PLAYS HOOKEY;
GETS WHIPPING; LEAVES HOME.
----------
John Wells, the twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wells, of Main street, Walkerville, left his home Friday evening about 5 o'clock to escape a whipping that was to have been given him for playing "hookey." The matter was reported to the police by the parents of the lad, who were greatly concerned. He was found as he attempted to board the east bound 12:32 car at the station this morning. He was taken in charge and returned to his parents, where, no doubt, he received two whippings instead of the one he had been promised.Saturday Afternoon, February 13, 1913

ASKING FOR DIVORCE

Says Wife Refuses to Cook For Her Step-Children
----------
Richard Wells
this afternoon, through his attorney, J. Oscar Hall,
brought suit for divorce against his wife, Bertha Wells. They were
married on St. Patrick’s Day, 1908, and separated March 29, 1912. To this
union two children, Reuben, two, and Harlan, three, were born.
The plaintiff
alleges the defendant is cruel and inhuman in her treatment; that she has an
ungovernable temper; that she is vulgar. The plaintiff has three children by a
former wife and he alleges his present wife has refused to cook for her
step-children. They are owners of property valued at $1,200, and on which there
is a $700 mortgage and he asks for a settlement in the property affairs as well
as a divorce decree.Friday April 5, 1912
