MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 26.-Nel-
lie M. Johnson-Lamar, ten years
old, has brought suit for divorce
against her husband, Newlan La
mar, who is more than three times
as old as his wife, and still young
man. He is 80. Mrs. Lamar al
leges in her petition that Lamar
lured her into wedlock while yet
she was too young to know her own
mind. She was married year ago,
when she was a child of nine.
The wedding caused big local
sensation. When it became gener-
ally known that Lamar had i'm
posed upon mere child, fierce in
dignatiOn was rife in New South
Memphis, and a hurriedly organic
ed mob sought Lamar. He de-
camped instanter and escaped
lynching.
Nellie Johnson and Newlan La
mar were married on July Is, 1909.
Lamar secured a license, drove to
the home of the Rev. T.. r. OVERLY,
and thence, with the minister, to
the Johnson home. On the way he
explained to the minister that the
girl was much older than she ap-
peared to be.

house was reached, so when the

did not and do not ask that the

we ask is a fair share of the water
which does manage to get up on
the south hill. What we protest
against is this-that the men in
charge of the pump at Fourteenth
avenue are overzealous in drain
ing the standpipe at Fourteenth
land Grand for the benefit of the
Twenty ninth street pipe. 1t Is an
undisputed fact that the people who
live farther Out-all those people
who are supplied by the Twenty
ninth street standpipe-have not
had a shortage of water at all this
year, when | U can only speak for
myself have not had water enough
for household purposes any day 1or

interviewed the man at the pump
house his gauges showed that at
that very moment the Fourteenth
street standpipe was absolutely
empty and that the Twenty-ninth
street pipe was from one-th!rd to
one-half full 1t is perfectly OBJ
