500 Villagers Out.
No notice, however, was taken of this ultimatum, and the people' of Eccelcfechan met in the Square on Saturday at that hour for the purpose of "vindicating their
rights."
There were about 500 people present, men and women. Head- ed by Mr. Edward Easton, who is over 70; a member of the Parish Counell, and other colleagues, they proceeded to The Haggs. About a dozen had provided themselves with drainers, spades, wire cut- ters, and other implements.
They proceeded with the des truction of the fence in a business. like way. This operation occupied about an hour and a half. The fence was seven feet high and con- sisted of twelve strands of wire. six plain and six barbed, and they were carried on substantial iron standarda. Where difficulty was found in removing the standards
stout rope was fastened to it, and as many members of the crowd as could get hold of the rope soon had it level with the ground. Each standard fell to the accom- paniment of resounding cheers.
Col. Archibald Arnott and Dr. Catharine Arnott were present and mingled with the crowd. Col. Ar nott stated that he had made an offer to the Chairman of the Parish Council to have the dispute settled- by an interview on the spot be- tween representatives from the Now York, June 4, Parish Council, from the rate- Joe Dundee, the Italian-American, payers, and from Kirkeonnel Hall, won the world's welter-weight box- but that letter had not been ing championship by decisively beat-brought before the Parish Counci). ing Pete Latzo (holder) in a fifteen The Chairman confessed that he rounde' bout.-Reuter's American Service.
