Unusual Ante-Nuptial Contract
Placed on Official Reoords
of 8t. Louis.
St. Louis, Dec. 30 \n uuusu
al ante-nuptial agreement bu
tween Louis Yahlein and Hay
Eckert was placed on 11 !o in tin*
recorder's oiTicc.
The llrst clause in I lie agree
ineni is that Yahlein will pay liis
bride §100 in cash at the time of
the marriage. Without condi
tions of any kind he agrees to
bequeath to bis bride in his last
will $500. In case they live to
gether as husband and wife for
two years be will will to her $1,
000, including the $500 in tin
previous clauso.
If they live together three years
or longer he will bequeath to her
one-sixth of bis estate, including
the $1,000.
It is further agreed that the
wife shall have no right or claim,
dower or otherwise, to share or
participation in Yahlem's estate
except as set out in the agree
ment.
Yahlein waives all right t<» tin*
(•state of bis bride, and it is
agreed that either may sell or
encumber property without the
other's signature.
No reason is assigned fur lliis
si range agreement which pro
vides a sliding scale according to
how long the wife decides to re
main as (lie wife of Yahleni, nor
is it staled at what date this
strange agreement will really go
into effect, hy the marriage of the
cont ractors.
