DIVORCE WANTED
Less than three months marked the married life of Arthur and Mary Adams. Now she asks for a divorce and makes the following allegations: That defendant was guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment in that he frequently cursed her, called her vile names, slapped her and once he shot at her; that because of such treatment, her health has been undermined. They were married March 3, 1918 and separated May 12, 1918.
