WANTS A DIVORCE.
Genevieve o. Nickel Charges Her
Husband with Cruelty.

Genevieve o. Nickel today petitioned for
divorce from William F. Nickel, to whom
she was married here August 4, 1891. There
was one child, girl now five years of age,
born to them, and, through Attorney f. B.
Hay, Mrs. Nickel charges that the union
was never happy one, and that her life
was rendered unbearable by the cruel acts
of her husband caused, she declares, by
his uncomfortable temper. Mrs. Nickel
further alleges that her husbands vista
tions of overt acts of cruelty and the use
of vile and blasphemous language upon
her caused her to separate from him July
II, 1896, and to go home to her mother
Upon his promise to reform she was in
duced, for the sake of their child, she
states, to return to him the 3Oth of last
September. She declares that the reform
was merely sham, and charges that she
was forced to leave him the 18th of last
May, when, she asserts, he pursued her
with hatchet. Mrs. Nickel states that
her husband is a professional man of con-
siderable practice, and she prays for an
absolute divorce, the custody of the child
and alimony and COSTS

The condition of this roof is unsatisfactory

In the marshars office the mantel has
