JACOB LEHnA PASSES

Jacob Lehna, a we'll known res
ident of this city, died at his home
on First st. last Thursday morn
ing following an extended illness
which began with an injury re-
ceived last winter in fall. The
immediate cause of death, how
ever, is given as heart failure.
Mr.. Lehna had been a resident
of this city for a long time, hav-
ing arrived here 81 years ago, and
for many years was successful
gardener. He was married 27
years ago to Miss Hilda Nehring,
who with their three children
survives him. The children are
John Lehna, who is married, and
Anton and Ida. both of whom are
single and all are residents of this
city.
Mr.. Lehna was a n".:ve of Aus
tria. where he was born March 2,
1856. and was therefore in the
seth year of his age.
The funeral took place from
st. Johns church Monday MORN
ing and was quite largely attend
ed. The services were conducted
by Rev. Frs. Ridder, Gaydusek and
Gumpher and interment was made
in Calvary cemetery.

yoUjso LADY .mJuRED
In q MystsrIous Accident Near
lIdoerWood, Last Week

The report came from Lidger-
wood last week. that an accident
had occurred near there to Miss
Eva Strege, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Otto F. Strege, on their farm
the cause Of which has not been
determined. Miss Eva had come
back from the field with a team
and buggy, and her mother no.
ticed her return and when she be-
gan to unhitch the team. The next
time her mother looked out she
saw her da..-,.ter lying on the
ground. Mrs. strege found her
ming away. Drs. Sasse and
Maertz have been attending the
case. but up to Tuesday noon the
y9ung n lady was still unconscious.
broken at the hinge but aside
from that there is no other in
jury discernable. From the fact
of her remaj-' unconscious for
such a length Of time, it is now
thought that she must be suffer-
ing from concussion of the brain
But there are no outward marks
to indicate that she received a
blow on the head or anywhere
else. 1t is a strange case and the
attending physicians are very
puzzled over it.

DIVORCE DECREE
Is SET ASIDE
In the FRANK henderson Case II

JudQO oo8ey
LEAVING him WITH 3 WIVES
70 Known In Wahpeton 40 Defend.
ant In q Case Pending
In Court

, FRANK Henderson, known here
as defendant in case pending IN
district court brought by Presi-
,lent Rosholt of the Fairmount &
ssVeblen Railroad Co., seems to be
having a whole lot of hard luck.
A jamestown dispatch of last
week to the Fargo Forum says:
In a hearing Of the Frank Hen
derson divorce case before Judge
J. A. Coffey, the petition of Mrs.
Marie Henderson to vacate de-
cree of divorce granted her in
March, 1914, was granted.
Mrs. Henderson was granted
the divorce on competent show
ing of cruel and inhuman treat
ment, and $500 i'm alimony and
$25 a month were allowed her.
Henderson was enjOined from re-
marrying until June 4, 1914.
Various reasons principally
fraud, were given for wanting
the decree of divorce set aside.
Mrs. Henderson asserts that her
husband told her he had another
wife and two children, which was
not the case; that his alleged sec
ond wife had something ON him"
and would make trouble which
would send him to the penitent-
iiary, and that it was necessary for
her marie Henderson, to secure
a divorce in order to protect him
introduced in the evidence was
note for 5000 for attorneys fees
signed by Frank Henderson and
it was set up that this note was
paid by Mrs. Henderson as her
husband said he had no money
and could not get a divorce unless
she advanced the money.
On June 8, 1914, Henderson
married Minnie Pellen at Sioux
Falls, Sd. and they are now liv-
ing at Owatonna, MINI. Miss rel-
len was a clerk in the Fairmount
& Veblen railroad offices and in
charge of the books and finances
of the company of which IIender-
son was superintendent. He was
afterward charged with embeZzl-
ting a large sum of money from
the company, and Mrs. MARI
Henderson alleges that she secur-
ed the divorce at Henderson's re-
quest i'm order for him to marry
Minnie Pellen so the latter coulC
not testify against him in crimi-
nal proceedings brought by the
COMPANY. She further asserts thai
Henderson agreed after the rail-
road case had been settled to Sc
cure divorce from Minnie Pei
len and remarry Marie Henderson
which he has refused to do.
1t is understood the case will be
appealed on the ground that Mrs
Henderson was party to tn,
fraud by which the first divorce
was obtained and cannot take ad-
vantage of her own wrong, anC
that the divorce was granted or
evidence that was true and mo-
on falsehoods.

bounteous repast awaiting them.
The tables were handsomely de-
corated with flowers, the center
piece being a large star filled
with the most beautiful flowers
Of the season. and at each plate
there was an individual bouHuet
of sweet peas.
Among other lovely gifts which
Miss CairncrOss received was

The storm of last Saturday af-

one of them seriously.
William Koppelman's barn was
completely destroyed and the
grain and hay it contained were

killed a horse and several head of
cattle. The tornado was followed
by~a terrific hail storm that NOW

Near Great Bend Charley Stol-

The storm did much damage al
other places in the county, anG

INSURE NEXT YEAR
CORN CROP NOW
Some Timely Pointers from North
Dakota Experiment
Station
H0nB GROWN SEED THE BEST
What Kind to Select and How Ca
Cure Il 30 Il Will All
Grow

Now is the time to insure next
years corn crop: Home grown
seed insures mature corn next
year. Now is the time to secure
the home grown seed. Select the
seed corn in the field. This gives
an opportunity to see the kind of
stalks that the ear is grown on.
as we'll as the kind of ear.
The stalk is an important con-
sideration. The North Dakota
corn crop will be largely handled
by machinery. and a corn should
this way: One of the requirements
enough from the ground so that
the corn can be cut with the. corn
binder. Another important point:
a GOOD ear from hill that has
produced three or four good ears
is better than a similar ear from
hill that has produced just one
ear.
The corn plant increases in
food value quite rapidly from the
time it tassels out till it ripens.
This means that even when tho
corn is to be used for fodder or
ensilage, it should be allowed to
become nearly mature in order to
secure the greatest food value as
we'll as the best food value. The
so-called fodder corn. that grows
a big stalk but no ears. contains
but small amount of food value.
When the seed corn has been
selected, the next thing is to cure
it.; the curing consists in drying
the seed. If it freezes before be-
ing dry, the termination qualities
are destroyed. AS soon as the corn
has been gathered, hang it up in
place where the air can circu-
late freely. and where it is pro-
tected from rain. When freezing
weather comes, if the corn is not
dry it must be kept in a room
kept above freezing. Artificial heat
can be used in drying corn, but it
is best to let it air dry for while
at first.
Corn is fast becoming one OF
the most important crops in
North Dakota farming. The rapid
ity of this progress depends very
largely on where the seed is
grown; when imported seed is
grown year after year, progress
will be slow: when home grown
seed is used. the improvement
made each year is saved, so that
next years crop can be made that
much better.
This adoption of seed corn to
our soil and climatic conditions
must be made right in the local
| ity. Better seed corn can be secur-
ed from your own corn field. if
we'll cared for, than can be
brought in from a distance.
Gathering seed corn is not as
big a job as it may seem when
one considers that one bushel Of
seed will plant six to eight acres.
A good way is to secure grain
sack, tie strap to one corner of
the bottom and the other to cor
ner of the top. The sack can be
carried with the strap over the
shoulder. This leaves both hands
free and it is the easiest wav Of
carrying the corn. In this way,
several bushels of seed corn can
be gathered in a day. Every BUSH
el of home grown seed corn that
is selected and we'll cured is a
boost up the ladder for North Da-
kota farming.
