Three boys, Clyde MCGUIRE aged 13, Hugh WILSON 8, and a thirteen-year-old youngster named DOSS, were sent to the reform school from Mt. Ayr, last Wednesday by Judge TOWNER. The first two named, who were from Kellerton, plead guilty to the charge of rape, and DOSS, who is from Decatur county, was charged with general incorrigibility with a mania for stealing. County Attorney W. B. KELLEY and witnesses from Decatur county appeared against young DOSS.
