This is an interesting encounter with Oscar Gutke, some "newsie" boys on the streets of Ogden, and their dog (whose demise did not turn out well, by the way).

This article also explains Oscar's side of the story, with one difference: "Meanwhile, the young fellow who had slipped past me, rushed up and was kicking my shins" instead of "shoved me suddenly in the back." Interesting! Who changed what?
