That a disturbance did take placo was comet. The band had roally taken stops to wipe out an insult that had boon inado on tho occasion of Ecelos, a" bus-driver," striking a bandsmen with his whip. Tho blow was struck without prove cation, At tho station next morning Eeclcs wanted to "tike it out," of tho bandsman.

The Adjutant denied that tho Woodvilh people had been referred to as" a sot of dirty dogs." Eccles had boon cnllod a contemr,tiblo cur, and tho bandsmon held that opinion still. However, this kind of thing was not tho band's mission and was contrary to tho toolings and desires of tho mombors. Thoy preferred to (idfil tho object of their mission, hut at tho samo time thoy could not let pooplo run away with tho idea that becauso thoy worn in thu Salvation irtuy they had lost tho dignity of manhood, Thoy could not leave Woodvillo and allow it to bo said that they had run out of tho place liko a lot of whipped dogs
