Reform school takes in Paris Millinery offenders boys
Judge Doud departed this afternoon for the reform school at St Anthony with Dave and Otis Radford ages eight and ten. The boys, who last Sunday entered the Paris Millinery and damaged the card register and committed other unlawful acts, are also accused of further juvenile depredations. They have no mother and a father unable to provide proper care, so a term at the reform school was deemed best.
