Tho crossings or Washington avenue and Twenty-fourth and Twenly-flftW streets offer to any observer seenos'of excitement and danger nearly every hour of every day, and it is really a very reasonable and well-founded expectation ex-pectation that one or more persons will be kined on tho streets of Ogden, through fast driving, before tho close of thin day. Will the peace officers try to prevent it? (Signed) Volnes C. Gunnell. ' SPEEDING AUTOMOBILES AND OTHER VEHICLES. There is a growing demand for a better control of the speed of wagons and automobiles driven along the fctrcetB of this city. The following letter is one of many protests: To The Standard: I see b- the morning paprrs that another man has been run down and nearly killed bv horee and wagon In the hands of a fast driver.

I have wondered why people who get Injured on the streets do not cause the arrest of the persons who cause the Injury, and sue for damages In tho case of a very old person or very young person being Injured or killed the latter has frequently happened hap-pened I have wondered why the relatives rel-atives or friends did not go to tho elty attorney and county attorney and insist upon prosecution of the guilty persons.
