Man Unable to
Manage Affairs,
Says Brother
Relative Asserts That Defend.
ant in Land Deed Case Was
Mentally Incompetent
Is From Debauches.

Fremont, Neb., Dec. l4.-(Special
Telegram.) Ogden Milligan,
brother of the defendant in the Cur
Milligan deed case, who entered
the petition for Intervention by the
court, took the stand today and tes-
tlhed that his brother was mentally
unable to control his affairs when
,@ the $4,000 plot of land was trans
~fcrred by him to Curran. which he
alleges was done following threats
of suit for alienation Of affections of
Zelma Short, alleged wife of Jack
Short of Omaha.
He stated that his brother had
returned from Omaha in a serious
condition following prolonged de-
bauches and that he was physical
wreck, resulting from intoxication.
He alleges that Jack and Zelma
Short are not man and wife and
that the woman was used to drag
Joseph Milligan into All affair with
her, by which means Jack Short
was able 10 hold him in his power
by threats of lawsuits. He stated
that he had hired detectives to trace
his brother and to investigate his
actions in Omaha and had found
them to be disgraccful.
DR.. Robert Nichols, Omaha, tes-
tilted that he had treated the de-
iendant for intoxication. DR.. Bart
lett, Omaha, stated that Milligan
j had come to his Office for treat
ment. DR.. Coulter, alienist, Omaha,
testified that the actions of the mar
as brought out by the court, proved
him to be mentally incompetent and
irresponsible. !.
A witness from Scribner gave tes-
timony as to the peculiar actions OF
the defendant when at home and
said that Milligan had ruined his
business by ne.lecting it.

we are familiar, I sometimes
wonder if Columbus was just

times sooner. The bride who had ex-
pected to spend the balance of her life lis
tening to her husband conJugatlng the
verb of love, finds out that he mostly dis
courses about bills, and the high cost OF
living, and how different his mothers bis
cults are from hers.
Instead of barbered. and powdered
and periumed lover she has a husband
who is unshaven and unshorn, grumpy and
grouchy at times, and noting these things
romantic love flies out of thewindow, and
unless the tie that binds her to the
man she has chosen is stronger than
sentmentality-unles it is made up of
some quality more enduring than looks
and soft speeches-why the woman packs
her trunk and goes back to mother,
or begins to look about for some other man
about whom she can cast the mantle
of her fancies.
Convention says that the tie that binds
man and woman together is made up OF
the law and the church. Wrong again.
You may tie n man and woman S bodies
together and force them to live under the
same roof, but no human agency can
fetter a soul or constrain it. Nor does the
reading of a marriage ceremony over a
couple, or the numbling of priest make
a man and woman husband and wife In
the real sense Of that relationship.
We all know husbands and wives whose
marriage bond clanks as they move
amongst us as does the ball and chain of
convicts fettered together. We all know
lonely men and women who live out
dreary lives with wives and husbands
who sit across the table from them in the
flesh. but are millions of leagues away
from them In the spirit.
The tie that binds is not even duty.
That holds outwardly with many con-
scientious people, especially when there are
children to be considered, but it is a fetter
that cuts into the marrow of ones being
and that makes a tester that poisons the
whole of life. 1t is not what we mean
when we sing Blest BE the Tie that Binds
at wedding.
The tie that binds, that hardens and
hardens as the years 60 by until 1t be-
comes like a bond of steel that nothing can
break is made up of sympathy, and under
standing, and appreciation. Age may
come and beauty go, romantic love may
perish, hardship, and sickness and anx-
lety, and poverty may be portions of the
man and woman who have undertaken
the journey of life together.
IL does not matter They will pull
through safely if they are bound together
with bond whose strands are made Of
companionship, and trusted and tried
loyalty, and a comprehension that never
fails.
That is the tie that binds That is the
tie that every man and woman should set
their hands to weaving on their wedding
day.
