SOME kansas Happenings.
Peculiar legal Question.

At the May term of the Dickinson
county court Mrs. Mary Harming was
granted divorce from her husband,
Jacob Harming. There was consider
able property and the wife secured the
larger share. Mrs. Harming died
within the six months required before
the divorce became effective, and 1t is
argued that as neither party could
have married within the six months
Mr. Harming is entitled to Husbands
rights in the property division. 1t will
make an interesting case for the courts
to settle.
