State Journal: Mrs. Theodate Mon
ahan of Holt county, who was recently
divorced from Henry J. Monahan, has
nppealed one phase of the litigation
to the supreme court. She and her
husband made an agreement out of
court before a decree of divorce was
granted. By this agreement a quar
ter section of land was to be given to
the wife and $700 in cash. The judge
of the district court knew nothing of
the agreement and when he gave the
wife a divorce and the custody of four
children he divided the property be
tween the couple. By this division
the wife will get less than her husband
offered her. She now sues to compel
the husband to carry out the agree
ment which both signed.
A large delegation of O’Neill sports
went up to Stuart last Monday night
to witness the wrestling match be
tween Coob of Stuart and Strieker
of Dodge, Neb. The wrestle went
two hours and a quarter without a fall
and was a draw. The consensus of
of opinion, among those who attended
from here, is to the effect that
Strieker is too fast for the Stuart man
and that he could have won the match
had he so desired and that he had the
Stuart man on the defensive all the
time. When Cobb would get a hold on
the Dodge man the latter would break
it with ease and never was in any
difficulty during the engagement.
The boys who attended, however, say

Con Grebe Dead.

resident of this county, having been
section boss on the Northwestern
railroad at Emmet for many years,
died at his home at Casper, Wyo.,

Cure For “Blind Staggers.”
A total change of feed and forage I
is the only effective method of con- 1
tending with “blind staggers” in I
horses. Government experts have fl
issued a bulletin declaring there is a
direct connection between the green
forage, exposed pasturage and newly
cut hay which the horses eat and
this disease. A complete change of
feed and forage is the treatment
recommended. Moldy baled hay has
caused the death of many horses.
Many horses have been slain as the
result of using fake cures adver
tised by unscrupulous persons. It
is reported that in Nebraska “black
leg vaccine” was used on 1,600 unaf
fected horses. Nearly 1,500 of these
died as a direct result of this treat
ment.
Value of Straw as a Fertilizer.
A large amount of straw is shipped
from a county in Missouri to a near
by paper and strawboard factory.
This straw brings the farmer about
50 cents per ton. A county agent
recently found a pile of about 1,000
tons at Sikeston ready for shipment.
He computes that as a fertilizer this
straw is worth $2.50 per ton in ad
dition to its value as a means of
adding organic matter to the soil.
He is making a campaign of the
county in an attempt to show the in
advisability of the farmers selling
their straw and urging its more ex
tensive use as bedding in stables and
fed lots. Straw used as a top dress
ing on fall wheat has been found to
pratically insure a good stand of
clover on lands where clover is other
wise grown with great difficulty.
