice osteopathy.
Their willingness to rob the sick, and
us, of our most sacred rights, is only
exceeded by their impudence in en
croachlng anarchlstlcally upon .the
highest branch of our Judicial power.
one of the best and soundest courts in
America.
Now, I will make this proposition:
Appoint a committee of one allopath,
one homeopath and one osteopath phy
sician. Let this committee select two
patients, men, or women, with marked
and decisive cases of tuberculosis, not
less than 18. nor. more than 35 years
old, not .in the last stage, and assign
one to me, and one to the entire medi
cal fraternity of Moore county, for
treatment, free of charge, for six
months. If at this time there can be
found any of the bacillll of tuberculosis
In the sputum of my patient. I will for
felt $100 for the use of the poor. If
there be any in the sputum of their
patient at the same time they forfeit
the same, on same terms. If my pa
tient e found well, all I ask is for him
or her to go on their way rejoicing.
Mr. Editor, if my treatment Is what
I claim it is, the people ought to know
It. if it Is not. they ought to, know
that.
Here is my proposition, it is fair:
let the medicos put up or shut up.

I have known A. Winestlne, referred

he applied to Dr. MacKnight for treat
mcnt.
Winestlne published In the Southern
Pines Bulletin ' of date on or about
March 28, 1902, the statement that h
had greatly improved under "Dr. "Mac
Knight's treatment." This item was
given me by Winestlne himself, in his
own handwriting.
On or about June 1. he removed to
Durham. N. C, where he became In

his physical and mental disabilities. Be

For three yearg after my mar
riage I felt peculiar bearing-down
pains such a3 I. had never expe- .
rienced before. I tried different
remedies but found it w&3 only
" money wasted. I then consulted
a physician who treated, uie for
. two months and then said my
oraHes were diseased and that I
. would never get well unless 1 had
an operation. I knew that would
mean that I .would never have a
child and I dreaded "the ordeal. '
I changed physicians but found .
this did not help me any, and I
" was in despair.

rouble she said: Jf you had
used common sense and Wine of
Cardui you would not have been
in such a plight." She had used
it in her own home and it had
carried her through three times
when she had children. I sent
for some at once and took it faith
ful ly and now find to my great joy
that it was all she claimed for it.
New strength and with it new
hope came back to me and it seemed as if every dose gave me new life.
Within three months I was changed from a dragged-out mortal weary
of life to a hearty, healthy woman full of ambition and life. No opera
tion was needed and better than all I became the mother of a little girl
