injuries which caused him to be
taken to the general hospital for
treatment, where he still remains.
The trouble Is said TO have arisen
over the playing of piece of music
on graphophone owned jointly by
the two men. and their inability to
agree upon which particular selec-
tion should have the preference in
its performance on Monday. The
dispute waxed warmer until Cline
seized a club and belabored his
obstreperous relative into submis-
sion and incidentally made him n
good subject for hospital attention.
He was brought TO the General Hos
pital for treatment, and will be re-
leased in the course OF few days,
his injuries consisting principally of
a badly battered head, no bones be-
ing broken.
Cline, as above stated, Is In the

condition of the innocent cause of
the difficulty.
