Troubles in the Family.

This community WAS treated to
mild sensation when the Denver pa
pers came In Saturday evening, and
announced that Mrs. George L. Greer
of Grand Junction, had filed papers
for an absolute divorce from her hus-
band, Captain George L. Greer,
charging infidelity and non-support.
1t is alleged that some very sensa-
tional allegations will be made In
connection with the first charge.
Mrs. Greer will seek the custody OF
the only child, John Greer, aged
about five years.
Speaking of the affair, the Grand
Junction Sentinel says:
The announcement Of the deter
mination of the young wife to be
separated from her husband will
come as great surprise to the many
friends of each. The couple came to
this city about two years ago, having
formerly resided at Meeker.
Attorney Greer has been very
prominent in political and legal cir
cles ever since coming to Grand juno
ton. He is at present county attor-
ney and advisor of the board Of coun-
ty commissioners, having succeeded
Judge Charles F. Caswell, now justice
of the supreme court, In this office.
For the past five months he has been
the junior member of the we'll known
firm of Logan and Greer.
Mr.. Greer left the city Friday night
and it is reported today that he left
not expecting to return.
The affair is II most unfortunate
one. Attorney Greer had many ex-
cellent qualities and had a splendid
opportunity to build up a large prac-
tice here but from all accounts he has
been inclined to be very wild, es-
pecially of late. He is man Of at
tractive personality.
