Forced to wear caitofT clothing
and live by charity, while hit wife
wintered at Long Beach. Cal.
Adjudged insane by the courts,
nr.d denied acceit to the fortune
lie wrested from the virgin prairiei
of Nebraska, to provide for the
declining years of himself and hit
wife.
These are high points In the story
iold by Edwin E. Otda in hia answer
to the divorce petition of Jus wife,
.Mary Olds. 1810 Lothrop street,
niea yesterday in district court
Behind the Plow.
Old is the owner of 240 acres of
land in Wayne county, Nebraska, he
ays, and residence property in
Omaha, all the fruit of 20 years of
toil behind the plow. He started
without a dollar, he says, after "his
marriage In Tekamah,- -Neb., in
JanuaryI83J. and by industry and
iiun.uir actuiiiuiaicu an csiuie
worth $30,000. . ,
Then his health broke under the
strain, and he moved to Omaha 10
years ago. He bought the house
on Lothrop street and settled down
to spend the re.t of his days in auict.
This, he says, his wife refused to
permit.
Shortly aft:r their removal to
Omaha, the answer alleges, she com
menced a course of nagging.
She had him arrested twice,
charged with being an inebriate,
which added to his highly nervous
cunuiuon, ne enarges. ...
In April, 1918, she filed an action
in county court, in which he was
declared insane, and incompetent to
manage his estate.
Made An Outcast
After the appointment of a guard
ian, the answer , says, Mrs. Olds
remonstrated against the payment of
any -money to her husband for his
support She literally turned him out
to roam at large, "an outcast, a dere
lict! to gather a living by charity,
by wearing cast off clothing, or as
best , he might," his petition reads.
During the winters of 1918 and
1919, the answer alleges, he suffered
great hardships, while his wife rented
the family home, and with the pro
ceeds, spent the - winters in Cali
fornia. Early in the present year, Olds
was declared sane, and his .rights
were restored. His jvife immediately
i sued, for divorce, demanding two
s' thirds-of his property, and declaring
the" farm in Wayne county to be
v iL 9AA- -
Kuii.il fjuu an acre. ,
v .- Asks .for Divorce. .
It ii worth at most $100 an acre.
Olds says,, and his' wife's .statement
is merely an- effort to obtain a de
cree which iwooldfteavey him-penniless.
-ftft-i-WiX
About a yeafe ago-he . could have
sold the . farm for $200 an acre,- he
says, but his wife" refused to permit
it. Now farm Values have slumped
until the . land .is back to $100, the
answer save.
Olds asks a divorce' from his wife,
and suggests that the' court deter
mine a suitable settlement on her.
