Today in Wyoming history: In 1868, a riot occurred in Bear City, a town about ten miles southeast of Evanston that sprung up as a result of the railroad. The Bear River City Riot was a conflict between parties who supported a lynched murder suspect and those who favored the lynching. There was serious destruction in the town, and 16 people died. The cavalry was dispatched from Ft. Bridger to restore order.
Bear River City, now a ghost town, existed from 1867 to 1868.

Returning to the 4A State Volleyball Championships in Casper for the first time since the 2020 season, the EHS volleyball team posted a 0-2 record, though both matches were 5-set thrillers that had fans on the edge of their seats.
The Lady Devils opened the tournament Thursday against No. 1-seed Laramie, almost pulling the upset in the most entertaining match of the day. Evanston won sets one (25-18) and three (25-21), but fell short in the 5th-set tiebreaker, 15-6.
Against Sheridan in loser-out action Friday, the Lady Devils battled back from an 0-2 deficit to win sets three and four, forcing a fifth set. It was back and forth from the jump, with the Lady Broncs edging out Evanston 18-16 to take the hard-fought match.
Thanks for a great season, Lady Devils!

With a 57% turnout, voters in Uinta County sided against the proposal with 3,611 votes against and 1,566 votes for the countywide improvements. Read more in this week’s Uinta County Herald.
