Show LOCALISMS. MAYOR WM. JENNINGS, of Salt Lake City, arrived in town last evening. THE sign lettering on the new building of the Foundry is very handsome work. It was executed by Mr. G. J. Bywater. THERE have been several gamblers in town lately, and it is said that they have not all departed. Civilization is gradually but surely finding its way into our quiet, peaceful city. S. W. DARKE, ESQ., of the firm of S. W. Darke & Co., insurance agents, Salt Lake city, came to Logan on Tuesday evening and returned yesterday. While here he engaged Mr. Franklin Merrill of this city to act as sub-agent for the firm, in the insurance business. THE increased frequency with which offenders are arraigned in the police court is not due altogether to an increase of crime in our town, but is largely owing to the increased vigor with which the officers are performing their duty. LAST Tuesday evening, a fight was in progress between a couple of young fellows whose names had previously appeared on the police court records. One of them, who was drunk, was arrested, and next morning fined for being drunk, disturbing the peace and fighting. A POLICE officer is kept on the streets night and day, and has been for some time past. The object of a continuous patrol is principally to look out for small pox patients that may possibly come in on a night train. It is thought that danger from this source is pretty well over. WE have received a communication containing some pungent points respecting a recent discussion between the Journal and an esteemed contemporary, but as we have closed the matter so far as we are concerned, we must decline the article. At the same time we appreciate the kind words of encouragement it gives the Journal. LAST Tuesday evening there was a lively melee in front of the Logan House. Two or three men were seen to grab at two or three others; a crowd collected, and a woman added zest to the scene by trying to extricate her husband from it. How the affair came about we could not learn, but it is probably safe to assume that either money or a woman was at the bottom of it. No arrests. |
