Pat Marine Claims Young Hoodlums
Were Abusing Him.

Pat Marine. a character well known
to the police. made an assault on 12-
year-old Edgar Folsom. who lives at
362 South First West street last even
ing. He had the boy down on the side
walk near the postoffice and. according
to eye witnesses, was beating him ter
ribly when James Kelly of IS West
First South interfered and made him
desist. Officer Randolph arresfed Ma
rne and locked him up for assault and
battery. He claims that the boy was
calling him names. and that further
forbearance would have been crime.
He informed Uncle Abe" too. that he
couldn't lock him up unless he got a
search warrant. Marines brother COM
planned to the police several days ago
that young hoodlums tantalized the
man continually. and there is believed
to- be scsne truth in it. On this ocea-

PUNTs AND PASSES.
Ogden High School Game With the
Local High School Called Off.

The Ogden High school team, follow
ing the example of its Salt Lake
| friends has called off the game that il
| nad arranged with Salt Lake High
school lads. This leaves the local boys
without game in sight for the future,
with the exception of the proposed
1 Colorado trip. Manager Leonard of the
High School team is in despair of ever
getting game with any local school
team. He says that it is all right for
them to play among themselves, but
that every time he approaches them
Tor game with his team, they always
nave some excuse ready to give him.
he is inclined to think that there is a
considerable amount of fear intermixed
with the liberal sprinkling of excuses
AT any rate, the holding off of the
school teams from playing the High
school has that appearance.
A letter was received yesterday by
Manager AXton of the Y: NJ c. A from
X. G. Carrin, manager of the Denver
Athletic club team, stating that the
schedule of the Denver club is COM
plete and that it would be impossible
FOR them TO arrange a game with the
locals either in Denver or in this city.
This comes as quite a disappointment
10 the Christians. for they have been
looking forward to the game with a
great deal of anticipation With the
exception of the game with Butte. it
was the only chance that they had to
test their strength with an eleven of
recognized standing in the football
world. 1t is quite probable that the
game that was postponed by the Dem
yer Wheel club will be arranged for in
the near future and the Christians may
have chance after all to play with a
Denver eleven The Wheel club team is
the one that gave the Ogdenites such
sound drubbing a short time ago. AK

the Denverites. they will be able to

or four of its best men were quite badly
