WORE LEAKY BOOTS
They Made His Feet Tender and Man
Sues for $1,556.

George Brown, a former concrete
worker for the Topeka Bridge & Iron
company, filed suit in the district
court against that company today for
1856. Brown lives at Oswego, in
Labette county.
He alleges in his petition that the
trouble is all due to a pair of 1eaky
boots his foreman required him to
wear while he was tamping concrete.
The water and cement, he says, re-
moved the skin from his feet, made it
impossible for him to work for some
time and caused his feet to become
permanently tender. He asks for $50
for loss of time at the rate of $3.50
a day and $500 for damages.
The Topeka Bridge & Iron COM
pany, he says, operates under the
Kansas workman's compensation law.

NEEDS HIS HELP
Wife Objects to Edward E.
Brayman Getting Divorce.
She Has Eleven Children To
Support, She Asserts.

Fifty-six years of age, mother of
eleven children, almost blind. Sarah
A Brayman objects strenuously to the
granting of a divorce to her husband,
Edward f. Brayman. She filed an
answer and a cross petition in the
district court today with the idea of
heading off anything of that kind.
Her answer indicates that she is
willing to dispense with the company
of her husband but she insists that
he continue to support her. Instead
of a divorce she asks for separate
main -enance.
Brayman first filed suit for divorce
making allegations against his wife
The records in his action are not on
file with the clerk of the district court
day and the employees have forgotten
what he alleged but it couldn't have
much of an edge upon the petition
filed today by his wife. Here are some
of her charges:
Makes Many Charges.
That he neglected his home, that
he failed to provide for his family,
that he correspondent with other wo-
men, that he deserted her a year ago.
that he left household bills unpaid.
that he failed to obey a court order
for her maintenance, that she is near
Iy blind and that her blindness is due
to his misconduct. That's a partial
list.
Mrs. Brayman says that after her
husband deserted her the probate
judge ordered him to pay her $40 a
month for the support of a minor
child and that later he agreed to pay
her $40 a month for her own support
But, she adds, since June he has failed
to pay for either her support or that
of the minor child.
Instead of the divorce decree he
asks for she asks that she be granted
separate maintenance and an attorney

PUT 1T IN LIVESTOCK
Oversupply of Corn and Shortage of
Meat Is the Reason.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The nation
should put every bushel of corn pos
sible into cattle, hogs and sheep.
Everett c. Brown, president of the
Chicago Live Stock exchange, back
today from Washington after con-
ference with Herbert Hoover, brought
this message to Chicago.
1t is certain that there will be vast
oversupply of corn, while the meat
supply will be short this winter,
Brown said.
Few cattle, withdrawal of the dis
tiIlers from the corn market and linn
tied exports will all tend to increase
the corn supply. Brown pointed out.
