he has been overcome with remorse since.
- Mrs. Serl Fields, a little girl of but 15 years old, was arrested
in Ottumwa, having run away from her home in Oskaloosa. The poor girl told a
sad tale. Two or three years ago her father and mother were divorced and the
mother was married a second time. Her stepfather insisted on her being
married and last fall she was married to a drunken miner, whom she left
after a few weeks. This miner secured a divorce on the ground of desertion

she ran away from home. She probably will be returned to Oskaloosa.

stairway to take a peek at a dance which was in progress. When they gained
the top of the stairway the door opened and the boys started down the
