Out-of-State Crimes
10 cases out of twenty reported in 1880 out of state; 13 cases out of forty out of state in 1900.
In 1880: Four involving assault and drunkenness as inter-linked charges; one involving murder and drunkenness; three involving selling liquour without a license. One involving drunkenness in public. No local connections held.
In 1900: Two cases of drunkenness in public; one case involving assault and drunkenness; remainder in state. One crime had a local connection to Salt Lake City that occured in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1900--it involved a preacher whose sermons were lectured while inebriated. His congregation accused him of this, and a mob assembled and this ultimately led to complaints filed against him--no mention of arrest but he was ejected from the church. He was originally from Salt Lake City before moving to Grand Rapids.
The out of state crimes reported are more comprised of assault and drunkenness reported, seemingly characterizing much concerning alcohol as 'instigating' violence or accelrating it. The second highest frequency of crimes reported, was selling liquour without a license or circulating such. In terms of style of reporting, there is more sensationalism in these out of state crimes than there is terms of in-state ones--'scandal' is more emphasized in terms of people participating in drunken rows, or certainly with respected members in the community engaging in these crimes (such as Preacher Maynard in the public drunkenness case--a man originally from salt Lake City).
