Wife Seeks Divorce

Because her husband persisted in telling her stories that were vile and vulgar and used corresponding language in the presence of her friends, Hazel Creson is seeking a divorce from Luther C. Creson. The complaint charges that he has a violent temper and an ugly disposition; has held her religion to ridicule. In addition he attended dances with other women, she says. She asks the custody of a minor, Doris Virginia, age 3, and whatever relief the court may order. The couple were married in Salem June 3, 1917.

Both parties formerly resided in Lewiston, and are widely known there and the Potlatch country, Mrs. Bradbury especially as she was in Juliaetta for a number of years.

Mr. Bradbury is now the president of the state bank here and it is with sincere pleasure we welcome his bride to our social circle. The scarcity of houses is inconveniencing them for the present but Mr. Bradbury will probably build in the spring.
