A Queer Charge.
St. Louis, Aug. 22. Stockbroker Jas.
Campbell, one of the most prominent
figures in St. Louis financial circles,
swore out a warrant yesterday for the
arrest of Fhilip J. Rohan, president and
principal owner of the Rohan boiler
works, charging him with highway rob
bery. Mr. Campbell swears that about
9 o'clock last Friday morning, as he was
walking down town to his office, he met
Rohan and his son in a carriage. He
charges that they jumped from the
vehicle, and the elder Rohan, with a
, pistol in bis hand, told him to get into
the carriage or he would be killed.
Campbell says he complied, and the
three drove to 620 Locust street, where
the Rohans ordered their captive to
hand over $30,000 or have his brains
blown out. Campbell alleges that Rohan
ordered him to go up to his room.
Campbell refused, saying, "L would as
soon be killed here as up there."
Campbell then said he would go up if
Rohan vrould hand over the reyolver to
his son. Rohan did so, and Campbell,
leaping out of the carriage, slammed the
door and ran down Locust street to his
office. Campbell alleges that, as he ran,
Rohan shouted to his son : "Kill him,
kill him." The trouble grew out of a
deal in which Rohan claims to have lost
$200,000. Campbell is one of the heav
iest holders of street railway property in
this city, besides doing a large business
in brokerage, and bis fortune is in the
millions. Rohan controls one of the
largest manufacturing establishments in
the city, and is also very wealthy.

LOST AND FOUND.
A "Remarkable Experience In tbe Life of
an Eminent Lawyer.
One of the most remarkable stories
of loosing and finding is the following:
It seems that a certain eminent En
glish lawyer was on a visit at Minto in
the lifetime of the second earl of that
name, and a day or two before the
hearing of an important case, in which
he had been retained as consul. He
had brought with him a bundle of
papers connected with the suit in ques
tion, and these he took upowith him to
his -bedroom. On the following day
the packet could nowhere be found.
Careful search wg,s, of course, made,
but quite in vain, and eventually the
advocate had to go into court without
it.
Years passed without any tidings of
the missing bundle, till the gentleman
chanced to be once more a guest at
Minto, and occupying the same bed
room. The morning after his ar
rival he awoke to see the long-lost pa
pers lying on the dressing table. The
presumption is, that on. the first oc
casion he hid them in his sleep, and on
the second visit he found them in his
sleep; but where he hid them and
found them has never been discovered.
