GALENA GIRL IN COURT

 Galena, Kan., July 12. Mabel Dowell, a 15-year old girl of this city, was taken into custody yesterday by Constable Joe Powell, by an order from the juvenile court of Cherokee County. Yesterday afternoon she was taken to Columbus and given hearing before James H. Ellis, probate judge, who also presides over the juvenile court, and after sufficient evidence in the case was heard, was ordered removed to the state industrial school for girls at Beloit, where she will be kept until she reaches a responsible age. It is said she was brought back to  Galena last night and will be taken to Beloit today. The girl has been employed as waitress in a hotel for some time and as her mother is dead it is claimed she has no place which she might call her home. It is also said that it was at the request of an older sister that she be sent to the industrial school. She is an exceptionally pretty girl.
