Show SnERiFF Fowler has a man in custody cus-tody "whom, he has reason to believe, is a deserter from the 21at Lifantrv. The Sheriff telephoned to Fort Douglas Doug-las yesterday but did not receive a satisfactory sat-isfactory answer. The prisoners in the county jail for the last three or four nights have made night hideous with a series of bowlings which they evidently believe to be singing. Their midnight concert should be stopped. It is very annoying annoy-ing to passers-by, and also to the neighborhood, as their screeching can be heard several blocks off. Several electors of Provo Bench have called at The Dispatch office within the last few days, to denounce as a pure fabrication the report lately made ry the Enquirer that a Republican had been elected over a Democrat for school trustee in that district. They all say that the words "Republican" and "Democrat" were not used at the caucus nor at the election. Tin question ques-tion turned entirely upon the residence resi-dence of the two candidates. The fact is thev were both Democrats. If the Enquirer can get any satisfaction out of this, it is welcome to it. It further verifies the adage that a "drowning man wiL grasp a straw." But after all, don't the Enquirer feel a little ashamed of making such a break? Last night, about 11:30 o'clock, as the motor reached the U. P. crossing on its last trip from the lake, it ran otf the track, and the passengers had to wend their way to town on foot. At the point where the motor ran off there i is only a space of a few feet between - ti e U. P. and R. G. W. tracks, both lines paralleling each other at this point. Had the motor ran off a few , feet further a terrible accident would have occurred, as the 11:30 flyer on the R. G. W. came tearing along just at ' the time. It was some time before the car vas placed back On the track. It was finally replaced, however, but ai . soon as the train struck the switch a little further ahead, off it went again. The cause of the mishap is undotibt- edly due to the fact ttmt the front I truck on the motor is loose. |
