His Wife Claims There Are Wages
Due Her for Services Rendered.
Jacob Oleson has demonstrated the fact
once more that it is an easy and agreeable
way to pay a woman creditor a bill by mar
rying her, If he had not tried the expert
ment a year or more ago he would have been
minus a good span of young mules at the
present time.
Away along in the first spring months
nearly two years ago Mr.. Oleson engaged
a woman TO nurse his invalid wife. She was
to receive a compensation of 81 a day, and
for twenty-one days she discharged her
duties faithfully and we'll. At the expiration
Of that time the sick woman died and left
Mr.. Oleson with a small family and no
housekeeper. He made a new contract with
the nurse by which she was to work for
an indefinite time, or as long as it was
agreeable for both parties, and was to re-
ceive a compensation of So a week. Mr..
OlesOn had made but two payments on ac-
count, and after eight months had passed
there was due his housekeeper Sill. In the
meantime Cupid had been playing his usual
FRANKS, and on April 7 of last year he led
the couple to the hymeneal altar. Neither
Mr.. Oleson nor his wife felt that the ac-
count for wages had been settled. Mr.. Ole
son did not pay it, but promised to secure
1t. At the time about all of his property
vas under mortgage except one mule colt,

NAL. Last spring another mule colt was
added to the stock yard collection, and as
no mortgage was hanging over its head the
same disposition was made of 1t.

claim of ownership of the mules brought

and courtship. The case has been occupy

less for a week, 1t was on all day yesterday
with an array of legal talent on both sides,
