MEQH2g l4ME iHEnZf ~ ~ rNH EEdEGsH
SAND POINT, Idaho, Oct. 6.-That
for 10 years he has been compelled
to abandon good positions and move to
other towns on account Of false re-
ports respecting his moral character
set afloat by his wife, Lula B. Potter,
is the charge made by c. r. Potter,
manager Of the Interstate Telephone
company at Occur d'Alene, who has
filed q suit for divorce here.
Cruel and inhuman treatment is al
legged by Potter, who ayers that his
wife forced him to resign positions as
manager of the telephone exchanges
at Billings, Red COAX, Iowa, and Fort
Madison, Iowa, as wei as leave Oska-
Loosa, Ia, and Indianoia, iowa.
G. R. Potter was formerly manager
Of the Bell Telephone company in Bill
ings. Mrs. Potter is now employed
as night chief operator BY the Bell
company, having held the position
most Of the time since her husband
left Billings about II months ago.
Mrs. Potter expressed considerable
surprise last might when told that di.
vorce proceedings had been instituted
by her husband and said his charges
were unfounded.
Mrs. Potter was very much affected
by the news and said she could not say
what action she would take as she had
not received any intimation that her
husband contemplated divorce pro
ceedings.
