Eldora, April IA peculiar case is
developed by the will Of the late L. A
Johnson. which was recently filed in
this county for probate.
Johnson was married in Ohio quite
number of years ago and later came
to Iowa AMI Hardin county to live. re-
siding for years few miles southwest
of Eldora. Some years ago Mrs. John
son died and Mr.. Johnson was married
the second time. Subsequent to the
second marriage, however, he entered
into an erte-uuptial contract with the
woman who was to be his second wife,
giving to her $500. After living together
which time johnson made a will giving
the second wife $1,000, the couple sep
arated ana Johnson secured divorce,
but for some reason failed to DESTROY
or revoke the action of the will under
which the second wife was to receive
$1,000
Johnson's children by the first wife
are now wondering whether they can
