SALVATION SOLDIERS IN TROUBLE.
(united press association.) Timaru, January 31
John Thomson and Arthur Duggan, Salvationists, were charged at the Resident Magistrate’s Court with obstructing the street, and continuing, when ordered to move on on the 25th instant, in Beswielc-stroet, between the Grosvenor and Royal Hotel-. Two members of the Army deposed that accused did move on when desired, but they caused considerable diversion by naively admitting in cross-examination that they continued to walk up and down —“just loitered like.” The Bench inflicted a nominal penalty of 10s each with costs, 30s. Accused said they had no money, and elected to go to gaol for twelve hours. “ All right, my portmanteau’s packed,” exclaimed the “captain” as they were marched off.
