A Divorce Granted.

Mrs. Vira Van Eta was granted di-
vorce Saturday morning by Judge Dun
widdie, from her husband, George Van
Eta, on the ground of cruel and in
human treatment. Geo. c.. Sutherland
appeared for the plaintiff and John
Cunningham represented Mr.. Van Eta,
who made no defense. There was no
order of the court regarding the alimony
that matter having been settled between
the interested parties.
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Eta resided here
for many years and some time ago they
went to reside at Koshkonong. The
testimony of the plaintiff showed that
she had been forced to leave the defend
ant some months ago and that she had
been residing with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. 0. Vincent. Mrs Van Eta tes-
titled that her husband drank habitually
and that when he was drunk he abused
her. She cited one instance when he
struck her violently, knocking her down.
The announcement of the divorce is a
surprise to the many acquaintance of
both the plaintiff and the defendant in
the case.-Recorder.
