ic Plea in Court.

Council! 6luffs Resident Makes Pathet-
ic Plea in Court.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, March 8-"If you
send my boy away, you might as we'll
send me, too. He's all I've got and ]
don't know how I'll get along without
him. Don't send him to the reform
school, judge. Give me one more
chance to raise him right. If you'll let
him stay, I'll see that he goes to
school in the morning."
AS Theodore Lyon stood in the dis
trict court room and addressed this
plea to Judge Thornell, tears streamed
down his cheeks. Beside him sat his
son. Jesse, aged 12. The boy had been
arrested under the Juvenile court law
for non-attendance at school and fall
ing into evil habits. 1t was shown that
his father was addicted to the use Of
liquor, and had given the boy whisky
and beer to drink. The judge refused
to change his decision.

ransmission) The tenth day of the
Japanese attack finds the battle pro-
crossing favorably. Its long duration
was expected and will probably con-
tinue several days more before con-
cluded. The Japanese forces have
reached nearly to Mukden, within two
miles of the railway and are bombard-
ing strongly. The Russians every
where are making desperate resistance,
frequently trying offensive operations
and arranging every defensive device
Of modern warfare. The fighting re-
sembles a siege more than a field of
battle. The past two nights there has
been hard fighting at the front and
east of Witosan. The infantry was
closely engaged while the Russian bat
teries shelled the trenches. Star shells
were used to illuminate the battlefield.
Hand grenades We're employed freely
in the close fighting. Last night the
Russians attempted to break the Jap
anese line by crossing the river west
of Witosan. but were repulsed. Quiet
prevailed on the front today with the
exception of some artillery work this
morning. In the afternoon Red Cross
flags were raised to permit the wound
ed lying on the slopes and between the
hills north of the river to be collected.
The Red Cross people We're busy sew
eral hours. Soldiers from the trenches
took advantage of the opportunity to
walk about freely for the first time
in several days.

phatically, no. I refuse absolutely to
entertain any offers of reconciliation
from Mrs. Cody. was willing and
anxious for an agreement at the time
Of Arta's death, but when she replied
to my advances for a reconciliation by
charging me with being the murderer

every spark of love had for her died"
With these words, closing his cross

he seeks !. divorce.
Tells of Miss IsbeII.
The testimony related to Colonel
Cody's acquaintance with Miss Isben,
and to the causes for his several sep
arations from his wife. Cody insisted
that Miss Isbell was not employed by
the wild west show, but she travelled
with them, selling the book written by
his sister and telling the story of the
coloneIs life as scout. For these
services he paid her out of the profits
from the sales of the book salary Of
$25 week.
Speaking of the separations, the col
onel declared the first separation in
1877 resulted from his kissing the lady
members of his troupe good-by when
the show disbanded. He explained that
the girls had been working faithfully,
and that he saw no impropriety in his
actions.
Attorney Wilcox asked whether he
would approve of his wife giving fare
well kisses to party of young men
who had been working for her, and Col
onel Cody said he would approve her
action in doing so under similar Cir
cumstances.
Attorney Wilcox questioned Cody
with regard to the episode wherein he
alleged certain indignities by Mrs.
Cody at Supper, but the colonel was
unable to remember the names of any
of the guests.
Asked about the alleged attempt of
his wife to poison him, Cody admitted
that he had no knowledge of what was
in the glass She had placed at his bed
side, but the fact that it had been re-
moved when he woke in the morning
led him to the belief that 1t contained
poison.
No further dispositions will be taken
by either side. Arguments will be heard
at Sheridan, Wyo., April 13.
Colonel Cody left Omaha yesterday
afternoon for New York and will sal,

In a complete turning of the Russian

directly east. The Russians made a
