But the young author was a different
person.

DIVORCE SOUGHT BY BOXER
Howard Maybery Backs Out of Match Between
Himself and Faithless Aleathea-They
Married in Sunny California.

Howard Mayberry, light weight
boxing champion OF the u. S. navy,
seeks . divorce from Aleathea May
berry on the grounds that she
turned out to be q rotten lemon
In the garden OF love. ....
Msyberry was serving his country
In the navy and was doing some
boxing In Los Angeles when he
met the yamping Aleathea, who
wheedled him into committing mat
rinony when under the influence
Of California wine.
The union took place In Los
Angeles on April is, 1921, when
Nayberry was only 20 years of
age and Aleathea, the sly siren,
was only 1s years old, so she
claimed. As soon as Mayberry
regained his right mind, loves fond
dream began to fade away.

berry informs Judge Magney in
particular and the whole world in
general that the artful Aleathea
treated him IN q cruel and In

The attention of this reform ad
ministration Is called to the fac
that one OF the lowest, dirtiest
most indecent and lawless dens Of
deprayity and degeneracy is con.
Quoted by Joe Lyons at No. LOT,
N. First avenue East.
Joe Lyons is a coiored man and
he is credited with owning and
conducting three separate and dis.
tinct dens OF infamy. One is In
charge of his woman Lottie Lyons
at No. 1915 North Third st., Su.
perior. The one involved in this
narrative Is at the place stated In
the foregoing. just two block from
the police station.
Joe Lyons dive in Duluth .oc
cupies all of a frame building thai
spraddles over q lot two doors
back Of the gospel hall on tho
second floor Of the brick building
on the corner Of First st. and First
Ave. e.
Bodies of both black and white
women are sold to ncentious males
at Joe Lyons dive for monetary
consideration. Along with carnal
entertainment. the white and black
wantons engage in acts Of depravity
and degeneracy that cannot be de-
scribed in publication like the
Great Family Journal. <
Lewd young men, actuated by
lust and low moral endeavor,- get
up a party, go to Joe Lyons' dive,
make UP a purse by throwing in a
dollar apiece and then the black
and white harlots go through
stunts that make the unexpErgated
shrabiaH Nights tales seem like
Dottfe Dimpls Sunday school stories.
The black girls and the white
girls strip off their scanty raj
ment and then 60 through their
saturnalian stunts before the VISIT
ing sports. You can, dear reader,
let your mind run riot without
plumbing the depths OF depravity
and degeneracy shown by those
poor, miserable "gold-diggers" for
Joe Lyons.
The local police may know Of this
dive and they may not. This being
a reform administration, 1t is not
likely that either the chief Of
police or the commissioners know
anything about the resort and they
probably will not believe what the
Rip-saw herein tells.
II the high-minded public SER
wants around police headquarters or
the city hall doubt the truth OF this
narrative, let them detail Lieut..
Jack Englert to Investigate and
report.
Joe Lyons seems to have escaped
much attention from the police,
both in Duluth and Superior. Some
time ago. he was arrested and re-
lieved OF $40 in Bfngoland for
breaking the speed limit with his
blue Buick roadster. Lottie Lyons,
Joe's woman, has been arrested any
number of times In Superior for
plying her nefarfous redlight trade.
