August 1908 Grand Junction, Colorado "What was beyond the shadow of a doubt one of the biggest yellow stories ever perpetrated upon the people of Grand Junction by a local newspaper was embodied this morning in a rankly sensational and largely untrue account of an alleged holdup, appearing in the morning paper. Naturally, such a story cast a reflection upon the city itself, gives out tlie impression that it is dangerous to venture out at night in Grand Junction and gives people an unnecessary fear for their safety. While there has been an occasional holdup in Grand Junction within the past few years, and one of not far distant date; still there has been none possessing such sensational features as were given by the morning paper to the holdup said to have occurred on Thursdny night. Here are the opening paragraphs of the wild story published under cross-page headlines in the morning paper:
“Waylaid by three highwaymen, beaten almost to deatli and robbed of a small amount of money which he was carrying Fred Ullery, aged 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Ullery and one of the most popular young men in the city, was found lying unconscious in a pool of his own blood on the porch of his home, 648 Ouray, shortly before 11 o'clock Thursday night. 'The boy had been assaulted a short time before while returning to his residence, and, although not completely knocked out. he was able to crawl on his hands and knees to the door of his home, where he sank into unconsciousness and remained in that state for more than twenty-four hours. His condition being such as to cause grave fears for his ultimate recovery. Then the paper goes on to say that Ullery had been to a theater with a young lady, was returning home and found some men following them. The girl's father tried to get Ullery to spend the night at the home in order to be safe from the men, but the young man insisted on returning to his home, and was accompanied a few blocks by the girl's father. They parted at Eighth and Grand. Ullery took the older man's revolver and started home. Then the morning paper says that this happened: “Almost directly opposite the residence of C. D. Smith three men leaped out behind the boy. He was struck a terrific blow in the hack of the head and fell to the sidewalk, where he wsis set upon again, kicked in the stomach and in the head until he was in a terrible condition.
“Although not completely unconscious, the boy managed to drag himself over a block to his home, where he lost consciousness while trying to reach the door.
“A short time later the boy's fsither and others in the house, attracted by the moaning on the front porch, went outside to find him bleeding and unconscious, his pockets turned inside out, showing that he had been robbed.
“He was taken inside and Dr. Eldrldge was immediately summoned. The physician worked from 11 o’clock until 2 in the morning trying to resuscitate the youth, but to no avail, and late last night young Ullery had just regained consciousness, but was in a delirious state. He mumbled incoherently, but so far has been able to tell nothing of the affair.”
From careful investigations made by The Sentinel, from what could be learned from people most capable of giving the details and true facts, and from the general circumstances themselves, The Sentinel is in a position to prove the story of the morning paper to be almost wholly without foundation, a bloody, sensational story meant to alarm and excite people and which is certain to hurt the town if left unchallenged. Fred Ullery may have been held up Thursday night. However, these facts are indisputable: Fred Ullery was not beaten up by holdups or anybody else. There was not a scratch, bruise, or any other kind of injury of tne most minute nature on his body. He was not found on the porch of the Ullery home in an unconscious condition or in a pool of blood. He was not seriously injured; he did not crawl to his home on his hands and knees, and he was not taken into his home in an unconscious condition. If reports received by The Sentinel are true, he walked home, retired as usual, then called members of his family and said that he had been set upon by footpads. The physicans who were called did not find young Ullery in a dangerous condition, and there was nothing to indicate that he had been terribly beaten and assaulted. Young Ullery was not unconscious for twenty-four hours. He was able to he up yesterday. Young Ullery was not found bleeding and unconscious by the family on the doorstep. At no time during the past 48 hours has young Ullery been in a critical condition from any cause, and from all accounts he was perfectly rational all last evening. Fred Ullery may have been set upon by footpads and he may not have been. No complaint was made to the police; no complaint was made to the sheriff, and no complaint has yet been made or will be made - an unusual thing in a holdup case. Fred Ullery was on the streets of the city today, apparently as well as usual, and was joked by many friends concerning the great holdup story in the morning paper. Such sensational stories as these, published locally under flaring headlines, and sent to other papers in the state, are the worst kind of advertisements for Grand Junction, and call forth the indignation of all right-minded citizens. If young Ullery was stopped by three men and attacked, but not hurt in the least, why should a paper, claiming to be respectable and reliable, add such flaring, flagrant, and false details in order to weave out the story?"

August 1910 "H. G. Ullery and family leave today for Deßeque where they will make their future home and where Mr. Ullery has accepted a position with a nursery company at that place."


December 1911 Grand Junction, Colorado "J. F. Ullery, who has been visiting his brother, H. G. Ullery, and family for the past week, left this afternoon for his home in Pomona, Cal., where he is engaged in business. His nephew, Fred Ullery, came down the first of the week from Meeker, where he has been for several months and he will spend the remainder of his vacation here with his relatives and friends."

April 1912 Grand Junction "The inauguration of an auto bus between the Argyle house and the union depot is one of the contemplated features E. N. Spencer expects to add to the service of his newly purchased hostelry. The new car, which will probably be installed during the next few months. will meet all trains and do a general hack and cab business as well.
Mrs. H. G. Ullery has been placed in charge of the Argyle as manager, and Mr. Spencer expects to make his house one of the best in the entire city. Other new improvements are being considered and wil be announced later."
