' In hundreds of ease somewhat similar, the man sues his wife for all the property. But not so In-this ease,---r - -r---- r s The Simmons live' on a" farm of II acrea near St. John, which was pur chased by 8. W. SImmona In 1878. Boms years kfter moving- onto the property Mrs. Simmons' mind became affected, and at times she fancied that her hus band Wat going to sell the farm without her consent- In order io relieve her fears, Simmons In 1888 deeded the prop erty- to his -wife,-there having been no consideration In'the deah Recently the O. B. N. company wished a right of way through one corner of the farm. Mrs,' Simmons objected; shs fancied that a big corporation was simply trying to gobble their place, and ..would, not con- aioer im transfer. - -, , . , . ., When eventually Mrs.- Simmons was brought before County Judge Lionel R. Webster and several physicians, who pronounced her Insane, and H. 8. Sim mons was appointed guardian, this de sired -right of way,' which took about two acres' from the farm, was sold to the railroad company for tl.00. This Is said to be a big price. Soon after this deal, Simmons went to Attorney H. H. Rlddell and asked him to draw up papers to begin a friendly suit against his wife for one half of the 81.S0O and a division of the farm.-.-- "Now look here, young fellow, began Simmons, "don't you draw up any fancy papers ana aay tut 1 want ail mat money,- for I don't. I Just want to have my share. And another thing; Just state that I want the court to allow me one half of the farm. I could au for all of it" because I bought it with my owi money, and deeded It ever for no con slderatlon whatever, but I do not want to do that. . She has lived there with me all these years, has worked lust as hard as I have, and I consider we own the plaoe together. - But I find that since a guardian haa been -appointed, I ' cannot pull up an onion on my. own farm nor plant a mess ef potatoes without first obtaining the permission of ths county court. - So I Just want to be allowed a free title to one half of the farm so can work away without being bothered.
