WANTS DIVORCE
Mary A. Sheets wants a divorce from Andrew Sheets and the restoration of her maiden name, Mary A. Soots. They were married in August, 1914 and separated July 15, 1918. She alleges that he cursed her, called her vile names, struck her, that from October 29, 1917 to April 16, 1918, he was in Arkansas and contributed nothing to her support.
