Yet Another Nev Divorce Case.

Another new divorce case has been filed in the clerk’s office for the coming February term of the circuit court. As has been the case with about all the recent divorce cases in this county, one of the parties lives at Pari or vicinity, and it looks like the divorce disease must be epidemic up around that region. The plaintiff in this new case is Mamie McMurray and the defendant Jay McMurray. The complaint states that they were married Mareh 80, 1901 and lived together until Oct. 6th, 1905, when she was obliged to leave him on account of his con tinual cruel and inhuman treatment. This treatment began soon after they were married and tho he often made good promises for better treatment he continually broke them, and now she asserts that it will be impossible for ( them to live together again. He is said to have an uncontrollable temper and a very jealous hearted natur e which surely is a very awkward combination to have around the house. He has persistently charg ed her with lewd conduct with other men, which charges she declares to be wholly and entirely false, and on Oct 6th, 1905 he discharged at her a fusillade of profane and opprobrious epithets of which only a sample of the mildest are given in the complaint. The plaintiff’s maiden name was Mamie Myres. As before stated she lives at Parr, but tho it is stated that he still resides in this county his address is not given. No mention is made of any children as the fruits of their marriage nor of property from which alimony should be granted, and hence it is presumable that there ;is none of either.
