 The other side of the story was ob- tained this afternoon from R. E. and A, J, Daggs, both of whom talked freely when questioned about their side of the affair.
 They claim that the trouble of last night was the result of the two girls trying to blackmail, and in support of this they show the alleged agreement entered into between R. E. Daggs and Marie Power, the signature of Esther Power being attached.
 R. E. Daggs says that the girls did not come to the office yesterday for g that was owed to them for work. tut to keep an appointment they had ade Saturday, at which time they promised to return and get the re- mainder of the s60 they were to be paid for keeping still about the incl dent of October 17.

| agree that the above statement is true.
 From R. E Daggs this afternoon, the above copy of an alleged agree IT ent was received. and around 1t he claims, centers all the trouble with Esther and Marie Power, which cul- minated yesterday evening in the sen sational row in the Monihon building
 R. E. and A. J. Daggs are now un- der arrest for assault upon the young women, complaints having been sworn to before Justice Johnstone last night, and served on the defend ants by deputy sheriffs.
 Last night was spent in the county jail by the two men. They were re- leased this morning about g o'clock. each under a bond of 1000. Their bondsmen were c. A. Bower, A. J. Dobyns, c. H. Davis and L. B. Chris ty
 Shortly after their release the de fendants appeared before Justice Johnstone, and were given until to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock in which to enter pleas to the charge of assault-Phoenix Enterprise.
 Shortly after o'clock this after noon indictments were made public by tke grand jury. They are two charges of aggravated assault against A J. Daggs and one of aggravated assault and enc of attempted rape against A. E. Daggs. A. J. Daggs is charged with assault on Marie Pow CT, and the charges against the other Daggs are for assault and attempted rape on Esther Power. The grand jury deliberated the matter this after noon. When the indictments were found the defendants were not in GUS tody, ad 1t was not till after o'clock that they appeared in court to hear the indictments, and have their bonds arranged.
 When the defendants came into court they were accompanied by Judge c. A. Bower and Lloyd B. Chris ty. who were present to go on their Ionds. The bonds are expected to be large ones.
 As yet. but little can be gathered cut of the chaos of conflicting state ments that are made by the parties most concerned in addition much has been talked on the streets that has no foundation, being the result of rumor and conjecture.
 According to the stories the girls tell they went to the office of R. E. Daggs for the purpose of collecting S2. which Marie Power claims was due her for services rendered the firm a short time ago.
 Esther Power claims that when they catered the place, one of the men closed the dsor. SAs remOn- strated with him about shutting the door and locking 1t, and then fight followed.
 Marie Power complains against R. K. Daggs. and says that he hit her with his fist on the forehead, the re- suit being a bump half as big as a hens egg, which she exhibits today.

 Both girls claim that the two de, fendants used them roughly and in the melee kicked and struck them several times

SOME REASONABLE ADVICE.

It may be a piece of saperfluous ad- vice to urge people at this season of the year to lay in a supply of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It is al most sure to be needed before the winter Is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory results are obtained when taken as soon as a cold Is con tracted and before 1t has become set tied in the system. which can Oaly be done by keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy is so widely known and so altogether good that nc one should hesitate about buying it in preference to any other. It is for sale by all dealers in patent medi cines.

PHOENIX STIRRED

Additional Indictments Char gG Attorneys With Ser
 iOUS OffenSeS

Phoenix, Oct. 27-IndictmentS found yesterday afternoon by the Oc- tober grand jury, but not reported un bl this morning, are those charging d. E. Dagss with attempt to rape Els 1her Power. and A. J. Daggs with az sraYated assault upon Marie Power
 With those reported this morning, this makes a tctal of four indictments against the Daggs brothers, two for each of them. Those against A. J. Daggs are each for assault.
 Late this afternoon the two broth ITS were brought into court on the in dictments returned today. J. E. Daggs was placed under a bond of $500 on the rape charge, and A. J. Daggs allowed to go on their own rscognizance.
 On his $500 bond, J. E. Daggs got A. J. DObyns and c. H. Davis as sure les. To complete the bond, Lloyd B. Christy will be added as a surety.
 Justice Kent this afternoon fixed Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock as the time for the brothers to plead to the charges that have been made against them.
 It is understood that the defend ants have retained O. c. Sharp, a lrominent local attorney, to look af- Ter their legal interests. He was ID court with them this afternoon and present when they arranged with Court Clerk Duneyy for their bond
 Late yesterday afternoon the broth CT gave their bond on the charge of aggravated assault found in the first TWO indictments. They were each piaced under a bond of $500, with lloyd B. Christy, c. 4. Bower. A. J DobyDs and C. H. Davis as their sure ties The total amount of the bono they have given together only amounts 10 SS500 so far.
 Little additional has occurred in connection with this sensational af- Iair. Esther Power is strong in her statements that J. E. Daggs attempt ed criminal assault This he strong ly denies, but admits having kissed and hugged her, but says that 1t did lot go =ny further

siOoo a Pound tor pIsease.Proof Potatoes.

$1,000 Pound for Disease Proof Potatoes.
During the past two seasons there has
been an unusual epidemic of the potato
disease which has in many sections de-
stroyed from 25 to so per cent. of the
crop. As result, the United states
government commissioned l.. II. Jones'
professor Of botany at the University Of
Vermont, to visit the chief potato grow
ing sections of Europe last summer to
make a comparative study Of potato
diseases as to cause and remedy, and
especially to learn the progress being
made in England and elsewhere i'm de-
Veloping disease resisting varieties. Re-
markable success in this direction has
been had in Scotland. where the interest
among practical and scientific agricul-
turalists in this matter is at fever heat
SO great did this become last year that
when the most famous of the potato
originators announced that he had a new
variety, the "Eldorado," which he be-
lieved to be disease-proof, and Of which
he would offer a few pounds at auction
they commanded marvellous prices, a
single pound of the precious tubeTs selling
| for as high as a thousand dollars Even
this year, with a considerable increase
on the market, the standard price OF the
"Eldorado" Is three guineas a pound, or
about $1,000 "A bushel.
Professor Jones placed orders for seed
tubers of this land some seventy-five
other varieties, selected with expert advice
as giving highest promise of disease-re-
sistance in the British islands, France,
Belgium, Holland and Germany These
are all to be tested at several places in
this country the coming summer, together
with selected American varieties. Pro-
fessor Stuart, of the horticultural depart
ment of the University will have charge
of these trials in Vermont and will also
continue in cooperation with the United
States department of agriculture in ex-
periments in hybridzing the most promis-
ing of these with plants of the various
wild species of the potato family
recently brought from Mexico by c. G..
Pringle While 1t is not expected that
these trials will bring any immediate re-
suits of a revolutionary character. it is
confidently hoped that the ultimate out
come will be of much practical benefit.
