Weather talk and social plans loom in Wasatch Wave notes
The Wasatch Wave reports a 3 o'clock water meeting west Saturday and notes rapid weather changes, drying roads, and farming optimism. It covers social events like the Calico Ball, Decoration Day plans, and a grand Social Hall ball, plus local gossip on Robt Reynolds and Provo visitors. The piece also records John Glenn’s Provo visit, a horse incident, and S Jacobson & Company selling bankrupt stock near Worlman’s Hotel. It ends with Thomas Austin’s defiling case and an appeal filed in Justice Duncan’s court.
