She Filed a Cross Bill

Mrs. Mary E. Hammond, of Tyrone, Mich., has filed a cross bill in the suit for divorce brought against her by James A. Hammond, of York. She charges that instead of her deserting her husband, he deserted her, mortgaged his farm in Kent county, sold his personal goods excepting one cow and left her, his aged mother and a child, with a stove, a cow and a few household utensils, taking the other things with him. The farm was sold under mortgage, while she rented a small house and supported herself and child and his aged mother by hard work, not being aware of his whereabouts until served with a notice of the divorce suit. Hence she wants a divorce and the custody of her child.
