tirely covered by the water and was badly

Mrs. Keil, Married ne Sixteen, Makes
Serious Charges of Cruelty.
FREMONT, Neb., June 9.--(Special.)-
The divorce case of Mrs. Cora @. Keii of
this city against john L. Keil of Blair
has been drawing full houses at the dis
trict court room the last two days. Mrs.
Keil. who is daughter OF Major ]. A.
Garner OF Nickerson, was married to the
defendant twelve years ago when only IS
years old. She has produced a number OF
witnesses who testified that the reverend
gentleman was rather poor provider and
that she was compelled to take in wash
ing 20 keep the wolf from the door. She
also introduced evidence that he had
choked and beaten her and threatened to
Kill her. The defendant denied all these
charges. According to his witnesses. he
conducted himself always in a becoming
manner and as becomes a clergyman in
good standing. while his wife, who is sew
nteen years his junior. was lacking in
some OF the necessary qualifications Of a
minister's wife. The strongest fight lie
over the custody OF their three children.
Mrs. Keil left her husband last winter and
is olerklng in a Fremont store. Keil is an
ordained minister OF the United Brethren
church. but for the last few years has
had no parish or particular occupation.
Each side is represented by an array of
legal talent and the case is likely to be
finally settled in the supreme court.
