| PHOENIX, June 19.-Mrs. Kate
 Hammer of Albambra, through her ai
 torney, J. M. Jamison, yesterday filed suit for divorce against her husband
 William s. Hammer. on the general
 ground Of cruelty, committed in a va
 riety Of ways and extending over the
 greater period of their married life
 which began in Phoenix in November ! lSS9. IL is charged that he began
 taunting her with her poverty and
 telling her that she had nothing when
 ne married her, fact of which says
 the complaint. the defendant was well ! aware at the time.
 IL is mentioned that on one occasion
 the defendant found a nest of eggs in A Held some distance from the house and he came back "jawing" because
 his wife had not found it sooner. He Frequently made invidious comoari. sons between his wife's style of cook.
 ing and the culinary accomplishments of his mother and sisters and now aad | then. to impress his wife with the sac.
 rifice he had made in marrying her.
 he told her that he had a chance to
 marry woman worth S60.00O In the
 meantime she was milking cows, haul !! ing the milk to a Phoenix creamery.
 and otherwise conducting herself like
 a hired girl rather than as the wife of
 citizen in easy circumstances.
 Once, while she was getting dinner
 the defendant so annoyed the plaintiff
 by quarreling with her. that she forgot
 some biscuits she had in the oven un- til she began to smell them. They were burned and when the husband mi hni ,.ha l,1 delivered himself as follows: God
 damn such a woman anyway" and
 again he threatened to bring his mother to show her how to cook.
 The plaintiff immediately after this,
 went to the home of her parents where she remained for a wek The defend ant solicited her to return to niIn, and
 she did so, but the old life went on. At length she was so worndown that, yielding to the request of her mother,
 she asked her husbands permission to accompany her mother to San Diego. They had hardly got settled down
 there until the defendant suddenly ap- peared without warning and one day found his wife engaged in combing her
 hair. He charged her with fixing
 up'' to meet her fellow" and persisted
 in hIs suspicion in spite of the plain tiffs mothers assurance that they
 were just getting ready to visit one
 of the public institutions of the city. Frequently after that, the complaint
 states the defendant would leave the
 house in advance of the plaintiff tell ing her to meet him at a designated place. She seldom found him there at the time agreed upon, but presently she would discover him in hiding, eyi. dently spying upon her. When she re- preached him he would say that he
 was trying to cash a glimpse of the
 other fellow
 After their return home they went | to Chicago and visited various points
 in the east where the pleasure of the plaintiff was marred by her husbands
 insane jealousy. Some time after they l came back, the husband, the complaint
 states, began spending a great deal oi | time in Phoenix in dissipation and | returned home intoxicated Finally
 he brought a revolver and the plaintiff | began to fear violence, but the defend ant informed her that the gun was not | for her. but fur men who had been | sneaking about the house that he in ! tended to show them how to sneak In the meantime he began calling | the plaintiff names and at length he | laid violent hands upon her and then came the separation. The complaint
 states that the defendant has property | in Phoenix, Peoria, H., and ranch land in the vicinity of Alhambra, worth al | together not less than s30,000. This
 is described as community property of which the plaintiff asks the court ! to see that she gets her proper share IL is mentioned that at the time of | the beginning of the action every cent | the plaintiff had in the world was
 S2.20. She had to borrow the rest oi l the money to pay for the filing of hel papers. She had nothing tO pay heI i attorney, who had beside incurred | some expense in collecting together | the facts in the case.
 ! On account of the trouble she has had, the plaintiff states that it is nee | essary for her to go to the coast oI | somewhere else outside of the valley
 She estimates closely the cost of .he journey, including railroad and Pull man fare to Los Angeles. That will | take s40. It will take S15 a week tC l enable her to live abroad and some little money, she does not know pre- | cisely how much, to establish her in 1 housekeeping in a small way iE order | that she may exist as economically as possible. The court is also asked tc l prevent the defendant from dissipating her property until this matter shall be I ,.F
