LUCAS -- Mrs. Kate Tannehill has applied for divorce from her husband, C.O. Tannehill.  Years ago, Tannehill was a prominent and prosperous citizen of this place.  He was mayor of the town and stood well in the community.  He became involved in financial troubles however, and suddenly left for parts unknown.  Nothing was known of his whereabouts for several years, but he was finally located in the "No Man's Land" of Indian Territory.  The divorce is asked for on the grounds of desertion.
