KANSAS CITY, MO., NOV. 27.—A special to the Star from Medicine Lodge says: David K. Nation was today granted a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Carrie Nation, the 'joint smasher.' The court exonerated Mrs. Nation from the charge of cruelty to her husband and divided the property. The Medicine Lodge home will go to Mr. Nation and the outlying property to his wife. In reply to questions of the court, Mrs. Nation said the reason she fought the proceedings was that she wished to continue her share of the pension money drawn by her husband. Mr. Nation, in support of the petition for divorce, cited a letter from his wife in which she denounced him as a 'hell-bound hypocrite.'
