Two Wives File Petitions ASKING for
Legal Separations from Husbands
Asains: Whom Charger
ara Made.

The last day for filing suits in the
clerks Office of the district court is
September 9. and a number of them
have been recorded this week.
Suit has been filed by Bessie Atkins

! tiff in the suit asks the court to de-
clare the defendant the rightful pro-
WIDER of the child born to Bessie At
kins, March 81, 1920, as it's natural
father. If the defendant is so found
the plaintiff asks the court to sign an
order for money for support of the
child.
In the case of H W. Thomas against
c. e. Hicks, the plaintiff asks for a
writ of replevin for delivery of his
property from claims of defendant and
for Judgment against the defendant

the value of it if not returned, and

TIRES always something to
wonder about In boxing.
Stock In the $500, 900 champion
ship show between Dempsey and
carpenter has been acting bearish
since Frank Moran's, two-round
kayo OF Joe Beckett, the Briton,
and Dempsey's delayed knockout
sock in the Bill Brennan affair
Moran looms as possible OBJ
stacle that Carpenter may be ask
ed to get over before he returns to
this country, while Dempsey has
already agreed to give the 260-
pound blond Jess willard another
chance to win back what he lost At
Toledo.
The super-man propaganda for
Carpenter and Dempsey doesn't
ring as true as It did.
Critics aren't SO sure but what
Willard may take the spangles Oh
the title holder and that Moran
might dethrone the Frenchman If
they should meet before the main
event.
Carpenters chief claim on
greatness was his one-round fin
ish Of Beckett. Dempsey's was
that no man could stay in the ring
and live more than three or four
rounds.
These side-show preliminaries
might break up the pipe dream OF
| the fight syndicate before they pull
