A Queer Case.
Special to the Register.

PARKERSBURG, W.. Va, March IL
The case of a woman suing for a divorce
from a man to whom she was never mar
ried, but with whom she had lived for six
teen years, supposing they were married,
came to light yesterday in the hearing OF
the suit for divorce. 1t developed in the
course of the trial that in 1885 James Dyke
and Mamie D.. Claway secured a license
to marry. in Washington county, Ohio.
Not knowing that the license was not
good in West Virginia, they came to this
county and were married by a preacher
who either did not look at the license or
else did not know any better. Until after
the divorce case went to trial they both
thought they were married, and both Were
surprised to find their case dismissed be
cause there could be no divorce where
there had been no marriage. The court
annulled the alleged marriage and re-
leased them both from all marital bonds.
They lave no children.
