Jan. 21, 1892-Jones Raises Exceptions
In answer to Mr. Hendry's and others challenges for long
races Mr. Hendry came to Mr. Jones in person and asked
him the longest distance that he would race. Jones said ten
miles. Hendry then gave Jones his word as a gentlemen
that he would not challenge him for a longer race. Hendry
then broke his promise and challenged Jones for a twelve hour
or a four day race. Jones claims to be an athlete and runner
and claims the championship of Utah for both running and skat-
ing from one to ten miles and that he positively will not ac-
cept a challenge for a longer race, and can get any amount of
money to back him for the above distances. Jones further
states that he will not recognize any more challenges from any-
body unless their challenges were backed by a forfeit.
Furthermore, Mr. Cook will positively not allow any races run
in the rink to last more than an hour and the above parties
were aware of the fact.
Jan. 22, 1892-Hendry's Reply to Jones
The exceptions that Jones raises ? standard this morning, I ?
my duty to reply and have a ? errors that are made corrected. ?
at place I deny ever going to ? telling him I would not chall-
enge ? for a long race. In the next ? states Mr. Cook will
not allow racing to last over one hour in ? but talks as though
he would ? ten miles, which I say ? do in one hour; and I have
a ? put up if he wants to take it. ? remember that he did not
? six or seven miles instead of ten ? ran with Hendry at
the rink. ? other places to run outside of ? I am willing to
run anyone that ? Cook's rink at that time for a ? and from
twelve hours up. He ? all the forfeit he wants.

Feb. 12, 1892-Not Yet Satisfied
Although Jones was beaten in the ten mile race on Tuesday he is
not satisfied. He now desires to meet Olmstead and
Hendry for $100 a side and $25 have been put up as forfeit.
He wants the race run inside of three weeks. If not accepted,
the challenge will be open to any man in Utah. The backer, if
necessary, will put up $1,000 a side on the race.

Mar. 26, 1893-A Surprise Party
Mr. and Mrs. H. Porter were happily surprised by a few of their
many friends at their present home in West Ogden on Tuesday
last. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. M. Hendry, Mr. and
Mrs. E. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Dell Dalton, Mr. and Mrs. Ned
Seager, Miss Laura Webb, Miss Etta Hendry, John
Williams, R. Seager.
That popular game "High 5" was indulged in, enlivened by some
fine selections of vocal music. At midnight a dainty luncheon
was served, after which all departed, feeling highly pleased
with the entertainment of so charming a hostess as Mrs. Porter.
Dec. 17, 1893-The Police Court
The Sunday haul of the police consisted of Frank Shirley and
Thomas Wilson, two vags, Otto Thomas for carrying concealed
weapons, and L.P. Murray for assault to do great bodily harm.
His Honor puffed leisurely at a Colorado Rail Splitter, when
the chimes from the joint building at Salt Lake, announced the
hour of ten. Officer Bowman cleared the deck and walked Frank
Shirley and Thomas Wilson across the gangway into the main
cabin of the police court.
The pair were seedy looking ducks. The left eye of each wors a
decorated appearance which Shirley explained was received in a
boxing bout at the Bells of Shandan in Salt Lake.
They were charged with vagrancy pending an examination into
certain grocery transactions which the poor must have been en-
gaged in, as they were picked-up in lower 28th Street trying to
dispose of some shoulders of pork which they insisted were
hams. Each gazed at his honor with unflinching fortitude out
of the uninjured eye as he denied ever being on 28th Street or
selling shoulders, hams, or anything at all. A glistening tear
gathered in each of the blackened eyes as Judge Bagley gave
them ten days in the gang.
Otto Thomas was formerly a waiter in good repute at the
Reed. His fondness for shooting craps and looking upon the
cider when it is hard cost him his position. While at the ho-
tel he used to "monkey" with one of the dishwashers, William
Hendry, and their joking sometimes took a serious turn.
Otto was in the street Saturday night, and as tips had not been
coming in any too plentiful, he found himself without the price
to buy a hot tamale. He met Hendry and struck him for a
nickel, which was given to him. Otto then got festive and want-
ed more dough; upon Hendry's refusal, the young darkey
drew an ugly looking back spring knife and threatened to send
him to Nirvanna double quick if he didn't dig up. Officer
Murray took a hand about that time and in about two minutes
Otto was viewing the furniture in the city jail.
He explained to Judge Bagley that he was joking with Hendry
as oft he had done, but the subject of the joke couldn't see
it that way and testified that Otto was about to slash him when
the officer arrived. And that's how Otto Thomas got 30 days
with the boys on the gang.
