Charles \. Johnston. The plaintiff lives
in Lime township with her father, Jo-
seph OiGS. She was married to Johns
ton at Mahtowa, Carlton county, on
June 4, 1887. She is at present but nine
teen years old and Johnston is twenty
three. The complaint alleged cruel and
inhuman treatment and habitual drunk
eness. The court found that the first
charge was true and the latter untrue.
No defense was made. According to
the complaint. Johnston came home
drunk one day two weeks after the mar
rage and cruely illtreated his wife. He
was also in the habit of throwing chairs
at her and other little articles of furni-
ture. Mrs. Johnston left her husband
Aug. p, 1887, and returned to her home
where her husband refused to support
her or pay for medical attendance when
she was sick from a fever brought on by
the tilt eatment. The court granted her
an absolute divorce, the right to resume
her maiden name, and judgement for
attorneys. fees and other expenses.
