SEEKS DIVORCE
John W. Mellinger asks for a divorce from Amanda Mellinger alleging that before her abandonment of him, Sept. 9, 1918, she was guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment; that she ragged at him; that she refused to leave town and live on a farm; that she has sought to harass him with contentions over religion. They were married June 4, 1908.
