SCRIMMAGE AT THE "ARMY."

Before Mr C. A. Wray, S.M , to-day Arthur Frisby, a youug man f>£ abou eighteen years, waa charged with having assaulted E. Mahood on July 17. MrPurnel appeared for complainant, and Mr Wildinj for the defence. Defendant pleaded not gnilty. E. Mahood said he was a member oi the Salvation Army, and on July 17 there was a serTice m the Fortress. Witness was doorkeeper, and defendant with several others occupied a seat near the door. During the service Frisby was talking loudly enough for witness to hear him twelve or fourteen 'feet away. He was persistently talking and disturbing the meeting. Witness re monstrated with him «nd defendant ceased for the time. Witness went back to the door, hub bad again to go and remonstrate with him. It is the cußtom for people who must leave the meetings to do so while the singing ia going on. When aingiog began defendant came to the door, and said to witness that if he spoke to him again about talking he would knock witness's b head eff. He blocked the way and prevented other people from getting out. Witness told him to go on and make no disturbance. He persisted m Btanding there and blocking the way, and witness put his arms round him and lifted him out to the street* Did not hurt him m any way. Defendant then seized witness by the collar and dragged him out, striking him several times >m the face with his clenched fist. Witness seized him by the collar, and held him out at arm's length to stop farther blows. He then challenged witneas to fight. The blows were painful oneß, and witness's faae was swollen next day m consequence of them, and Mb eyes were black for three or four days. By Mr Wilding— Waß glad to have the boys there, and of late there had been some rowdyism. Waß virtually " ohuokor out ' for the time being. The defendant and hit chums were half way up to the platform, from which an address was being delivered. The defendant's lot were the noisiest, and it was with difficulty the address could be heard. Used no violence m carrying the defendant out, and had no hold on him on the footpath. He did not strike witness out of the hall. Did not hold defendant against a wal 1 , but might have torn his oollar. Did not invite him to come to his pluoe m the morning to fight-, but told him to come there. Did not lead him to believe that witness would fight him m the morning. It is better to reason with a man when he is 000 l than when he is m a rags, and that was why he asked him to come round m the morning. Would have Bottled the case with hit mother for £2. Thomas Buokner was m the porch of the Barracks when the row took place. He heard the Ecuffle, and the door opened. Mahood had hold of Frisby under the arms, lifting him out to the pavement. There was no violence on Mahood's part, and Frisby was not hurt. Saw Frisby hit Mahood m the face with his clenched fist —two blows. Mahood did not strike back. Frisby dragged Mahood out by the coat. Saw Mahood's face afterwards, which was marked by the blows. The marks were there on Tuesday. Only saw two of the blows struck that Mahood received. ■ By Mr Wilding— Was not m the hall, but m tbe porch. Was keeping the outside door. Fritby said he would fight Mabood any day, and Mahood replied that he had better come to-morrow. Mahood never implied that he would fight Frisby to morrow. David Mclntyre was also m the porch and saw Mahood and Frisby scuffling m the inner door, Mahood having Frisby under the arms and lifting him out. The witness conoborated the evidence of the previous witnesses as to what took place. He saw Frisby strike three or four blows, bub saw no retaliation on the pact of Mahood. Mahood, m reply to Frisby'a challenge to fight, said if he would like to have it out, he could come down to his place next morning. This was not said m any jocular way. Robert Kerr corroborated the evidence as to Frisby's talking during the service. By Mr Wilding — Ihe boys were quiet after Mahood epoko to them. Patrick McGee, tailor, was m the barracks on the evening m question. Saw Fri&by there. Be waa not talking loudly, but could be heard. They were laughing and chattiog. Saw none of the row at the door. They did not cease talking after being tpoken to by Mahood, For the defence Mr Wilding said that m this case Mahood was not wholly blameless himself. It was not for a missionary of the Gospel to challenge boys to fight whom he was trying to humanise. The boys were welcome guests at the meeting, and Mahood bad no right to use violence towards this one. The boys felt bored, as boys will when a dreary discourse is being delivered, and talked to each other. Mahood was within his rights m asking them to be quiet, but his rights ceased there. The boy was actually on the way out when he waa rushed at by Mahood, seized and lifted up bodily. The boy, like any other high spirited boy, struck out m self defence. He called — Arthur Frisby, who said he was a son of an old resident here.' He was m the hall with his brother and Alfred Anthony. Had never bad any words before with Mahood nntil this t»ffair. Was not talking when Mahood came up and said if there was any more talking he would chuck witness out. Did not answer. A few minutes afterwards the singing began, and witness went out. Passing Mahood he said it was the last time he would bare the chance to say he-would chuck him out. Immediately Mahoou _eized him and lifted him out of the door. Said nothing to M&hood about knocking his head off. Outside, Mahood tore his tie, collar, and shirt, and seized him by the throat. Witneßß then hit out. Mahood laid hands on him first. Said to Mahood that he did not care to fight on the footpath, but if he came over to the other side he would let him have what he wanted. Mahood said he would not fight on the Sunday, bat would be ready for him on Monday at hie own place. By Mr Purnell— Mahood did not strike at witness. Mahood said he would not have Bach language there, bud witness had not spoken to him then, and did not say any thing about) knocking his head off. Arthur Patterson was on che platform, and Frisby and his chums were m full view, Frisby was m the habit of going to the Army meetings, and was no worse than any of the other boys that go there. Frisby was not talking loudly enough to disturb the meeting. There was nothing m Frisby's conduct m the hall to justify his ejection, but if he talked to Mahood at the door as he was said to have done, Mahood would have been justified m putting him oub. Alfred Anthony was with Frisby at tha meeting. They had not been talking when Mahood came and spoke to them. There had been talking amongst others near by. The three went out together when the sing ing came on. Frisby said to Mahood it would be the laßt chance be would have of putting him out. Said . nothing about knocking off his head. Mahood then rushed Frisby. Was perfectly aure that Mahood laid hands on Frisby first, and Frisby hit Mahood while he had hold of Frisby by the throat. Aftor the scuffle Mahood asked Frißby to come down to his place and fight it outt By the Bench— Frisby did not block the passage at all, and there was no necessity for Maboud to rußh him as he did. Was im mediately behind Frisby. B. Mahood, re-called, Baid the last wit ness was three or four people behind Frisby, His Worship said that as usual m such cases there was a conflict of evidence. The weight of it seemed to be m favor of what defendant said. The talking which had not been brought home to defendant had annoyed Mahood. What followed had been a «cuffl,B m which both parlies had been to blame, and Mahood had acted hastily. He hai got the worst of it, and now came to the court. Had the evidence brought by the Army been different His Worship would have been compelled to punish defendant, but as it was he must dismiss the case,

