AMERICAN FORK.
Great Times at the
Bathing Resort.
THE COMING FOURTH OF JULY
Politics, Amusements, Accident
and Dances.

One oil the most pleasant events that
has occurred in Am. Fork took place last
evening under the auspices of the wo-
mans Suffrage Association and for the
benefit OF the Brass Band. The num-
Der Of people present was about 300.
The floor manager was Mr.. Jas. Chip
man Jr. and the music was furnished
by the Uhl string band under the lead
ership of DR.. Uhl who is well known as
first class musician, and the music
rendered was a credit to him, and his
associates. The committee OF manage
ment was Mrs. Dunkley, Mrs Hemstedt,
Mrs. Steele, Mrs. DR. Uhl, Mrs. Lapish,
and Mrs. Pomeroy. The whole affair
was grand success both financially
and socially. Among the most promin-
ent citizens present were the Messrs.
VIM. Grant, DIR. Addleman Jas. Chip
man Senr., A. X. Thornton, J. Prybill
of the Independent, G. Greenwood, II.
Hemstead, G. Armstrong, Jos Lapish,
H. Thompson, and Mr.. Dunkley and q
goodly number from Lehi. The dance
was kept until about a. m. when all re-
tired satisfied with their evenings en-
tertainment.
A Democratic rally was held in Am.
Fork on Saturday in the Theatre Hall.
Judge Mercer called the meeting to or
der after which Jos. Lapish was elected
chairman and Jas. Chapman Jr. secre-
tary. The following speakers were in
troduced to the meeting w. II. King,
Mr.Kellogg and w. II. Brown of Provo.
The first speaker was Mr. King who
dwelt at length on the tariff question,
He was followed by W. II. Brown who
expounded the benefits that were to be
derived from Democracy after which a
fine discourse was given by Mr.. Kellos
who was greatly applauded. Many
expressed a wish to hear him again.
A Club was formed and the following
officers appointed: J. Lapish Pres,
Judge Mercer Vice-president, Jas. Chip
man Jr. Sec. and Len Harrington
Treas.
A committee was appointed to get
the names OF all who wished to join the
Club.
A grand gala day was enjoyed at the
Lake Resort, on Wednesday. The Pro.
vo steamboat was present. and every
hour landed her freight and took or
board a new load for a pleasant cruize
for an hour at the rate OF 25c. per head
and by what | could hear was well
patronized. Surely this must be a
money-making business for the venture
The boat was only built short time age
expressly for pleasure parties on the
Utah Lake. 1t has a fair capacity Of
speed and in everyday much superior
TO the old steamboat that was used foI
the same purpose last year. Bathing
swimming and other amusements went or
till the evening when all that wished
had a chance 70 turn the fantastic toe
to the music engaged for the occasion
the dance was kept up to near midnight
and altogether good time was spent.
II has been suggested by severa
citizens that in holding the 4th July
Celebration that the whole three settle,
ments American Fork, Lehi, and Plea
SAINT Grove should cooperate, and MAKE
one grand demonstration. Pleasan
Grove marching TO the Fork and falling
into procession proceed 10 Lahi and the
three make the day onto be remem
bered. We believe this wonld be a gooC
; idea, ii the committees OF the differen
? settleme nts were to make some arrange
ments between them, and provide for th,
! one grand object. We think that il some
thing Of this kind were done it woulC
, make a grand success OF the nationa
5 commemoration.
An accident that might have been att
ended with more serious consequences
happened near Battlecreek last Monday
While the men were going along on the
hand car with a number of steel rail-
for the gang OF men employed, som,
projecting fish plates threw the car OF
e the track seriously injuring one maj
/ and bruising others. The most injure,
t were taken home by Mr.. Harry Lee o
5 the Fork who happened to be passing
at the time. We learn his Injuries ar,
not very serious and that he will b
bout again in a little time.
