Divorce
AFTER THIRTY YEARS
OF Welded Life Mrs. Frances
E. Lawrence Would Separ-
ate From G. W. Lawrence
Family is Well Known

After having lived together for
nearly 80 years and with three
grown children and one child nearly
grown, the marriage uniting Mr.. and
Mrs. George w. Lawrence, well
known people of the Palisade COM
munity, in all probability will be an
nulled.
This morning in the county court
Mrs. Frances Elizabeth Lawrence
filed a suit for an absolute divorce
from her husband, George B. Law
renee.
The couple were married May 2,
1881. in Oswego, Kans. Some years
ago they moved to this county and
have resided here ever since.
Four children have blessed the un-
ion-Clarence, aged "a years. Ethel,
aged 81 years; Mabel, aged 19 years,
and Milton, aged 16 years.
The wife declares that she has
made a loyal and true wife; yet in
1904, without any cause, the hus-
band deserted his wife and family,
and is now, the wife has reason to
believe, in New Mexico. He left his
family on November 10, 1904. On
the groud of desertion Mrs. Law
renee asks for a divorce. She also
asks that she be given the custody
of the 16-year-old boy until he is of
age.
The family is widely known in the
Palisade section and is also well
known in Grand Junction. Mrs. Law
renee is highly respected. The hus-
band had many warm friends in the
county. .E
1t is rare thing for a man or
woman who has been welded for
quarter of century or more to seek
a divorce.

Weak in Catchers.

That is about as short a collection
OF padmen as was ever on a major
league clubs roster. The backstopping
was a weak spot in washington all last
season, and, by the same token, It
promises to be even worse next year.
There is only the possibility Street
may be a King or Billy Sullivan in
disguise, but. even if he is, one good
cub and one veteran are not enough.
This talk about third basemen and
shorJstops being so important that the
club can afford TO carry them If they
are marvellous FEEDERS but weak hitters
is not highly convincing on team
with seven other regulars who are
brilliant Eitters. or had the brains to
make up for lack of b.ugles, like the
Chicago White SOx, this would be the
right dope, perhaps, but the Washing
ton team last season did not show either
smuggling or science that would justify
short and third being filled by Nc
