SAYS WIFE DEMANDED
he WASH THE DISHES
Uniontown, Pa, Man Brings
Peculiar Charges Against
His 'Helpmate."

Uniontown, Pa.-Special: Becase his
wife soon after their marriage de-
manded that william e. Shelley should
do the scrubbing. dish washing. sweep
in, making of beds and washing, their
married life soon became unhappy. He
refused to do the house work and she
pouted. He brought an action for di-
vorce. alleging cruel and barbarous
treatment. Judge ]. Q. Van Swear
ingen granted him divorce.
According to the testimony produced
before the master. william Il. and Min
ME G. Shelley were married at Cum
berland. Md. March 16. 1901. Soon at
ter their marriage she wanted to go
west. He did not care to go. She went
and soon returned. This was the first
unpleasantness. They afterward went
to housekeeping at Ross Kings Up
per Turkeyfoot township, Somerset
county.
There, it was alleged. she informed
her husband that he was to do the bulk
Of the housework. He demurred. Soon
she would not get the meals promptly
and often nagged. When he went out
at night she locked him out. Once, he
said in his testimony. she hit him with
pitcher and smashed the vessel. She
clothes.
AS final act of indignity to his
wounded feelings, she made up her own
side Of the bed and mussed his side. 80
he told the master. Mr.. Shelley said
he believed his wife was lazy. He
taught school and did not have time
to do all the house work. Mr.. Shelley
now lives at Connellsville and Mrs
Shelley Is In Somerset county.
