This was an action for divorce, instituted by David O’Sullivan, plaintiff, against Margaret O’Sulli*482van, defendant, in the superior court of King county. Defendant appeals from the following judgment, entered in the trial court in such action:
“This cause having been regularly tried on the 4th day of August, 1903, upon the issues framed by the complaint, the answer, and the reply of the respective parties, the plaintiff appearing in person and by his attorney of record, and the defendant appearing in person and by her attorneys of record, and the testimony of witnesses in behalf of the respective parties having been duly submitted to the court, and the court having heretofore made its findings of fact and conclusions of law herein, making and stating the same separately, and having filed the same herein, from which it appears that all the material allegations of the complaint are sustained by the testimony, that there is no issue of the marriage between the plaintiff David O’Sullivan and the defendant Margaret O’Sullivan, and that all the property held by them, with the exception of lots numbered one (1) and two (2) in block numbered thirty (30) in Burke’s Second Addition to the city of Seattle, is community property, and all and singular the law and the premises being by the court understood and fully considered, it is hereby

*484The assignments of error practically present hut two questions for our consideration on this appeal.
(1) It is contended that the court below erred in granting respondent a divorce from appellant on the grounds of cruelty as alleged in the complaint The trial court found, on this branch of the present controversy, that,
“The defendant has for several years last past treated the plaintiff with great cruelty and inflicted upon him indignities which have rendered his life burdensome. She has habitually called him improper and degrading names and frequently scolded him in a loud and boisterous manner. The plaintiff and the defendant can no longer live together as husband and wife. The plaintiff has used improper language in the presence of the defendant and her family; but offenses in this regard have been principally committed by the defendant.”
This court has held, in numerous decisions, that, where we deemed the evidence adduced in the trial court as evenly balanced, or not clearly in appellant’s favor, we were inclined to sustain the finding of the judge, who saw and heard the witnesses. Hamar v. Peterson, 9 Wash. 152, 37 Pac. 309; Skeel v. Christenson, 17 Wash. 649, 50 Pac. 466; Washington Dredging etc. Co. v. Partridge, 19 Wash. 62, 52 Pac. 523; Cullen v. Whitham, 33 Wash. 366, 74 Pac. 581; Cochran v. Yoho, 34 Wash. 238, 75 Pac. 815. Applying this rule to the facts in the case at bar, we are not prepared to hold that the trial court erred in finding appellant guilty of acts of cruelty towards respondent, as charged in the complaint. The testimony abundantly shows that respondent and appellant were industrious and frugal individuals; that respondent was a person of even temper, possessed the faculty of getting along smoothly with his employers, and was generally considered a good neighbor. There was also testimony in respondent’s behalf tending to show that appellant was in the habit of applying vile and *485opprobrious epithets to her husband, without cause or reason; that respondent did not retaliate, but remained passive. Witness Jonathan Gifford testified that about one year before the trial, he took appellant off the street one evening and carried her into the house, at a time when she was under the influence of liquor and somewhat disorderly ; that when in such a condition she was quite abusive, and had a good command of rough language. Mrs. O’Sullivan, while on the witness stand, denied that she had ever called her husband vulgar names or had applied to him opprobrious epithets, and emphatically contradicted all the statements of Gifford as to having been drunk and disorderly, and that he had picked her up off ihe street and carried her into the house. There was, also, some evidence in appellant’s behalf tending to show that respondent had used improper language in the presence and hearing of Mrs. O’Sullivan and her family. We feel, after a careful examination of the record, that we would not be justified insetting aside the above finding, or in reversing the decision of the lower court on the main issues of the present controversy.
(2) The more serious contentions respecting this litigation arise over the adjustment of the property rights between the parties. The able counsel for appellant contend, vigorously,- that their client was treated -very inequitably in this respect; that Mrs. O’Sullivan should have been awarded the premises designated in the record as Ho. 925-Washington street in the city of Seattle, in addition to other property given her. The valuation placed on this properly, by competent witnesses who testified at the hearing, was $4,250, and it constituted a part of the property awarded respondent in the division made by the superior court. It appears from the evidence that, at the time re*486spondent and appellant intermarried in 1888, he was the owner of lots 1 and 2 in block 30, Burke’s Second Addition to Seattle, which was of the value of $400. These lots were set over to respondent. The trial court found, among other things, that all the real estate and household furniture described in the above decree, save these two lots in Burke’s Second Addition, were acquired by them since their marriage, and in its decree divided the same approximately equally between the parties, giving to each property of the value of about eight thousand dollar’s.
The appellant urges that the testimony showed that her individual earnings, accumulated prior to her marriage with respondent, constituted the sole and exclusive consideration for the purchase of the property described as the west 30 feet of east 60 feet of Lot LTo. 5, Blk. 7, in Terry’s Fifth Addition to Seattle. The value of this property, as shown by the testimony, was $1,300. It appears^ however, that this property was purchased by appellant a little over one year after her marriage with Mr. O’Sullivan, and that both members of the community were frugal and industrious, and accumulated money. All property accumulated by husband and wife, during the continuance of the marriage relation, is presumed to be community property, and we fail to find sufficient evidence to overcome such presumption with regard to the property in question. Under the showing made, we think we would not be warranted in taking from respondent, and setting off to appellant, the property known as 925 Washington street, Seattle, in addition to the property and interests which had already been awarded to her.
As we find no reversible error in the record, the judgment of the court below must be affirmed, and it is so ordered.
