She Wants Him No Longer.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Mrs Senator
Fair brings suit for divorce and says
defendant has possession and control of an
amount of community property the par
ticulars of which she cannot state. Mrs.
Fair prays judgment as follows: First,
that divorce be granted for that and that
she be awarded the custody of the chll-
dren. Second, that such portion of COM
munity property be allowed and set apart
as shall be equitable and just. Third,
that defendant be required to pay into
the court reasonable sum to defray ex-
penses of the action and counsel fees and
defendant pay alimony IN such an amount
as the court may aeem just for the sup
port of the plaintiff and children during
the pcndency Of the action and for
further relief as may be deemed just.
Mrs. Fair was represented by X. s.
Melske, of San FIanclsco, and defendant
by s. NJ. Wilson, of San Francisco, and
M. N. Stone, of Virginia. The Senator
was in Comstock last Wednesday, papers
were served on him but he left for San.
Francisco the same evening. The affair
created quite a sensation in Virginia on
account OF the high social standing in
society of the parties and the great
wealth of Fair who is also representa-
tive of Nevada United States Senate.
