MUSICIAN SEEKS DIVORCE.
Mrs Madeline Kotz Charges Husband
With Extreme Cruelty.

Mrs. Madeline KotZ, through her
attorney, M. g. O'Donnell, has insti-
tuted an action in the municipal
court of Kenosha county, demanding
a divorce from her husband, Mark H.
Kotz. Mrs. Kotz is one of the best
known musicians in the city and at
present a piano player at the Rhode
Opera House. Mr.. and Mrs. Kotz
were married at Los Angeles, CAL, on
Jan. IS, 1908, and at the time of her
marriage Mrs. Kotz was the leader of
one of the largest orchestras in Los
Angeles. Shortly after the marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Kotz removed to Seattle
and the complaint alleges that short
ly after settling in that city the hus-
band began his cruel treatment of the
wife. Mrs. Kotz makes several speci-
fic charges of cruelty claiming that
her husband has struck her on vari-
Gus occasions, the last one being only
| a few days ago.
Mrs. Kotz demands that her hus-
band be enjoined from entering their
home on Market street or from any
way interfering with her liberty DUR
| ing the tendency Of the action. It is
probable that the case will be tried
at the next term Of the municipal
court.
