ALICE REED IN BEIOTT.
Little Girl Glad to Go to RefOrmatory
Institution.

Little Alice Reed, the fourteen
year-old girl of 1912 Monroe street,
who has been under the surveillance
of the juvenile court for some time,
has been taken to the industrial school
at Beloit by Mrs. Thorp, police matron.
1t was thought that the girl would
reform her conduct and escape the
term in the indstrial school but she
CHANGED to meet a, girl from Solomon
City, giving the name of Grace John
son, who enticed her into following
her around over her circuit-to Sa-
lima, Junction City, Fort Riley, Solo
mon and a number of other towns
many of the stopping places in which
she pointed out to the matron during
the trip to Beloit-
This johnson girl is the same whose
fare home to Solomon was furnished
by Mrs. Robson, who visited the prison
last Sunday. Upon leaving the prison
the johnson girl had told Alice that
she would be on hand to get her at
Solomon when they should change
cars. If she failed there she had in
structed Alice how to run away from
the escort at Beloit across meadow
and into the sand-plum brush where
she could hide until she herself should
find her and take her away
Fear of some attempt to take the
girl made the journey one of care
though none was attempted. More
over Alice had learned to despise her
former pal upon realizing into what
depths she had been led and cling
trembling and frightened onto the
arm of her escort whenever they stop
ped at a station or change was
made At Beloit she expressed salts
faction at her surroundings
The trip had been delayed several
DAYS which accounts for the failure Of
any attempt to be made to release the
Reed girl, for the conductor reported
that he had seen the johnson girl,
who is herself not more than 16 years
of age waiting about the Beloit depot
at every incoming of his train for the
previous two days.

They started at 1880 o'clock in the

and a lake well stocked with fish
where there are numbers of mallard
ducks and two swans.
