The Evening dispatch. [volume] (Provo, City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1894-05-28

TIE following excerpt from the
Grand Junction News, a staunch re-
publican paper with which we have
mad many a political and professional
tilt, is in strong contrast with the
course of local as we'll as a certain
Grand Junction cotemp0rary: "Col.
John l.. Barlow and wife, now of the
Provo DISPATCH. but formerly proprie-
tor of the Grand Junction Star, were
guests OF Mr.. and Mrs. Benton Cannon
on last Saturday. AS usual, the col
onel appeared happy and prosperous,
and judging from the advertising COL
umns of The DISPATCH, he must be
doing very well indeed. He still mas
great expectations for Grand Junction
and Grand Valley and is well content
to hold his property interests here"
AT a meeting OF the executive COM
mittee of the U. G. I. A held in this
city on Saturday last, it WAS decided to
hold the commencement day exercises
for all the schools in ,he county,
awarding certificates, etc, IN this city
on Friday. June Sth. The higher grades
of the Provo city schools will JOIN Win
| the schools of the county. There will
be forty graduates from the county
schools and twenty from the CITY
schools. Each district will supply one
or more numbers of the program which
assures it in advance to be an eXcep-
tlOnaliY interesting one. E, a. Wilson
of this city will deliver the address 30
the students, and efforts are to be
made to secure the attendance OF Gov
ernor West upon the exercises,
IT is wonderful the changed tone Of
the Provo wealer sympatniZers, alders
and abbettOrs, since the finding of the
indictments against five of their mum
Der. 1t is almost impossible now to
find one man who admits that he was
on the grounds near the depot on May
18th, during the trouble, and those who
do admit being there on that day say
that they never said or did anything
that would even tend to incite riot and
deny that they heard anyone say or do
anything ous OF the way. The men
who are indicted now say that they
were anxious to see the Wealers get out
of our city and were mad at Superin-
tendent Welby for stopping them.
They did not oppose the officers at all.
!, They are now highly in praise of what
was done by them and say that they
did their duty that day bravely, fear
lessIy and well. The whole populace
is beginning to get the scales of pref
udice lifted from their eyes and to see
, and realize that our peace officers that
day acted wisely and would have been
censurable had they acted otherwise. The
Enquirer, however, still looks through
its spectacles which are darkened with
the smoke of partisan prejudices, Tn
!, doubtedly it will this very evening
call our officers towards.
