Show Bread Riot in Salt Lake. They had a "bread riot" in Salt Lake yesterday not at all so serious an affair as it pretended to be. The Herald in giving the news significantly says: "The leader's name is William Woold, and when he started out to gather up all the available cohorts, he carried in his pocket an order from Selectman Ramberger for a ton of coal and another order granting him a week's employment at $2 per day." They have a relief committe - in Salt Lake consisting of county and city officers who assign work each Tuesday. Yesterday there were 1300 applicants and only work for 250 men and fifty teams could be given out. The others were disappointed. From these a mob of about 250 men was gotten up who paraded the streets throwing their hats in the air and exercisi g their lungs freely. The leader was arrested and wilted. A committee of the rioters were appointed to draft resolutions. These ask the mayor of Salt Lake for work or bread. |
