He wrote a letter to the editor in which he said Wilde had been dishonest and at county commission meeting called for an investigation By MYRNA TRAUNTVEIN Herald Correspondent NEPHI Juab County Commissioner Richard Brough, who is being sued for defamation of character by Juab County Deputy Sheriff Glen Wilde, said through an attorney that the deputy's lawsuit is unfounded because Wilde is a public official. In a response, Robert R. Wallace, of Hansen, Epperson and Smith of Salt Lake City, countered each of Wilde's charges. Wilde claims Brough recklessly and knowingly tried to deprive him of his good name. Wallace wrote Wilde is a public offical and therefore, is not open to the same rights of privacy as an ordinary citizen. The suit also does not accept Wilde's claim that Brough is being sued as a citizen. In his response, Wallace wrote, Brough was acting as a county commissioner. One several occasions, Brough called for Wilde to quit his job and of Wilde. Commissioners did hire Rhead Richards, a private investigator, to look into allegations made by 32 Eureka residents that Wilde had not been fair in his capacity as deputy and had also been dishonest. The report has not be publicly released and Brough said it will be subpoenaed. "One good thing about the suit," said. Brough, "is that the Rhead Richards report will finally be released." Wallace is defending Brough with the tab for most expenses being paid by the Utah Association of Counties. However, one point on expenses is still being argued by Juab County commissioners. Brough wants the rest of his legal defense expenses, above legal fees, Obituaries R. Dillon Frazier R.

By CHRISTI C. EVANS Herald Staff Writer A Spanish Fork student was awarded first place and a $300 scholarship Tuesday during the final round of the Provo Freedom Festival's annual speech contest for ninth- - and lOth-grastudents. Shannon Huff, a student at the Spanish Fork Intermediate School, was the only ninth-grad- e student out of the six contestants in the final round. Eleven students entered the preliminaries from which the finalists were chosen. Each student in the final round Tuesday spoke before Provo Municipal Council during its regular meeting. The rounds for higher grades will take place next week. Receiving second place and the contest was Walter student at Rudolph, a Mountain View High School. Third place and $150 went to Jenny Austin, also a lOth-graMountain View student.

Epidemiologists believe the Sanpete outbreak in Mt. Pleasant likely was the result of exposure to students from Delta, in Millard County, at a language fair at Snow College in Ephraim early in May. They also are investigating six suspect cases in Fillmore, east of Delta. All seven of the Mt. Pleasant cases were among children in families who are philosophically opposed to immunization, and five were of school age. Nationally, there were 7,653 cases of measles through May 19. Spanish Fork youth wins speech contest - AF freedom. She outlined the founding father's willingness to sacrifice everything by signing the Declaration of Independence. "I wonder how many of us today would be able to do what these men have done," Huff said. "Do we dare give it all for our freedom?" Rudolph called life, fortunes and sacred honor the "cornerstones of human existence." The founding fathers realized this when they began this country, he said. "I believe we have protected our sacred honor so well, our founding fathers would be proud to see the results," Rudolph said. Democracy is a form of government which ensures participation by the people. "Our founding fathers knew the essential ingredient for success in any country was its people." Austin said the people of today must remain true to the commitment to sacrifice the founders of this country made years ago. "We of this generation must make the same oath as past generations, to give our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor," she said. Americans must ask themselves if they are willing to make the sacrifice not only made by the founding fathers, but by those who defended this country's freedoms with their lives, Austin said.
