With a headline underscored by a fluttering American flag, the Record noted buoyantly that every name on the Liberal ticket was "a symbol of true-blue Liberalism, anti-Mormon and genuine American principles." The opposing People's (Mormon) party the Record described with biased relish as "the disloyal, un-American, un-American, overbearing dogma of church and state.. .working on the poor dupes and slaves." Lost under the small-type headline "What are they at?" the Record reported that LeGrande Young, a People's party candidate for councilor, coun-cilor, had had to withdraw because he didn't meet residency requirements. re-quirements. "His ineligibility is regretted by the People's party," said the Record with rancor, "who will now put up a man of about the same unsavory calibre." Despite the political furor, the workaday world of mining continued unchecked. Adding a touch of mystery that week was the arrival of George Chase of Massachusetts, who represented the biggest stockholder in the Empire Mine. Although a Record reporter who approached Chase for an interview found the Empire man "non-come-at-able," he managed to discover that the large stockholder, a Mr. Sampson, had sent Chase to ascertain ascer-tain the cost of reactivating the works, which had been closed down Weddings QuinlanGee Peggy Quinlan and Kerry Gee were married June 20 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Park City.

In other news, brakeman George Robinson met with an accident while riding the Park City-Echo freight train. The mishap, which "nearly ended his existence," said the Record, occurred when the forward car unexpectedly pulled out as Robinson stepped between boxcars. Fortunately, the brakeman suffered suf-fered only cuts and bruises in his fall to the tracks. 25 Years Ago The ordeal of a Salt Lake City office of-fice girl ended in nearby Wanship when a Highway Patrolman captured cap-tured her abductor. Earl Lynn Smith, 22, had abducted 18-year-old Kaye Welch as she left a Salt Lake post office with her employer's mail. As she got into her car, the gunman gun-man slipped onto the seat beside her and ordered her to take him to the bus depot. En route, he changed his mind and directed her north, out of the city. Low on gas, the couple stopped at the Pack Service Station in Wanship, where Smith forced four tourists into the lube room and ordered them to disrobe. He then stole $50 from the station owner and fled, leaving Welch behind. The station owner phoned the Highway Patrol, and the call was taken by Patrolman Don Facer, who 1 9 Jane Singer Dean Berrett 20 Karen Coleman Lee Krell Cindy Nelson Lindsey Miller Hadley Fuller Tahlia Davis Angie Johnston 2 1 Kathy Jones Toni Marsh 22 Barb Uriarte Suzette Cantin Virginia Meehan Mike Ivers Jr. Patty Murray 1 " to Time had stopped at the Kozy Cafe. He waited with a riot shotgun at a view area on the robber's route and arrested ar-rested him. Smith, who his hostage described as polite, was charged with grand larceny. Taking a back seat to crime that week was a report on the Fourth ol July parade. The largest group in the parade, said the Record, was the 38-man Mountain Meadows Ranch Hands. The riders in their tall Stetsons Stet-sons were a refreshing change from the "gasoline buggies" of all makes that were the dominant feature of the parade, the Record noted. A recalcitrant calf provided the highlight of the annual strut. The calf, tied to the rear of the 4-H Club camper, "folded up and lay down on the street," said the Record. When the 4-Hers were stymied in their efforts to propel the calf into the rear of the camper, a helful bystander hefted it in for them. In other news, Louis Dunn, 82, died in Ely, Nevada. Dunn, who was born in San Francisco in 1879, had beer the proprietor of The Club saloon on Main Street. 10 Years Ago The beleaguered develum I proposed Norfolk Avenue ., I sion met with another setback as&J Planning Commission turned down preliminary approval of the project.
