Mr. and Mrs. Peck were married in March 1902, and separated July 6, 1922. Mrs. Peck formerly lived in Rush county. She charges that her husband abandoned her. The wife says that her husband is fifty years old, that he makes $50 a week, and lives in a palatial apartment in the Spink-Arms hotel, at Indianapolis. She states that he has diamonds and an automobile valued at more than $1,000.
Mrs. Peck states that her husband failed to provide, and that he refused to provide a home for her and their two children other than a house in the country some distance from any town. The house she states, was on her father’s farm, and was provided by his father. The plaintiff asserts that she supported herself and the two children by her own work, and that she cared for cows, chickens and a garden in order to obtain money. The wife states her husband was away from their home most of the time, and that when he did return was cross and quarrelsome. The treatment, she says, continued for eight years. On the day of their final separation her husband called her on the telephone and told her that he would not live with her longer.

Mrs. Joseph Peck one of the older residents of Blue Ridge, was the victim of a serious accident at eleven o'clock today. Mrs. Peck, who had been washing, went to the door to empty a bucket of water. She slipped and fell on the wet floor. In an effort to save herself she struck the ground on her hands. The ulna in her right wrist snapped and her left wrist was dislocated. Her screams brought the assistance of her husband, who carried her into the house. Dr. Inlow was called and dressed the injured wrists. Mrs. Peck will be seventy-one years old next month.Monday Afternoon, January 19, 1914.
