Ogdcn Brevities. Special to Tho Tribune. OGDEN, Jan. 7. Judgment by default was cutercd In tho District court Tuesday Tues-day for $2000 and attorneys' fees against Anna and Sarah Magulre In favor of R. T. Harris. Tho action was brought on a note secured by a mortgage. James Holly, who appeared al tho po-llco po-llco station several evenings ago claiming claim-ing that he had lately beon serving a term on the chain gang In Salt Lake and was given a ticket to Ogden by the police po-lice department of the former city, was. taken to his homo Tuesday morning by his father, who arrived rrom Rawlins. Wyo., Tuesday. Holly's mind Is affected to some extent. He was recently an Inmate In-mate of tho insane asylum at Provo. I Uncle Sam's army recruiting station in j this city Is doing 0. rushing business. , Thirty-five enlistments during the month of December and seven applications already al-ready filed this month show that a large number aro availing themselves of an opportunity op-portunity to make a living and display their patriotism. Prior to November, 1007. tho enlistment record shows there were only thirty-four recruits accepted at Ogdcn Og-dcn during fifteen months. At the home of his father. John E. Taylor. Tay-lor. James Taylor, 17 years old. died at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning from typhoid 1 fover. The death Is peculiarly sad, as less than three weeks ago tho lad's sis-tor sis-tor died from the same disease, and two other children are lying ill at home suffering suf-fering from the dreaded malady. ! It is probable that the branch house I of the Simmons Hardware company of I St. Louis located In this city will not bu j abandoned as was announced some time ago. Manager Stewart says ho has received re-ceived no instructions to this effect, and j can not tell what action, If tiny, will be 1 taken. About 10 per cent reduction In the wages of truckmen and other laborers around tho Union depot is another evidence evi-dence of the retrenchment policy adopted by all of the railroads.
