Stafford and Mr. and Mrs. David Barnes, farmers living near Carbondale, came to town and by default in district court procured divorces on the grounds of adultry. They came in the same wagon and are apparently friends. Before leaving town Mr. Barnes and the divorced Mrs. Stafford procured a license to marry, Mr. Stafford swearing to the affidavit. It is understood that Mr. Stafford and Mrs. Barnes are also to be married and that the whole procedure has been by mutual agreement all around. This caps the climax of all the various divorce business for which Mahaska county is already famous."
