"If people only knew the number and the drcuiuslauces of the boys and girls going astray In Ogden anJ in Salt Lake City,"' F.ild Judge Gun-nell Gun-nell In tho Juvenile court this morning, morn-ing, "there would by surprise, reaching reach-ing almost to horror, expressed every-v. every-v. in.-io. Tlie running of young girls and boyo trom the one city to thj other to escape the restrictive eye of parents, aud the subsequent and effective ef-fective labors and co-operailon of the officers of the juvenile courts to ro-turn ro-turn such chlldreu to their homes, Is the commonplace. Such things are going on every day. "Yesterday wc brought back an Ogden Og-den girl from Salt Lake City who had run away from home about n month ago. She was" given a lecture, and will be on probation for six months. Sho must report to run every ev-ery week and, If ehe does not go .astray again, tho public will know little of the Incident. Her name will bo kept out of the papers and wo will belp her In every way possible. If the restriction of the prohibitory sentence sen-tence does not have the desired effect, ef-fect, the girl will be sent to the reform re-form school. "A few days ago eight Ogden boys stole a handcar, placed It on the Oregon Ore-gon Short Lluo and rode out lu the country several miles and stole wat- i vrmelons. They were caught by the farmer owning tho melons and all of Ibem brouhi to t his city. I settled up the affair by having some of tho boys' parents pay for the melons and bad other of the boys bring back tho l andcar. All these boys ar on probation pro-bation and will bo sent to the Industrial Indus-trial school if they do not reform." The Judge states that the little Vest girl, whom It was believed would bo sent to Provo because of mental trouble, will not be committed to tho state institution but will be placed In different environments In this city, it is thought by Dr. D H. Calder thai the child will improve mentally II placed where she will receive the proper care. Judge Gunnell Is now looking for a new home for tho little girl. A Dumber of young girls have been Induced to take automobile rides to Salt Lake City and have been ill-treated ill-treated while on the way. Several such cases have como to the notice of tho Juvenile Judge and It Is likely that some action In regard to those case? will come to light In the near future. For the sake of the parents as well as for the girls, such cases are handled as Quietly as possible by Judge Gunnell. but the work of the court Is nevertheless Just as effective. |
