THE OGDEN TRAGEDY.

IF the facts are as they have been
stated, it is not at all probable that the
Ogden boy who shot his father I'm de-
Tense of his mother viii be convicted
of murder. The story is that the
father, in a fit of drunken rage, at
tackled the mother with a knife. The
boy interfered and was in turn at
tackled. Then he fred one shot, the
bullet passing through the mans
brain and killing him.
The tragedy is a terrible one to con-
template; the necessity for it, If ne
cessity there was, is even more terri
BILE. A mans life has been taken, a
boys life ruined. a home broken and
darkened forever. No matter whether
or not the courts say the boy was JUS
tilted, no matter how hard he reasons
with himself, he will never again be
at peace with himself There will
hardly be an hour in his life when
some thought of the tragedy Will not
be in his mind.
And at the bottom of the story, or
rather at the beginning. is whisky. If
Joseph Checketts, the father, had been
a sober man, if he had never touched
whisky, he would not be ready for the
grave today, killed by his own son;
if Checketts had let whisky alone the
boy would not walk through life with
haunting recollection of a terrible
scene in a little home when, to save
his mother, he shot down his own
father. The greatest lesson in the
tragedy is the lesson of temperance.
At a fearful cost to themselves the
Checketts have given an example and
a warning that should prove a deter
rent to others.
