he had shot, and how he eVaded the new
SO license fee which New Jersey exacts

mean game and did my level best to get

The case Of the Ogden youth who was
wantonly murdered by a footpad last
week was a particularly heartbreaking
tragedy. There was no excuse for the
killing of that boy. 1t was as malicious,
deliberate and coldblooded a murder as
has ever found place in the criminal
annals of Utah. and if the murderer
can be captured and the crime proven
against him, it almost seems that a
lynching would be justihabie.
