Two years of welded life have
been sufficient for Pearl Coulter of
Licking county who, through her at
torney, H. G. Ashcraft, has brought
an action for divorce against her hus-
band, Alva Coulter.
Pearl was married on June 6, 1914,
and it was not so very long afterward
that she had to resort to the charity
of friends and relatives in order to
keep body and soul together. In her
petition, she charges gross neglect of
duty and recites that her husband has
failed to provide.
AS further reason why the mari
tai tie should be snapped in twain,
Pearl states that Alva has treated her
cruelty. She says that he struck her
with his fist; that he choked her and
used bad language toward her.
She no longer cares to bear his
name, if they can be separated by
the courts, desiring to be known as
she was before the fatal sixth of June
