[Abraham H. Cannon]
We had considerable talk over the conditions existing here, and felt that everything is moving along satisfactorily. The change in sentiment towards our people is exhibited in the fact that ex-Marshal F[rank] H. Dyer called Heber J. Grant out of a [Salt Lake] Herald Directors' meeting a few days ago, and told him that one of his plural wives had been located in this city by the deputies, and said, "For G-d's sake, get her away, Grant, for we can't afford to have the Vice-President of this company arrested for violating the law." Heber did get her away.
