BY ]. FRANK PICKERING

Their fathers had fought and suffered
in those wars that had firmly estab-
lished our independence and, true to
their instincts, they lost their feelings
OF sectionalism and isolation when
they reached the Great Salt Lake val
ley, raised the Stars and Stripes on
Mexican soil. and gave their allegiance
first and always 10 the government OF
the United States.
The most prominent family names
in the state are the same as those at
tachcd TO the "Mayflower Compact"
And he same thrift, intelligence, sim
cerify and common sense which char
actcrized the Pilgrims were funda-
mental qualities OF the Utah pioneers.
Both developed society Of brother
hood and equality and a love for civil
and religious liberty. And the de-
scendan,s OF the Poneers consider the
civilization OF today--the liberties and
free institutions which we enjoy--the
very hopes and aspirations that lead
10 higher and nobler endeavor. as a
priceless inheritance direct from the
Pilgrim .4thers.

Barrow was a stranger in the COM

told some of the neighbors that the
Negro had attacked white woman.
As is usually the case, no efforts were
