An Independent Newspaper BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, SEPT. 16, 1960 Old.t Weekly in Salt Lake County PHONE PR 36 One by One The Roses Fall gruesome murder in the town's history. Nursing fit of jealousy, one of the boarder by the name of Blackburn laid in wait in the Carr Fork garage for Miss Nelson, a waitress at Ropers, who had spurn-ed hi courtship, and cut her throat from ear to ear. He was sentenced to life in prison and was released a few years ago. This sentence wat very unpopular in our community. Bill Coris had his barber shop there for many years. One of the features on his sign was, Bath with hot water, towel and soap for two-bit- s. Last one to occupy this part of the building wa the Copper Trading Post. Probably the best known and re-membered was John Feraco's Cafe where the finest meal, both in qual-ity and quantity was featured. I can see now a clear as yesterday, the trio that made Feraco's famous, Delia, Jennie and John with their friendly smile and hearty laughs. No wonder 'it was a pleasure to eat there, with good food, expertly cooked and served by those won-derful girls and with John always in town was dispensed (not being of age at the time these comment are based on hearsay), Tht bar featured Warwick Whiskey and was run by a Mr. Jackson. He did not allow any drunks or rowdie in his place. It had the traditional twing-ing doors and I remember time or two when my brother and 1 shoved a bucket and dime under the door and got our bucket of suds to take home. Many stores opened and closed in the Senate building. Ben Lewis and C. A. Eliade had jewelry shops. Art Tremelling had tailor shop and Jack Lutzger ran cloth-ing store. Later "Panco" George Nacheff had a shoe repair shop and T. P. Durrant, a photo studio. For those who enjoy touch of nostalgia, I shall in the coming issue of the Bulletin, try to recall to mind the people, place and events that made history in Bing-ham Canyon. Join me and travel with a boy that grew up in Bing-ham and loved every minute of it-- down Memory Lane. John J, Creedon Some year back, during the day of the "Noble Experiment" known also as the 1 8th Amendment or Prohibition, we had a tavern owner by the name of Jack Creighton. Jack being an Irishman was both friendly and witty and had a host of friends. During the term of one extra zealous Sheriff of Salt Lake County, who was going to dry up the town and reform all of us, de-puties were sent out to raid our taverns and confiscate their, wares and close them up one by one. In due time Jack's place wa raided and found to be telling some thing stronger than Becco or Necco, Volstead' answer to mans' insat-iable thirst, and hi establishment was padlocked. Jack had a large sign printed and placed in his win-dow draped in black with the word-ing, "One by one the Rote Fall." I am reminded of this aign a 1 see the building up town fall to the battering ram and bulldozer of the wrecking crew. There wa tome hope in Jack' case, a he opened again, a good a new and with more and better merchandise, but our buildings are gone for good, to rise no more. Each of these building had an interesting history and an import-ant part in the life of our town, o I will try and recall some of the highlights of event that took place and the people who were part of it. Carr Fork Bar at 6 Ml Carr Fork was occupied by Bunker and Jimp-so- n around the early 1900'. It wa later known a the Thompson Block, owned by Frank Thompson family. I remember when Otto Kappel had a tailor shop there and where he wrote his little paper taking to task various individual and groups, es-pecially the politicians and law-yers. I recall one passage from his sheet, "Some men get callouses on their hand from work, some on their feet from work, our Town Clerk sitt in the City Hall." The county jail wat in thit build-ing lor a short time, when there wat a misunderstanding with the city government, k consisted of an iron cage about eight feet square. In the Mid-twenti- there wa a boarding house on the ground floor run by a Mr. Roper. This was to be the setting for one of the most on hand to help out and join in the conversation with hi inimitable manner of speaking. Gone too is the building at 503 Main, where one of Bingham' first clothing stores was operated by Steve Hays. Several stores were operated in this building, the last I remember was Herman Ritter's Outlet. Next door wat the Stage Line office where the buses have oper-ated for many years. This building was a saloon in the early days and according to old timers, was owned by Jacob Newman. I remember it as the Liberty Theatre where I first saw Eddie Polo in a movie serial. After the Liberty closed, it was a saloon again, but 1 don't recall the name of it, but one event happen-ed that wa amusing but could have been tragic. A somewhat soused miner put some blasting caps in the pot bellied stove and when the Chinese janitor went to stir up the fire, the caps exploded and blew stove and Chinaman out through the single wall. He was not badly hurt, but the saloon was a shambles. Down the street at 497 was the Senate Bar, where the best whiskey UNOFFICIAL PRIMARY ELECTION RETURNS Salt Lake County 21st Legislative District September 13, 1960 DEMOCRATIC District 465 467 468 471 Total Governor Wm.
