Mrs. Myrtle Watson, of this city, has filed a bill of divorce against her husband Charles H. Watson, alleging extreme cruelty. They were married in October, 1896, and have one child, aged six. The bill charges that he had choked her and struck her and that on one occasion he broke her nose, that on Christmas Eve he struck her with a  box of cigars and that he had threatened to shoot her and also to cut her throat with a razor and that about a year ago he stabbed her with a knife in the back. She asks for the custody of the child and that the husband be restrained from disposing of a mortgage on their home or of the household property.
