days until her mind became affected.
The newspapers of Miles City printed
an item to the effect that the girls
mind was affected, but did not give
the reason. So l cay that l do not
like to send children to the reform

is extreme, I don't know that it will

seven days since the term opened.
Then he ran away to q %rancher's
