After the fight Carlson went home and the next morning he died suddenly The plaintiff claims that the man died as a result of the beat ing.
 The authorities in their in- vestigation found that while Agren and Carlson did fight, it was not as serious as was pictured and Carlson
 was able to go home alone. At home he did several duties about the house a shock resulting from uraemic pois- oning, to which the deceased had been subject for some time.

CRAZY OR ONLY DRUNK?
Police Wondering About Condition of
 Peter KrOt of Grove Street.

Whether Peter Krot of 42 Grove street is really crazy or is simply drunk, is a question with which the police are concerned today. Last night he rushed out of his boarding place and fled down the street clad only in his underclothes. When Of ficers Hart and McCabe arrested him he declared that fellow boarders were going to shoot him and he wanted protection. He was locked up for safe keeping.
 Today friends of Krot visited the police station and declared that he has been drinking too heavily of late.
