THE WASHER" MASHED.
Rcprehensiblc Conduct of Young
Huodiluns on Streets of Ogden.

ogden, May 12.--Arresting one man
on a charge and allowing another
who committed a graver crime to 60
is u record made by the police Sun
day night in dealing with ''mashers."
This inconsistent action has been COM
mented upon freely by those who wit
messed the various acts i'm the farce.
The first case was that of a young
chap by the name of Harry Craig who
is alleged to have made some remark
to a young lady member of the linn
TraNesty company as she was passing
one of the principal street corners in
the city where the gay young mash
ers" are wont TO congrcgate. Miss
Mansfield, who was addressed by Craig,
paid no attention to the young fellows
advances but continued on down the
street, but Andy Budezlene, stage man
ager of the company who was follow
ing closely behind heard the remark
and walked over to Craig who was with
friend named Walter Wilson and
asked him how he would like to have
a similar remark addressed to his sis
ter.
Craig resented the remarks of Bud
ezlene by making some further COM
ment about women of the stage. The
words We're no sooner out of the
young mans mouth than two straight
blows to the face from the fist of the
theatrical man sent the fellow spraw-
ling over a bicycle rack. Budezlene, ac-
companied by other members of tue
company. then continued on his way
to u restaurant and the crestfallen
nasher picked himself UP and went
to drinking fountain where he wash
ed the blood from his face. He then
gathered a number of his friends to-
gether and proceeded to the restaurant
