The Evening dispatch. [volume] (Provo, City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1894-11-15
THE man Myers had his preliminary

That is, the commissioner said he was
to be held, and liked the amount Of
the bond at 500 90; but there was no
officer in court when the decision was
made and the judge omitted I'd remand
Myers to the custody of an officer and
the prisoner after walking about the
streets for while ana then seeing that
he was not sbeing detained, quietly
walked away. He was not to be found
last evening. It is doubtful if a grand
Jury will indict with the evidence to
be had against the fellow. At the
time Ny ers parted with MS bad money,
on the evening Of November 7th,
he was so bedstly drunk that he did
not know what he was doing; In fac
be was in such condition that it was
utterly impossible for him to form
any intent TO fraud. 1t seems
that he has had with him for couple
of years some eight or ten dollars OF
counterfeit money. On the seventh he
was paid $4,000 by Mr.. Bullock of this
city, balance due him for heriing sheep.
He got portion of this money changed
and this change with the bad money
was mixed together, and that is the
most suspicious and discriminating clr-
cumStan2e connected with the case,
The natural inference being that the
man mixed the coins with the inten-
ton of passing them with the good.
But the bartender who took forty-fve
cents of the bad money testified that
be took it out of pile OF good and bad
money, selecting the bad to have it
merely as curiosity. The man was so
drunk that he could have taken any
amount of the money for the drinks,
good or bad, without interference by.
or knowledge OF Myers. The bartend-
er was not defrauded. Neither was
Wilson or Lewis who asked the fellow
for change and each of whom picked
two bad half dollars from his pile and
kept them without giving him in eX
change any other money, good or
bad. Myers seems to have no recol-
lections Whatever OF these transactions.

Fork died at his home on Sunday even
ing and was inferred at that place yes
terday The funeral services we're held
neighb0rS bore testimony to his good
ness of heart and faithfulness of duty.

age at the time of his death, and leaves
a wife and several grown sons and
daughters.

The street railway system of Provo
is really thing of the past. Today
the dummy appeared on Center street
pushing all the rolling stock and in
front of all We're some fat cars pre-
pared for the reception of the rails.
Thus goes up in dust many thousands
of the money of contiding but unwise
men and women whom John w,
Young cajoled into his wicked scheme
of progress IN few years since. MOL
city having less than Is, 1000 people can |
support line of street railway, and to |
make money there should be $4,000. |
The old togies are not all found in the |
rear. There are good many of them
go in advance. The same amount OF
money which this street railway cost. |
invested in starch factory, vinegar
factory, a canning factory or in another
wooden mill, or almost anything else,
would be live money today and paying
dividends. But so 1t is. We can't all
be lucky.

berry is to be deputy in the recorders
