IF COURT GRANTS ORDER
First Petition of Its Kind Ever
Filed Here.

Peter Bohr and his three sons. Eddie,
George and Roy, flied a petition in the
district court yesterday afternoon, in
which they ask to have their name
changed from Bohr to Bohn.
The petition is a most unusual one; in
fact, it is, as far as known, the first one
Of it's kind that has ever been filed in
the Sedgwick county courts.
Mr. Bohr is prosperous farmer. liv-
ing near Valley Center. AS to his reason
for having his name changed, he merely
states that it is both suggestive and an
moving.
The following is the petition in full as
filed yesterday afternoon by the county
attorney, Otto G.. Eckstein:
THE petitioners, Peter Bohr, Eddie F.
Bohr. George NJ. Bohr and Roy Bohr. who
appears by his father, Peter Bohr re-
specially represent that they have been
bona-fide residents of the county of Sedg-
wick, state of Kansas for more than
one year last prior to the date thereof
Your petitioners ask that their name
be changed to Bohn, so that their names
hereafter may be as follows: Peter Bohn
Eddie F. Bohn. George NJ. Bohn and Roy
Bohn
THE cause for which the said change
of the petitioners names is sought, is
that the same is suggestive and annoying
to your petitioners.
Wherefore. your petitioners pray that
an order NAV be made CHANGING tbair
names TO the names of Peter Bohn, Eddie
F. Bohn, George NJ Bohn and Roy Bohn.

Rossler-Schimpff Case Will Go to the
Jury Some Time Tomorrow.

The Rossler-Schimpff case is attracting
considerable attention in the district
court and although the case has been
tried once before there has been much
evidence introduced that was not brought
out in the previous trial
The plaintiff concluded its evidence yes
terday afternoon and the first witness fer
the defense was on the stand at the time
for adjournment.
I. G. Parham was the first witness
called by the plaintiff yesterday morning
He testified as an expert in handwriting
and gave his opinion that the 81 LOO note
was signed by the defendant
A. j. Applegate was also called to tes-
tify as an expert in handwriting He
stated that in his opinion the note was
signed by Schimpff.
Harry Rossler. the plaintiff. was the
last witness called to the stand He stat
ed that the note was signed by Schimpff
in his presence at his store in Louisville
on the 29Ih of October. 1900.

a paper was drawn up by which Rossler.

would never bother his mother or any Of

by the defense that this is the note which

Toxic, Aug. %. The final assault
on Port Arthur is imminent. Hundreds
of japanese guns continue to pour a
destructive fire into the city and har-
Dor, along the lines of forts and en-
trenchments, preparatory for the infan-
try assault. 1t is evident that the Rus
iasn lines have been weakened and
partly penetrated in the vicinity of
Antshan and Itseshan forts. The en-
tire line of Russian defenses immed
lately about the harbor is within range
of the japanese guns. A humber of
Russian forts and batteries continue to
be vigorous. The japanese death roll
will be heavily increaed before they
are captured. The direction of the at
tack creates the impression here that
the city's defenses on either side of the
harbor entrance will fall first.
The firing upon the Russian fort by
the cruiser Nisshin and Kasuga yester-
day is the only disclosure made for
several days.
! 1t is believed here that both sides
have suffered heavy losses and that the
final record will make the seige the
| bloodiest since Sedan.
The Japanese are supremely conf
dent of the ultimate reult. The leaders
of the government await the outcome
in calm assurance. The people are
everywhere decorating streets and
houses and erecting arches and flag
stats in preparation of a national cele-
bration of the expected victory.
Two Russian torpedo boat destroyers
struck mines at the entrance of Port
Arthur last evening. The larger one

one, was sunk. The names of the ves-
sells and the number of lives lost are
