Young Mans Tobacco Habits Caused
Much of the TroubIe.
The Under divorce case proceeded in the
Superior Court yesterday. Except those ac-
tually interested in the result of the suit
there were few women present. A big crowd
of men occupied the chairs and eagerly
drank in the story of the unfortunate cou-
pies marital woes. William Under, the
husband and cross-complainant, was on the
stand yesterday. He wore bright nosegay
and looked very cool and very boyish. His
young wife, CARRIED in the suit of navy blue

The first violent quarrel in which the
couple INDUCED was on the occasion of a
visit paid to Mrs. Under by one of her
sisters. The latter brought her infant babe,
which Mrs. Under playfully placed in the
arms of her. husband, with instructions to
