On this day in 1913 it was reported that Ed Spence, floor manager of the dance held at Holland, 30 miles from Grants Pass the previous Saturday night "...is in serious condition from 11 knife wounds as a result of trying to enforce his taboo of the 'Bunny Hug', the 'Turkey Trot' and like terpsichorean confections." To settle the matter, Mr. Spence had "stepped outside" with a young man who persisted in dancing the ragtime steps. Spence's wounds were a result of an argument.
