program of Erphine Krause, aged II,

Erphine took his bride to the home
of his father, August Krause, at Wood
bine, and they lived there until about
two months ago, when the child wife
decided she wanted to live in Salina,
so they moved to this place and tried
to make their own way. The boy had
no trade and was unfortunate about
securing work. At last she had him
arrested for non-support and he was
held in Jail for several days. Finally,
just day or two ago, he was turned
loose on his promise to try to get work
and her agreement to withdraw her
charge.
However, Erphine decided he didn't
like married life with it's responsible
ties and that he really found it too
hard to make a living for two, so he
decided to have the marriage an
