C0NLEY GETS in
BAD LUCK AGAIN.
Is Charged With Insulting and
Making Threats Against
Mrs. L. Fagen.
FOUR WARRANTS AGAINST HIM.

Mrs. Lily Fagen, proprietor of the
Kain-Tu Ee Tar Springs, and her
brother, Oceols Van Arsdale, have
been having trouble with w. W.
Conley, a stakeholder who, they
claim, has been making threats
against them, and insulting them and
the guests at the Springs.
Conley was arreSted at the Springs
last Thursday by Deputy Sheriff 7.
NJ Bates, on peace warrant sworn
out by Mrs. Fagen. and the trial was
set for that afternoon In Squire Jen-
nings court. Conley was present,
but the plaintiff failed to appear.
Conley, who was then released, re-
turned to Tar Springs. He found his
room was locked and the sey was re-
fused him when he demanded il. He
then broke in the door and went into
his room.
There we're no further develop
ments in the trouble until yesterday,
when Mrs Fagen and Mr. Arsdale
went to Hardinsburg and swore out
three warrants against Conley AM
placed the matter III the hands of the
county attorney. The warrants
charge Conley with using abusive and
insulting language aga INST Mrs.
Fagen. with threatening tc commit
an offense against her person and
threatening to destroy her property
and Threatening violence to Mr.. Ars-
dale. The warrants will be received
by Sheriff Payne tomorrow and ne
will probably take Conley into custody
about Friday.

of Port Arthur. even such a national
event as the christening of the czare.
witch is robbed of much of the promi.
hence which would otherwise be ac-
corded 1t, and St. Petersburg is dim
and silent, with no sign of festivity.
Although the fairylike grounds of the
Peterhof are gay with flags and deco
cations, and though the great palace
is filled with distinguished guests. the
scene resembles more one OF a
weighty international conference than
that OF a gathering of merrymakers.
The capital is filled with sinister ru-
mors of Port Arthur's desperate
stA Is. The superstitious are predict
ing the fall of the fortress on the day
of the baptism of the czarevitch, but
this is easily traceable to the fact that
several big Russian reverses have oc-
CURED on Russian fete days.
It is reported that a message was
received from Lieutenant General
Stoessel, which was sent from Port
Arthur on the night of Aug. %, by
way of Chefoo. saying that desper-
ate assault by the Japanese had been
in progress during the previous 4S
hours. No confirmation of this report
can be had. While the general STAFF
does not conceal its anxiety, the best
military authorities have not aban-
doned the hope that General Stoessel
will be able to hold out. This more
hopeful view is somewhat borne out
by an unofficial dispatch from Lao
Yang saying that in a two days as
sault on Aug. 10 and Aug. 20 the at
tackers, like their predecessors, were
beaten OF with heavy loss.
The situation at Lao Yang itself is
quiet, but the improving weather pre-
cedes the renewal of military activity.
It is believed that II General Kuropat-
kin is contemplating a diversion in

long delayed.
