FORGOT He

Wife Says That Her Husband Acted
Like a Modern Lo-
thariO.
MIDDLEDRAkCH PAIRS TROUBLE.

Ada Cocklin, of Middlebranch, has
sued Anthony B. Cocklin for divorce
and alimony. They were married in
1896 and have three children. The
general charges made are desertion
and gross neglect of duty. The petit
tion states that while they lived in
Cleveland, the husband went to Sag
anaw, Mich, and although caring SIS
a month he failed to send enough
money to support his wife, who was
sick and among strangers. He advised
her to go to her fathers home, she
claims.
The charge is made that while at
Saganaw he represented himself to be
a single man, visited other women,
took them driving, attended dances
with them, and that instead OF send
ing money to his wife he Iavished IL
upon these other women, buying them
expensive dresses and other presents.
About year ago Cocklin was ar
rested on the charge of non-support
and was ordered by the court to con-
tribute IS week for the support Of
his children, which he has done, but
gives nothing to mis- wife, it is alleged.
Attorney l.. c. Wise represents the
plaintiff.
