Starts Suit at Kansas City Against Former Husband to Secure An-1
other Division of His Property.
Asa McCullough, of Kansas City,
Kansas, but for many years one of
the prosperous farmers of Cass coun
ty, was in the city a few days this
week taking depositions and securing
evidence in protecting himself in the
suit brought by his wife at Kansas
City, Kansas.
In the petition filed by Mrs. Mc
Cullough in the Kansas City courts,
Asa says she claims to have no means
of support, no money, and being un
able to earn a livelihood, she asks
the court to make another equal di
vision of the little property Mr. Mc
Cullough has left.
It will be remembered by the peo
ple of Plattsmouth and Cass county
that Mr. and Mrs. McCullough's do
mestic, troubles began to flame in this
county several years ago, and grow
ing from bad to worse, it finally re
sulted in a complete separation, and
at the most heated time of the family
difficulties, Asa tells us, that when
their ways down the pathway of life
separated, a complete and equal di
vision of all their real and personal
property was made. Their fine 196
acre farm in Cass county was sold, a
public sale was held and all their per
sonal property disposed of, the pro
ceeds of both sales were placed in the
bank, according to the story of Mr.
McCullough, and each were permitted
to draw their equal share, and take
their separate paths in peace, as he
supposed, for the remainder of their
lives.
At the present time Mr. McCul
lough owns a farm of 14 0 acres in
Oklahoma, with $1,000 indebtedness
upon It, and adjoining his place Mrs.
McCullough owns 180 acres with
$600.00 Indebtedness, which certain
ly demonstrates that the latter is
something like $2,500 better off than
Asa, not mentioning any other assets
either party might have. At the time
Mrs. McCullough filed her petition iu
the courts, claiming tor have no
money and no means of support, Asa
says they, himself and attorneys,
went to her bank. The Riverside
State Bank, at Kansas City, to serve
an injunction upon them for non
payment of any funds she might wish
to draw. Here they found that she
had drawn out the day before $ 1 3 S,
still claiming no money and no
means of support.
Mr. McCullough tells us that he
has papers in his possession whereby
both parties were to accept the terms
made at the time of the division of
the Cass county property, signed by
both and accepted as final. With
this as evidence and the vast amount
he secured from depositions taken,
Asa tells us that he does not think
there Is a chance for him losing the
case, but it makes him "plenty of
trouble" as the story goes, and he is
of the opinion that he has already
had his share and more too.
As to the past of both parties, and
who should carry the blame for the
existing trouble, and how much each
should shoulder, we will leave to the
friends and neighbors where they
have resided for so many years, near
Murray. The Journal has nevdr
given Asa credit for being nearly so
cruel as he says the petition makes
I in in uui. mis. .miUiiuugu nanus
she was compelled to plow corn,
pitch hay, and perform numerous
other farm hand work, but when it
came to traveling over the rough
plowed ground behind a harrow she
"balked" and the trouble was on.
The case will come up for hearing
some time the latter part of the pres
ent month, and we shall endeavor to
Inform our readers, as to the outcome.

Some Suggestions That May
Prove Profitable to Dairymen.
J. M. Westgate, the government ex
pert in charge of clover and alfalfa
investigation, has the following to
say relative to the value of alfalfa
had as a food for stork, and in ref
erence to dairy cattle says that dairy
cows require a high protein food to
produce a profitable flow of milk.
This can be supplied by feeding cer
tain kinds of roughage and such
concentrates as bran and corn meal.
Such concentrates are expensive and
can be replaced by a feed like alfal
fa. Experiments made by the Ten
nesee Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion in regard to replacing grain w ith
alfalfa in rations for dairy cows in
dicated that l(s pounds of alfalfa
will replace 1 pound of wheat bran.
The test showed that with alfalfa
hay at $10.00 a ton and wheat bran
at $20.00, the saving effected by
substituting alfalfa for wheat bran
is $2.80 for every 100 pounds of
butter, and nearly 20 cents for every
100 pounds of milk.
There is a great difference In the
value of the alfalfa for food, depend
ing on the time it is cut. It has been
found by experiments made at the
Utah Experiment Station that the

orous body and a keen brain. With

PULLMAN CAR WRECKED
AT UNION MONDAY
The Nebraska City News in tell
ing of the wreck at Union last Mon
day night, in which a southbound
freight dashed into the rear end of
the midnight passenger train, says:
"The proverbial good luck of the
Missouri Pacific still continues. It
matters not what kind of an accident
they have, no one Is killed and but
few are Injured. Lnst night the pas
senger train was at Union and had
just attached the coach from Lincoln
when a freight train from the north
came dashing into Union and ran
into the Pullman coach, knocking
out the rear end, lifting the rear
portion of the coach off the trucks,

