IS CAUSED
IN JUVENILE COURT
Mother Appears and Demands
Restoration of Her
Children.

A mild sensation was caused In the
Juvenile court room Monday by a woman
demanding that the court restore 10 her
her two children which were taken in
charge by the court after they had APP
parently been abandoned by their moth
er- The woman became so abusive In
her language that she had to be removed
by force from the room by Probation o.
fcer Sperry. She threatened the court
with all kinds OF calamities II her Chill
dren were not returned to her.
1t appears from the facts, az told to
the court officials, that the woman left
her two children with friend and agreed
to pay for their keep while she went out
TO work. She failed to pay for them or
TO even go TO see them SO the woman
supposed that the mother intended to de-
sert them and she accordingly asked
the Juvenile court TO take charge OF them.
When the mother learned that the
children had been turned over to the
juvenile court on Monday she called at
the courtroom and raised such a dis
turbance that she had to be elected. She
was told by Judge McMaster that the
case would be heard on Thursday and
she could come at that time and con-
vince the court II possible that she was
fit and proper person to have the Gus
tody Of the children and II SO they would
be returned to her.
Four children were before the court
Monday for various offenses and were
placed on probation
