George Cobarth was arrested yesterday
in Brunswick, Nd, charged with felon-
ious assault on Miss Rose Holly at Ger

made by Deputy Sheriff.. Emery Nelson.
Cobarth told his story as follows: "On

me at no time, but when she is put
on the stand God knows what that wom-

Mrs. Taggart on the Stand

Wooster, Ohio, Aug. 29.-Mrs. Tag
CART on the stand in the divorce trial,
today, told the story of her life at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. This brought out
her acquaintance with General Miner and
Lieut.. Fortescue, kinsman of President
Roosevelt, both of whom we're named as
correspondents in the suits; of the visits
there of young woman guests, who, IN
the words of Mrs. Taggart, as repeated
by Taggart, were there to get married, and
who encouraged officers to drink in the
hope that they would propose while be-
fuddled; also Mrs. Taggart's story Of the
night at home where Taggart, she says,
mad with jealousy, tore the clothes
from her body, and beat her without
mercy.
"The captain and-I, and two Filipino
boys and Emma, the cook, composed our
family, at Fort Leavenworth," began
Mrs. Taggart. "The captain drank at
Fort Leavenworth. He was excitable
and unreasonable and seemed to imagine
things that had never happened. Things
were all right when he did not drink.
We had beer and whisky. Sometimes,
at dinner, drank little wine. / sell
dom, if ever, drank cocktails. | never
drank highballs, and when did drink
whisky | drank alittle straight"
Mrs. Taggart during the delivery OF
her testimony denied emphatically the
charges that she had been drunk or was
guilty of any improperly with Lieut..
Fortescue, as had been alleged.

1APAN,s NEW PROPOSAL.

session of the peace conference today
agree to withdraw her demand for in
demnity and propose that an interna-
tional commission determine the price

Sakhalin Island.
Such proposition would throw upon

men discussed at Toxic President
Roosevelts proposition for a compro-
mise.
The japanese are supremely confident
that should the war continue Marshal
Oyama will defeat General Linevitch
and take Hardin.
Reports that President Roosevelt had
taken sides with Japan and held that
Japan's demands were right are officially
regarded in st. Petersburg as incredible.
The Paris Figaro publishes the follow
ing statement, which it says was made
by a high officer of the Russian Foreign
Office now staying in Paris:
When on the invitation of President
Roosevelt Russia and Japan began peace
negotiations the Gar favored peace at
any price, except that he was resolved
to safeguard the dignity of Russia. The
intention of the Gar was known in To-
kio. In principle peace was accepted
and all that remained was TO draw up a
purely formal protocol. Instructions
were sent to the generals in Manchuria
and hostilities virtually ceased. The
plenipotentaries went to Portsmouth,
not to negotiate a peace, but to confirm
one.
But sudden change came about in the
mind of the Gar after his interview with
the German Emperor. William ex-
pressed fear that any concession on the
part of Russia would injure the prestige
of European nations. Instructions were
then sent to NJ. White restricting his
powers.
Nevertheless, "said the interviewer at
this point, emperor William declared
that he would not thwart the efforts OF
President Roosevelt"
"He said he would no. ihwart them
for the good reason that he had frustrated
them before they were begun" was the
reply.
Questioned in conclusion as to the
outcome of the present situation, the
diplomat replied: 1--WE must expect sur
prises."

Fight i'm Winchester.

Democratic politics, in Winchester,
which has been unsettled since last
Tuesdays primary election by reason OF
United States Commissioner Alvin j.
Tavenner's contesting the nomination of
Richard E. Byrd for TIE House of Dele
gates from Winchester and Frederick
county, was further disturbed yesterday
morning by a personal encounter in front
of the Burgess Hotel, in north Main
street, between Harry f. Byrd, local
manager of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, and County Treasurer Samuel
NJ. Ohiles.
Young Mr.. Byrd is son of Richard
f. Byrd, whose contest for the legisla-
tive nomination with Mr.. Tsyenner was
heated and bitter. Treasurer Chiles is
an intimate friend OF Mr.. TavenDer and
is a member of the committee which was
charged with holding up the primary
returns because OF the contest.
When the two men met yesterday
morning, while the street was crowded
with pedestrians, Mr.. Byrd is alleged TO
have accosted Treasurer Chiles and
charged him with being partial to Tav-
enner. Hot words followed and des-
perate encounter ensued, Chiles follow
ing Byrd into the hallway, both ex-
changing blows in rapid succession, un-
til the proprietor, 5. d. Mcdonald, and
others separated the combatants.
Both bear marks of the fight. The
affair created a tremendous sensation
and is the leading topic of conversation.
No arrests were made.
