The Evening dispatch. [volume] (Provo, City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1895-03-29

In the First District court today the
case of the First National BanS of
MORRISON. ILL.,. We. j. w. Smith ct al.
was dismissed without prejudice.
ALL of the jurors on the panel now
serving in the First District court are
incensed at the Enquirer for asserting
IS it did last night that the jurors who
sat on the Sims Duggins gambling
case have each been presented with a
bottle of whisky for acquiUting Dug
gins. The twelve of the panel who sat
on the case are emphatic in saying that
the Enquirer tells a blankety blank lie.
The .DIsPATCH has been asked to say
this and more for them. There are
those upon fhe panel who cay that the
Enquirer presented the jurors who &C.
quilted it at Nephi in the libel suit
brought against it by r. r. Irvine of
this city, each with a years subscrip-
ton to the rag free, and that if the
Jurors had accepted bottle of whisky
from Duggins, which they have not.
and that whisky had been Duggins
poorest brand they would have accept
ed something not half SO rotten as the
Nephl Jurors accepted from the En-
quirer.

JIM GLOVE has once again under
taken to make figures and the records
lie and as usual has gotten his big foot
in it. In the Tribune tnis morning he
says: "Under Marshal Brown, in
democratic administration, the police
department cost from Nov. 1, 1891 to
Nov. IL, 1892, S., sos 80. The first year
of Marshal Knights service in the
police department cost only $1.247.55 :"
If that were all true it would be saying
nothing to Marshal knights credit,
for during his first year In Office Mar
shall Knight aud his police force did
absolutely nothing but quarrel among
themselves and bring upon Provo a
mighty disgrace. While that popular
young democratic officer, Johnny
Brown, was marshal OF Provo, the city
was kept practically free. from crime
and Provo was indeed model city;
now 1t is .overrun with fakers, gam
blers and various other law breakers.
OF course the police department. cost
more in 1891. 1t was boom times then
and there was need of heaYier police
force; five men were employed then
where two are employed now. and
then again Marshal Brown made the
Office pay for itself. In 1891, 425 ar
rests were made and So, SO o.54 in fines
collected. Marshal Knight has failed
to collect in fines or in benefit to the
city in any way near half what the de-
partmenU has cost the city under his
charge. Look up the records jim ME
before you write again.
