DR. ZORN STOPS A FIGHT.
Man in His Employ and Veteran of
70 the Principals.
When Sergeant Jeremiah Caskey was passing the home of Dr. Louis Zorn, Ninth street and Prospect avenue, yesterday afternoon, he met Dr. Zorn, whose clothes were bespattered with blood. The doctor told him he had just interceded in a fight between J. W. Smith and ex-Confederate veteran, 70 years old, and a German named Paul P. Gorkey, employed by Dr. Zorn. Caskey went to the back yard of Zorn's home and found the two men in angry dispute. Smith had ben struck on the head with a pitchfork handle, laying open the scalp in two places. To prevent further trouble, Caskey arrested Smith. He was treated at the emergency hospital and taken to the holdover.
