were returning to camp. Being in
merry mood, they were singing as they
rode along, and failed to hear the
rumble Of Aliens ice wagon, on It's
way to the city. A collision occurred,
Sergt. Becks horse striking the tongue
OF the ice wagon and being so badly

ICE CREAM INCIDENT.
An incident occurred az Murray
when the battery boys were marching
through the town on the way to Camp
Timpanogos, that has occasoned con-
siderable comment and Censure. 1t
appears that a yender of ice cream.
root beer. etc. was patronized by some
OF the artillerymen. and that his wagon
was looted by others. An item Of the
occurrence appeared in one Of the Salt
Lake papers, attaching the blame to
members Of Battery a. n. G. U. A
subsequent item appeared, purporting
to make a correction and placing the
blame on the members OF the Twenty
second battery, L. S. A.
From statements made by both reg
ulars and guardsmen, II appears that
the incident has been somewhat exag-
gerated, aud that members of both
batteries participated In the affair and
censure should not be bestowed ex-
Clusively upon either. II Is also Just
to state that most Of the members OF
both batteries took no part In the rob-
berry, and did not approve OF the ac-
ton,
