More Problems for George Young

Poor George. Not a month after he got scammed out of a horse, we see this announcement:

George Young who lives in Ross township south of Ainsworth has made a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties between himself and his wife by paying her a goodly sum in cash. To meet this payment he has decided to sell one of his farms at a sacrifice.

The wife in question was his second, Ophelia — his brother's widow, whom he had married in 1892.

A month after that, George was dehorning a steer one evening when the animal's horn got hooked in his mouth, splitting his lip and knocking out some teeth.

And then Ophelia divorced him anyway.

George had only a few years to live at this point, but we'll get to that later.
