WANTS To QUIT
Grace Mcmillan Has Been Mar
ried but Six Weeks.
Now She Is Asking the Court
for a Divorce.

Still a minor and married only since
March IT, Grace Mcmillan, in a di-
yorce petition filed in the district court
today, tells the tale of a lifetime of
domestic infelicity crowded into six
brief weeks.
Mcmillan. Although she is married
and tells a story of her own exper-
fences sufficient for the fabric of a
sordid drama, she is still too young to
institute court proceedings in her own
name. The case is brought for her
by her next friend" Myrtle Cunning
ham.
In the words of Grace's petition
Archie was free and easy with his
money when it was liquor for his own
use he was buying but when she
bought u dozen bananas for her own
consumption he made the air blue with
his curses while he gave her a lecture
on the evils of extravaganza.
Grace says they were married
March IT and that her husband soon
began to drink, that the habit grew
upon him rapidly and some time ago
he began to drink to excess. She de-
clares that it is the custom with him
to leave home sober and return drunk
She says he spends most of the money
they have for liquor and that when she
asks for money with which to pur-
chase the ingredients for a meal for
lWO liS SlFCo lACA twenty VI l"Obly
five cents.
The wife says Mcmillan has vio-
lent temper, for which she does not
hold him responsible, but that he
makes no effort to control it, and for
that she does hold him responsible.
She says he calls her low and degrad-
ing names, that he hurls obscene Ian
guage at her and has even threatened
her life On April 26, she says, he
threatened to kill her and did produce
a revolver. She says he slapped her
and used the most seandalous Ian
guage in referring to her. Mrs. Nc
MILAN, married six weeks, says she
doesn't care to continue on the matri-
monial voyage on which she emba rked
and wants to leave the ship. She
asks for the assistance of the judge of
the district court and having spent
all the twenty-five cent pieces her
husband has given her to provide
table for the two of them she files a
poverty affidavit stating that she is
unable to put up a deposit for costs.
