Charles and Harold Parkenson. C. S. Stout, 2635 Lafayette avenue, an Ogden barber, went to Sheriu Peterson's office Sunday after returning re-turning from a pleasure iide into Ogden Og-den Valley and exhibited hi suit and his wife's suit, both of them brand new, and his automobile, all of which had received an obnoxious spattering of rotten eggs alleged to have been delivered by these boys. Mr. Stout said the boys had placed a line across the road and had tied eggs to it, hung from strings, so that the automobllists automobll-ists could not avoid striking them as they rode along the road. His windshield wind-shield was open, he said, and the eggs had broken on the framework and the glass and on the persons of himself and wife and other occupants of the car, and literally rulned their clothes. Other tricks the boys are alleged to have perpetrated included fixing card board with large nails and burying the card board under the sand of the road so that the nails protruded and caught automobile tires. Numerous complaints have been made to the sheriff on this latter score. Sheriff Peterson said if the boys are caught they probably will be turned over to the juvenile court with the recommendation that they be fined enough to make them realize the gravity grav-ity of what they callqd fun. |
