Los Angeles. Aug q GP-Charlie Chaplin will have the lead role in g court scene tomorrow that lacks all costs him s75o,oo0.
 At that time his wife. Lita Grey Chaplin will seek the final decree in the lnterlocutory divorce granted her on August P. 1927. With it goes a court award of s75o,o
 The announcemnt was made today by Roland Rich Woolley, attorney for Mrs. Chaplin.
 Reports that Mrs. Chaplin would marry Roy Darcy. film actor. were current here today.
 "The day when the decree be- comes final will be just like any other day to me-" Chaplin said As a matter of fact I hadn't even given it thought"
 Asked regarding her reported marriage Mrs, Chaplin said:
 Tt would be foolish for me to say We are going to be married. first because MT. Darcy is not in po- sition to do so and second because one can never tell what will happen in the meantime, We are of course very dear friends and while we have discussed the subject on several oc- casions we have never reached a definite decision and probably will not until he Is in a position to talk marriage"
 Darcy was granted an interlocu- tory divorce six months ago. but six months more must elapse before he can seek the final court decree.

Ancient Paper
Gives Up Ghost
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16.-The
famous Inyo County Independent,
one of California; s Oldest news
papers, has printed its final issue,
it was learned here today.
The paper, whose press was once
used by Bret Harte, has for some
years been the center of the bitter
water feud in Owens valley.
1t was controlled by Mark and
w. w. Watterson, bankers, who
were recently convicted of embez-
element and sentenced to San Quen-
tin when their five banks in the
valley collapsed.
The press of the Independent was
brought around the horn and lost
in the water of San Pedro harbor
when an attempt was made to land
it.
1t was later reclaimed and used
for a time at San Diego, being later
taken to Virginia City and set up
during the gold rush.
According to John w. Dixon, Sec
retary of the Inyo Chamber of
Commerce, the entire establishment
of the Independent can be purchas-
ed for $3.50.
