Gus @. Kaesemacher, for many
years a resident of this county, but
who recently moved from Pilot Knob
to De Soto, has filed a suit for divorce
from his wife Andromeda, in the
circuit court in Jefferson county.
Among the allegations in the plain
tiffs petition are: "Of divorce upon
the grounds that the defendant has
been guilty of such cruel and bar
barous treatment of plaintiff as to
endanger his life, in this that she as
saulted and choked the plaintiff, ex-
erting all her strength in her effort
to choke him to death. Also, that
the defendant has offered to the
plaintiff such indignities as to render
his condition iutolerable, having no
affection for plaintiff, no care to
please him, refusing to accompany
him to places of entertainments or
pleasure, without cause falling into
fits of anger and pouting for hours;
wrote him after 9 years of absence:
"We can only be friends, can never
hope to be any thing else to each
other" Kept the house in an an
livable condition" The case will
come up for trial at the September
term of the Jefferson County Court.
