An incident which occurred on the
Short Line train coming to this city
Friday evening showed how high and
strong the patriotic feellng is running
at this time. On board the cars were
10 or 20 members of the Salt Lake
Opera company returning from Logan
and just as the. train was pulling out
from Ogden a gentleman entered the
car where the singers were seated and
eXcitedly announced that Mckinley
had recalled Minister WoodfOrd from
Madrid and Consul General Lee from
Havana There was excitement in the
car at once. Someone shouted sing
America and Immediately the strains
of "Our Country tits of Thee" arose
from the opera people, While everyone
in the car. which was crowded. joined
in. Immediately afterwards 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner was struck up and
the verses rendered by everyone, a
shout of "Hurrah" going up after the
closing verse The whole trainload of
people was on the qui vive of expect
ancy when the train reached Salt Lake,
and only the announcement in the even
ing paper correcting the war rumors,
cooled their ardor down.
