PIE, son Of Grant Dalrymple, a
wealthy Saline county farm, was
bound over to the district court un-
der $500 bond for trial on a charge
of wife and child desertion. The
complaining witness was Mae Dal-
rymple, daughter of j. H. Christian,
2002 Grove avenue
At the time the desertion charge
against Dalrymple was filed six
weeks ago. Mrs. Dalrymple also fill
ed suit against her father-in-law,
seeking judgment for $4,000 for
the alienation of her husbands ar
fections. She says that all the trou-
BILE between herself and her hus-
band is due to the influence of the
senior Dalrymple.
It was a Kansas agricultural col
lege romance which resulted in the
marriage of the two on March 9,
1913, when he was 19 and she II.
Because of their ages and the fact
that parental consent was not OBJ
tanned they went to Missouri to be
married. Following their marriage
they went to the Dalrymple home in
Saline county. and it was there, ac-
cording to the testimony, that trou-
Bile began.

Governor Appeals to Railroad Man
ayers to Relieve Shortage
FARMERS SUFFER HEAVY LOSS
Crops Are Piled on the Ground Rot
ting Away While Freight Cars
Are Tied up at Harbors
With Grain

Topeka, Feb. 26.-The freight
car shortage in Kansas has become
so serious that Governor Capper
made a personal appeal to the gen.
eral managers of the railroads to
try to furnish cars to move last
years crops. In letter to the man
ager of each road the governor
calls attention to the fact that the
shortage in cars causing losses to
the farmers, particularly the rent.
ers, who need the money. Many of
these are being forced to sell their
crops at greatly reduced prices, be-
cause they cannot wait for cars to
get to market
The complaints of car shortage
have been frequent for several
months, but according to complaints
received in the last week by the
governor the condition is serious so
far as the renters are concerned.
The losses are really heavier on the
farmers with larger holdings, but
these are not faced with ruin, as
some of the small farmers assert
they are.
