            That plaintiff and defendant were married on the 2nd day of April, 1910 and lived together as husband and wife until the 23rd day of February 1915, at which time they separated and that they have not lived or cohabited as husband and wife since that date.
            Plaintiff says that said defendant has for more than two years last past wholly failed to make a reasonable or any provision for the support of this plaintiff.
            That defendant for a long time prior to their said separation has been guilty of habitual drunkenness and is now an habitual drunkard.
            That for more than two y ears immediately prior to their said separation said defendant was guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment of this plaintiff in this:  That defendant called this plaintiff vile names, struck and beat this plaintiff and frequently cursed her.
            Wherefore plaintiff prays that the bonds of matrimony heretofore subsisting between plaintiff and defendant be dissolved, and that plaintiff be granted an absolute divorce from said defendant; that her name prior to her said marriage, to wit, Lora May Haehl be restored to her, for her costs in this action and all other proper relief.
