ADAM And HIS WIFE
The Farraday Case Will Again Occupy
the Public Mind.
HE SAYS IDA HAS BEEN BAD
This Time the Husband Is Plaintiff
and VIII Try to Break the Nup-
tiai Knot With Proof of Adult
ery-Expensive Marriage.


Here are the Farradays once again
Adam yesterday commenced another
suit for divorce against his wife Ida,
and in his complaint once more recites
the fact that he was married to the de-
PENDANT in Butte on Nov. 5. 1884, and
Notwithstanding the numerous at
tempts of both to get divorced they
are still husband and wife. Ever since
the marriage, says Adam. he has con-
Quoted himself In a faithful and hus-
bandlike manner toward the defend
ant, but she. wholly disregarding her
duties as a wife and the obligation OF
her marriage vows. has been guilty OF
adultery at divers and sundry times
and dates between the third day OF
July and the first day of August OF this
year, the exact date of which acts the
plaintiff is unable to give. which acts
were committed with one Frank Allen
and with other persons whose names
are unknown to Adam. The complaint
continues by alleging that notwith-
standing her duties as wife. she did
at q certain house occupied by her al
ia South Dakota street on or about
August 20, commit adultery with the
same Frank Allen. and again on OF
about August 26 at the Partisan lodg-
ing house with one William III. Morgan
and frequently between the last men,
toned date and the first of November
the exact dates Of which the piaintin
is unable to give. the acts OF criminal
intimacy were repeated with Allen and
other men. All Of these acts were COM
mitted without the plaintiffs consent
and since he has learned Of them he
has refused to live with her and has
not condoned the offenses nor forgiven
her.
On June II and again on July 8
wholly without just cause or provoca-
ton on the part of Adam, the defend
ant drove and compelled him to leave
the room occupied by him in the house
on South Dakota street and on the last
mentioned date compelled him todeave
| the house and refused to live with him
any longer as his wife, and threatened
TO shoot and kill him IL he attempted
to reenter his room or try to live with
her in the same house. BY reason OF
such acts he was compelled to go away
and remain absent up to the present
time, to his great injury and loss. Be-
cause of all these things complained
of Adam asks the court to dissolve the
bonds of matrimony and forever alb
solve him from all obligations thereun'
| der.
The Farradays have been in the
courts half a dozen times in the pas
| five years trying to secure legal sep
aration from each other but by a curl
Gus string of unfavorable circum-
stances they were each time unsuccess'
| full. First Mrs. Farraday brought suit
| for separate maintenance and for a di'
vision of property. After that actor
had been pending for several months
Mrs. Farraday changed attorneys and
| decided that she wanted an absolute
4 IL
\ the first suit was withdrawn and ar
action for divorce Instituted. A few
months later she again changed hel
mind and attorneys and concluded tina
she did not want a divorce but tina
| separate maintenance was the thing
and the action in court was once mor'
changed. 1t was not long before sh,
experienced another change of mind
and her case finally came to trial be
fore a Jury In Judge speer's court on {
| suit for absolute divorce on the grount
! of extreme cruelty. Adam opposed he
but did not ask for affirmative relic
| for himself The result was that thu
fury decided against Ida and the ole
pair were as much married as ever
and In time went to live togethel
again. The next turn in the box was ;
suit for divorce instituted by Adam OF
the ground of cruelty and desertion
The case was tried before a jury il
Judge McHatton's court and Ida Tough
II TO the best of her ability. but did no
ask for any relief on a counter suit
The result was again unfortunate. 70
the jury decided in favor of Mrs. Far
raday and the marital bonds were still
undisturbed and in time the coupl
were again living together. and nov
the trouble has broken out I'm a new
spot and Adam will try his luck witt
another jury. More than half the law
yers in town have had something to d.
4 with the case OF the Farradays, blu
this time Adam had TO 60 to Anacondi
for an attorney, and has retained ]. c
English OF that city. When the famii,
troubles first broke out Adam was con
sidered to be worth about $4,000 O
$4,000. but he is worth a great dea
less now. A number OF lawyers, how
ever. are better fixed" than they use,
to be.
