Hull Asks for Names
Mentioned in Wife's
Divorce Petition
C. W. Hull, who is suing Mrs. William
R. McKeen, Jr., for annulment of tnelr
$31,000 alimony contract, wants Mrs, Mc
Keen to give names when she charges
that for the last ten years of their mar

her answer to Hull's suit Mrs. McKeen
Included her original petition for divorce
from him, which charges infidelity. Hull
has filed a motion to require his former
wife to name the women to whom; she
says he paid unseemly attentions. Hull
also filed a motion to strike from Mc
Keen's answer to the alimony suit the
paragraph which says Hull did not bring
the action In good faith and had no tight
to bring it. These motions probably will
not be argued for several weeks.
De Bernardi Finds
Wheat Crop Great
On his way home to Kansas City, com
ing in from an extended Inspection trip
of the lines of northern Kansas and
southern Nebraska, General Superintend
ent De Bernardi of, the Missouri Pa
cific wag in Omaha a couple of hours
yesterday. , ,
The trip of Superintendent DeBemardl
took him through the great winter wheat
fields of two states and he Is enthusi
asts over the crop prospects. He says
that throughout the country visited, all
of the wheat has been cut and hundreds
of , threshing machines are running.
Wheat, as a rule, is turning out from
twenty to thirty bushels per acre and
In many Instances he heard of fields
where the yield was running as high
as forty bushels.' In rare Instanoea Is
the yield below eighteen bushels per
acre. Everywhere the grain weighs out
heavy, from sixty, to as hlg as sixty
five pounds per bushel.
Superintendent DeBernardl will be in
Omaha again .Friday, when in his pri
vate ,car he will take a party of local

WHEAT IS TURNING OUT BIG
Crop in Nebraska is Rapidly Reach-
ini ltst Tliimrt Staff .
ISOLATED SPOTS ARE AFFECTED
Only Points that Have Xot Coftie
. I'p to Expectations Are Along
tho River and South
west Nebraska.
As threshing progresses throughout the
southern portion ot Nebraska, Indica
tions become more convincing that the
Nebraska winter wheat crop ,1s reaching
up toward the bumper point, being far
ahead of last year.
The only points which have not cone
up to expectations are those along '.he
Missouri river and In the extreme outh
west corner of the state, where the esti
mate is fifteen bushels per acre. In these
sections the dry weather ot May is tald
to have materially reduced the yield.
Counties from which reports have been
received are:
Dodge, 20; Saunders, IS; Douglas, 15;
Sarpy, IS; Cass, 15; Colfax. IS; Nemaha,
30; Johnson, 53; Lancaster, 30; Buffalo,
li Adams, 40; Perkins, 15; Hitcncock,
S); Dundy. 15; Seward. 30; York, 20; Po'k,
25; Hamilton, SO; Hall, 90; Otoe, US bushels
per acre.
None of the wheat Is weighing If as
than sixty-two, and much of It Is running
as high as sixty-five pounds to the
bushel. Having been harveVed ind
threshed without any rain having fallen
upon It. the condition is perfect.
Reports from the North Flatte sect'en
are not expected for a few days, as being
further north, the season is a llttlo later,
but If the yield in Hall, Dodge and Buf
falo counties can be taken as a fair
Index, thirty to thirty-five bushels per
ere will not be unusual.
