There is at present an acute shortage of coal in Taihapc, and the local dealers are eking out their stocks by supplying their customers with about half a bag at a time. A i&ramatici occurred in the peace procession at Kaitangata . (reports the Clutha Leader) ,and it was f< :touch and go” for trouble. Two young fellows had the foolhardiness to appear in the motor procession flying the red flag. In a trice their motor and side car was surrounded by a ) body of returned soldiers, the red flag was torn down and tram pel in the dust and cries aros6 from the crowd to“roll them in the gutter,” and “duck «■ them in the river.” Things looked' very ugly for two “Heds,” but’jjjii eventually, for the sake of order and for their own safety they were*rre- ; quested to leave the procession, and get out of the public view. Neitherneeded to be told twice.
