Besides a hold-up a burglary AID a
fatal shooting all in one night during
the races, besides a number of petty
crimes, Ogden is experiencing such
cases as the following:

the city and his wife and babies be-
cause he is unable to face the almost
certain disgrace that would overtahe

and the couple were paying for a lit
tie home of their own.

other officials allowed to be set for
him and others like him-for a price.

on whom 1t lays a fearful tax.
And whatever the city gets out of
it, the grocers and butchers and other
legitimate tradespeople will have to
make up from their pockets. And how
much VIII the city have left anyhow

penses are counted out?