L VV. Patterson Who Came to
This County in 1855.
From VeJnesJay't Daily.
Fred Patterson returned last even
ing from Narka, Kansas, where he
had been to attend the funeral of his
brother, which occurred last Mon
day. Levinus Wells Patterson was born
at Patterson Mills, Washington
county, Pennsylvania, January 17,
1S3.", and at the age of one year his
parents, Thomas Patterson and wife,
removed to LaSalle county, Illinois.
Levinus W. received his early educa
tion in the common schools of Illi
nois, afterward studied civil engi
neering and was a practical land
surveyor. In 1853, the subject of
this sketch accompanied his parents
to Nebraska, crossing the Missouri
river at old Kenosla In August of
that year. The next year, 1S56, Mr.
Patterson was married to Miss Emily
Towner, daughter of Judge Towner,
one of the pioneers of this county
To this union eight children were
born, and it Is a remarkable incident
that in the fifty-four years which
have elapsed since the marriage of
Mr. and Mrs. Patterson, the death
of the husband and father is the first
which has occurred In the family.
The names and residences of the sur
viving children are as follows: Mrs
Elmira McDonald and Mrs. Etta
Moore, of Murray, In this county
Howard Patterson, of Mankato, Kan
sas; Mrs. Isabelle Moore, of Fruitaf
Colorado; Mrs. Lillie Joyce, of Alta
vista, Kansas; Lycurgus Patterson,
Narka, Kansas; Mrs. Rannie Black,
Kansas City, Missouri, and Mrs. Lot
tie Virts. Paducah, Kentucky.
Mr. Patterson is also survived by
his aged wife, and two sisters and
one brother. His sisters being, Mrs.
Narcissus France, of Concordia, Kan
sas, and Mrs. Lucinda Pocock, of Ord,
Nebraska. His brother being our
county surveyor, Fred Patterson, or
this city. Mr. Patterson with his
family resided on a farm in this
county until 1881,, when they sold
their Cass county possessions and re
moved to Republic county, Kansas,
where he has since resided and been
engaged in farming. His children
are all married and have families,
except Lycurgus, who resides at
home.
The funeral occurred ias: Monday
from the M. E. church at Narka. and
was conducted by the pastor of that
church. The funeral procession was
one of the largest which had ever
been seen in that community, which
attested the very high regard in
which the dei eased was held by his
neighbors, among whom he had
lived for the past almost thirty
years.
The relatives from abroad attend
ing the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs.
John Pocock, of Ord, Nebraska; Fred
Fatlerson, Mrs. William Gilmour,
Mrs. Frank Moore, Mrs. McDonald, cf
this county; Mr. Abe Towner, of
Ulysses. Mrs. Frazee and children

Another source of profit in alfalfa
culture which could be shared by the
inhabitants of the city having room
for the hives, is the keeping of bees.
Mr. Westgate says that tho develop

coincident with the extension of al

Statistics indicate that the heavi

are secured In the sections showing

"There Is not to exceed one per
cent of the corn in the South Platte
territory that would be damaged by
frost," said H. L. Lewis, of P.eatrice,
division agent of the Burlington at
that place, while in Lincoln Monday.
"Corn is practically out of the way
of frost damage, and winter wheat Is
looking fine," is the report of J. J.
Cox, division freight agent for the
same road at Lincoln. It is further
added at Mr. Cox's office that the
condition of winter wheat was never
better in this state at this time.
"Nevertheless," says E. Blgnell, di
vision superintendent of the same
road, "the crop killers are busy. Just
now we hear some people who oon't
krow a great deal about It, saying
that winter wheat 'Is growing too
fast, Is getting too large, and that It
will be too far along by the time
winter comes. The crop killers keep
us worried. They begin on the win
ter wheat in the fall. Then when
spring comes and they find Borne of
the wheat frozen off level with the
ground they begin to kill the crop
again. When it gets up and begins
to grow they find some insect work
ing in the field and predict that there
will be no wheat. Then they find
that there Is no seed corn in the
country that will grow. A little later
they find it too dry to preparevthe
ground for corn. A little later they
find the wheat coming out fairly well,
and get the corn planted. Then the
corn i3 coming up unevenly and the
crop will be Bhort. Had weather cuts
the harvest short and the corn gets
a setback. Iater it recovers, only to
be killed off a little later In August.
Finally the rain comes and Nebraska
fields get busy. In the end the stato
produces a big crop that keeps the
railways busy to care for it, in spite
of the people who have tried to con
vince us there would be no corn, no
wheat and no alfalfa. If they would
let Nebraska alone for one season the
results might be even greater but the
crop killers really discourage the
farmers and at times actually per
suade tho mto plow up the wheat."

William Riley, of St. Louis, had
the misfortune to become Intoxicated
on Louisville liquor a day or two ago,
and while In such state broke into a
store, thinking it was a thirst parlor,
and thus got into the toils of the
law. Chief of Police Cam Seybert
took tho man in charge and sent for
the county attorney, thinking per
haps that the Berlous charge of bur
glary should be preferred against
Riley. There was something like
thirty dollars In money and several
watches In the store which Riley left
strictly alone, and so far as could be
ascertained, he had not touched a
thing in the store.
On tho advice of the county attor
ney, a complaint for plain drunk was
filed before Judge Lewis, and the
gentleman wns given thirty days in
the county Jail. Mr. Seybert brought
his prisoner In this morning and
turned him in to Jailer Manspeaker.
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC IN
DEPLORABLE COMITION
The strike of the machinists on
the Missouri Pacific railroad has evi
dently placed the running of trains
on that road in a most deplorable
condition, which renders it unrelia
ble and unsafe for the traveling
public.
Passenger trains from the south
are nearly always from one to two
hours late, and farther south the
morning train and the night train
going In that direction are the same
way, caused by engines getting out
of gear. Sometimes the engineers
are compelled to stop between sta
tions to repair something about th
machinery that has given out.
Sunday evening the train coming
from the south was over two hours
late, and the trainmen were power
less to help themselves. Dead en
gines are side-tracked all along the.
line between Omaha and Kansas City.
An employe told ub that at Atchison
alone, were twenty dead engines that
were powerless to turn a wheel, and
no one to put them In shape for duty.
It is awful for a railroad to be placed
In such a condition. They have a
few machinists scattered along the
line, who manage to keep a few of
the locomotives in shape to carry
passenger trains and a few freights.
It is said freight along the line U
multiplying at various points for the
want of transportation facilities, and
many consignments over the Missouri
raclllc are transferred over other
lines. There should be some remedy
for such a state of affairs, but how,
is a conntindrum which no one la
able to solve.

vice for prudent men and women. It
