granted all that she asked.
Mrs. Nystrand stated in her petition that
she was married to Carl Nystrand Jan.
a. 1892. and that she lived peacefully with
him until December, 1895, when he began
to maltreat and abuse her. On one occa-
sion, she stated, he attacked her with
butcher knife and threatened her life. At
ter that she refused to live with him, ex-
cept in house where there were other
parties. She also stated that he once drew
a gun on her and threatened to kill her.
On account of his conduct, she could no
longer live with him, she said. There was
no opposition, and the jury granted the
verdict without leaving their seats.
