bate Court Matters.

Salt lake contributed one wild and wayward
child TO the reform school at Ogden yesterday,
and Tooele county followed suit The first is a
girl of about fifteen years OF age, whose name at
the request of her mother who is nearly heart
broken over the actions of her daughter, is
withheld. She is pale, slight blonde, but has
adogged expression, and during the examina-
ton before Judge Anderson last evening, be-
trayed not the slightest emotion, as her father
and her mother recounted her many acts that
showed surprising lack of tilial affection. Her
last escapade, and the one that led TO her SEN
tence was the tkeft of a small sum of money.
Her father stated that the girl was absolutely
beyond his or his wifeS control; that she had
been threatened with incarceration in the re
form school, but only laughed at the idea, re-
marking that no one could make her otherwise
than she was. Lately, too, she had become very
much enamored with one Of the conductors OF
the electric cars, and came home at whatever
hour she pleased. The mother OF the glrl testl
fed TO the same state of facts, and the Judge or
dered that she be confined in the reform school
, until she attained her majority.
K A BAD BOY IRON TooELE.
Fred Gamble, bad boy from Tooele. who
gave his age as sixteen although he looked at
least five years older, was brought in on
Wednesday evening by Deputy Cannon, and
later in the day appeared before Judge Zane to
plead to an indictment charging him with grand
larceny, in that he had stolen an iron-grey
mare, the property Of William Knighton.
Gamble, who has a rather intelligent counter
ance beneath a shaggy name, stepped promptly
forward when his name was called, and as
promptly entered a plea OF guilty to the charge.
The Judge-You understand that you are
placing yourself in a condition, whereby you
may be sent to the penitenttary for a term Of
years.
Gamble-Yes, sir.

The Judge-What are the circumstances, Mr..
Mckay.

county. He is an orphan, and has no one TO
look after him. Some time ago. having TO go
short journey, he picked up stray horse, and
several days later it was found in his possession.
He has been allowed TO run wild, and has had
no educational advantages. II it can be con
sistently done, l would suggest that he be sent
10 the reform school instead of the penitentiary.

THE CASE AGAINST HANDY.
John B. Handy, otherwise known as ''Sfm,"
pleaded guilty TO the charge Of breaking into the
ticket office OF the Salt Lake station of the Utah
Central. He spoke feelingly, we will not say
truthfully, about this being his first onense that
he hoped to lead different life in tie futul and
wound up his artless tale by informing the court
and spectators that he was only seventeen
years old. He then begged to be sent TO the re-
form school instead of the penitentiary The
a a
evidently harassed with doubts about the truth
OF Handy'S statement concerning his age, and
said he did not care to send hardened criminal
among lot of young people whom the territory
was making an effort TO reform Mr.. Mckay
informed the judge that he had reason TO be-
heve that Handy was wanted IN Colorado for
murder. Sentence was deferred until January
9, 1896.
Sheriff Burt is almost positive that Handy
and his partner Leland are both wanted in Den
yer for the murder of policeman about a year
ago.
Charles Leland, Handy's partner, entered a
plea Of not guilty 10 the same charge.
