him and swore she would kill him. He
told her then that If that state of af-
fairs was repeated. he would leave her
and she said IL he did and she ever
saw him again she would kill him.
Then matters somewhat cooled"
says the complaint, but repeated itself
with her calling plaintiff ugly names
and cursing him. and on one occasion
struck him with her fist. Then on her
own motion and accord she refused to
sleep with ham and compelled him TO
fix up a bed for himself" On Deem
Der p. 1894, without cause she drew
cooked pistol and pointed II at him
and swore she would kill him, and from
