note, requesting information which
the United States may possess. con-
corning the deaths OF American citi-

Serbia made to Austria's original ul-
timatum, which brought about the
European war. Austria declined to
believe Serbia's professions OF ig-
aorance and refused TO engage In a
controversy with the Belgrade gov
eminent.
Serbia asked Austria to supply

In the Austro- Hungarian red book

which led up to the war, there are
published comments made by the
government of the dual monarchy or
the various items of the Serbian note
These comments invariably refuse 10

the interviews of Serbian officials
about which Vienna demanded an
explanation is as follows:

ID. Merrill OF that town. The plaintiff
alleges that on September ., 1915,
the doctor, without any just cause or
provocation, assaulted and Injured
him. Suit Is brought for judgment
In the sum of $5,175. Ito
DR.. Roy Andrews, who dressed the
injuries of Shuts, described these
on the stand this morning. He spoke
OF swelling and evidences OF injury
about the head and body. He said he
feared to remove the patient to the
hospital for several days, thinking
there might be internal injuries, anu
the removal might complicate the
situation.
Attorneys John e. Regan and
Hiram s. Golf are conducting the
case for the plaintiff and S. B. Wilson
for the defense.
The trouble between the two men
arose out of the. fact that on the night
before the doctor found a man on his
porch in a drunken condition and he
thought that man was the plaintiff,
