SAD CASE.
Mrs. Ada Simmons Horn, who became
enamored of commercial drummer about
SIX months ago and married him because he
was such a lovely and wealthy man, TODAY
comes INTO court with bewildered look
upon her pretty face and applies for di-
vorce from the gay deceiver She tells the
court that Mr.. c. w. Horn, her hus
band, has .desersed her; failed to
support her; committed the most
brutal assaults upon her with his
nst when she was in almost dying condi-
ton and forged her name to checks upon
olnerent occasions. And all this time she
had acted the part of a loyal and true wife
TO him. The court granted decree of di-
vorce without further testimony. It is to
be regretted that Miss Ada Simmons be-
came prey to the wiles OF the scoundrel.
Horn, as she was respected and popular
lady. We trust however, that out of this
unfortunate case little good will result by
way of teaching her associates and others
who are familiar with the matter to beware
OF the black-legged and smooth tongued
devils who make it a part of their business
to deceive and betray innocent girls.
