Kraft, Augusta [Gehm] - 1898

Harry Kraft, the well-known restaurant keeper of Clay avenue, has left the house and his whereabouts are unknown.  His wife entered proceedings for a divorce on Wednesday.

Kraft remodeled his house last winter at a great expense and filed papers asking for a license.  At the license court he was turned down.  Some days ago his personal property fell into the hands of the sheriff.  Shortly afterwards he left his wife and nothing has been heard of {paper illegible}.  Mrs. Kraft now applies for a separation.

The petitioner alleges that her husband was offered such indignities within the past year and half, that her life has been burdensome, and she has been forced to withdraw from her house and family.  She further charges him with striking her.

Mr. Harry Kraft and Augusta Kraft were married on November 27, 1896 {?}. {paper illegible} and McGeary are attorneys for the petitioner.
