edges Loss of Provinces

BELGRADE, March 29-Serxia has
surrendered completely to the demands

verbally inform the Servian govern

Austria Hungary of her peaceful in
tentions, revoking all claims to indem-

ELECTION BET Is TIED

Stakeholder Does Not Know How to
Let Go.
There is case now pending in
the courts involving $500 which was
an election bet on the results of the
recent local option election which
was made by ]. C. White and w. s.
Gentry, the form restaking 500 to
800 on the results. The amount in
checks was placed in the hands of
d. MePheee.
Immediately after the election
Mr.. White stopped the payment of
the check, claiming that the cleo
ton was carried by unfair means.
In the meantime the check had been
attached In McPhee's hands by ]. NJ.
Flynn. who claims that he holds an
Indebtedness against Gentry for at
tarney's fees. Therefore the checks
are completely tied up for the pres
ent, and 1t may take the district
court to determine who shall receive
the checks.
