Article 2
The Brigham Bugler
Brigham City, UT
January 17, 1891
Page 1; Column 2
Night Watchman Baird has tenderly fondled nineteen trampies [sic] since the sixth, but deported themselves well ate lots of our cities choices vituals [sic] and were let loose without having been compelled to strike 'a lick' for this city or their country. The city should require these smooth-tongue meeks to at least do enough to pay their meals.
(Note: I tried goggling some of the words that are in these articles to get a clearer definition of what the newspaper was saying, but they are terms not listed. If you know or find a definition please let me know.
I'm thinking trampies [sic] is slang for homeless travelers.
Victuals--Food or other provisions. Shelley)
