ing up his property, which had been

camp has run the ranch unassisted for
year, and neighbors testified that she
raked the hay. milked the cows and did
other work that her children might be

remainder of the money he had OBJ
tanned by mortgaging his property.
The Judge ordered that he pay $100 of
this sum to his wife, $40 to her attor-
ney and that the income of the ranch
be given to the wife during the next
six months, or until she could catch
up with expenses, which had been fast
running behind. The judge gave Bro
camp severe lecture of the temperance

with tears in his eyes and came near
breaking down completely when the
Judge said that "even If all love was
lost between the couple he should
work for his children" Brocamp took
an oath in the presence Of his attorney
to cease drinking and to begin life over
again.