Thk Convalescent Ward.— There wae a ' representative gailie ing at the Hospital to-day, the occasion being the formal ? opening of t'-e conva'escent ward, built to c< mmemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen j ? Victoria . There were about sixty present, J and m the absence of Mr E. G. Wright, j f M.H.R., the chair was taken by His Wor ship the Mayor. A report of the proceed ings will appear m our next issue. Civil Cases. — There were only two oivil cases at the S.M. Court to-day — Union Bank v C. L. Hansen, £79 \b* lOd— judgment for plaintiff by default, with costs. MoAlister v Clarke, £2— difference between the parties on the purchase of a horse. Atter hearing parties and evidence — Mr Wilding for plain tiff, Mr Purnell for defendant — Hia Worship ■aid he was not satisfied with the proof of Agency, and Mr Wilding took a non-suit. Look to Your Clothes Lines. — It was Autolycua who said " when the kite builds, look for leaser linen." There are evidently a few kites building now, as several cloches lines have been stripped this week. The depredations have occurred mostly m the centre of the town, and until those •• kites" have supplied themselves from some othw source than the family wash of unsuspecting people, it would be well if no olothea were left out on the lines overnight. Smart Work. — The police are so often censured for incompetenoy that when a case occurs which is perhaps outside their line of duty, and therefore deserves praise, it is only fair to note ib. On Sunday last a lady residing m the country bub visiting m Ash burton, had the misfortune to lose her macintosh m the town. She reported the matter at the police station, with the result that m less than half an hour the lost garment was restored to its rightful owner j . by a auave custodian of the peace.

News m Brief.

Our readers are directed to the new advertisement of Messrs Collins and Co , which appears m this issue. Messrs Shearman Bros, have just opened up their new season's supply of Nimmo and Blair's seede. They also solicit a trial of their specially imported teas, Large stocks of farm requirements are always on hand. IS is not perhaps as widely known as it deserves to be but McDonald and MoDiarmids' stock of ladies walking and evening shoes is the best m Ashburton, while the prices are the lowest ever quoted owing to their great relinquishing sale now m full progress. Call and inspect, and buy before the opportunity of purchasing is gone. See advertisement m this paper. The new freezing works mil undoubtedly prove a great boon to Ashbnrton. Farmer*, tradesmen and laborers, as well as the enterprising merchants who promoted the soheme, will all participate m its benefits. The number of business men whose names appear on the list of shareholders show that they have cheerfully co operated with the farmers, realising that the prosperity of our town Dad district depends on our local industries. A few weeks ago we gave our readers a description of Messrs Craighead and Berryman'e well known tailoring estab lishment (on the completion of their exten- Bive alterations and improvements). They are now one of the largest employers of [ labor m Ashburton. They pay the highest wages and attribute the success of their business as "the leading tailors and outfitters " to the emp'oymenb of the besb skilled labor, and the facb that they have the largest stock of up-to-date tailoring goods to select from. Their prices are the lowest compatible with good quality. The number of Massey-Harris bicycles sold by this firm lately Bhowa that they are deservedly very popular high olass machines. Intending purchasers will do well to bear m mind that Messrs Craighkad and Bebby man's motto is "satisfaction.' 1

Hollow ay's Ointment and Pills— " There is nothing new aader the sun " is a saying credited to a variety of illustrious authors, from the time of Solomon to the present day. It ia a fact that many inven- tions looked upon as modern are of ancient origin. The telephone, which recently caused such a furore of excitement, was m ancient days a means by whioh the high priests woiked upon the credulity of their disciples. The pyramids of Egypt and other wonders prove that this generation has a great deal to learn. Hollo way 'a Pills and Ointment, however, were not anticipated by our forefathers, and to-day they stand alone as the besb cure the world possesses for all the ills hat humanity is heir to, Don'? Cough. — Relief can be obtained immediately. Use "Keating's Cough Lozenges " — well known as the utterly unrivalled Cough Remedy.
