John Schlupp and Mrs. John Schlupp, nee Miss Agness Ulrik, no longer desire to be Mr. and Mrs. John Schlupp. No sooner had Mrs. Schlupp's attorneys filed a bill for divorce Tuesday afternoon and secured a temporary injunction restraining him from disposing of household goods or drawing money on deposit, than the attorneys of Mr. Schlupp appeared on the scene to file a bill of divorce for him against Mrs. Schlupp. As Mrs. Schlupp's bill was already filed, the husband's bill was not filed.

Mrs. Schlupp sets up their marriage May 5, 1896, the birth of four children of whom two are living, the youngest being nine months old. She charges extreme cruelty and that for three weeks previous to Feb. 13, he refused to speak to her and that on the evening of that day he called her abusive names and drove her into the street with her two children and that she was afraid to return home.

She says that Mr. Schlupp owns the house on W. Liberty street, worth six or seven hundred dollars and has over $800 on deposit in the bank. She wants a divorce, permanent alimony, and the care, custody and education of her two baby girls.
