irons of the French cafe at the Palace
Hotel, where for two years past he assisted
Victor Ryder in the Management OF the
cafe. Ida Anderson, the woman with
whom he has departed, is also well known
in certain circles.
The story of Bigereau's escapade is that
of heartless man, who, with the kisses of
a loving wife yet warm upon his lips, de-
liberately fed with another woman to Salt
Lake City.
Mrs Bigereau is refined lady who
speaks several languages, while Ida Ander-
son, with whom Bigereau became infatu-
ated, is person with few attributes that
would entitle her to the regard of most
men.
Bigereau and his wife were married in
New York thirteen years ago, and in 1889
they removed to Cheyenne, Wyoming,
where he obtained employment with the
Cheyenne-LaramieC Club, an organization
composed of wealthy American and Eng
lish cattle-growers.
All went well in the Bigereau household
for some time, but one day Ida Anderson
drifted across the path of the young
couple. 1t was not long before she had
captured the impressionable heart of Bige-
reau. Mrs. Bigereau, blinded by her love
for her husband, did not suspect anything
wrong.
In the latter part of 1892 Miss Anderson
disappeared suddenly from Cheyenne, and
soon thereafter Bigereau told his wife that
he was going to San Francisco. She pro-
tested in vain, and in 1893 they came to
this city. Subsequent events proved that
Miss Anderson had come to San Francisco
at Bigereau's request, he promising to re-
join her without unnecessary delay.
From that date Bigereau lived dual
life. Taking his wife to 243 Clara street,
he went by his real name, but at 101
Minna street Ida Anderson was ensconced
in snug and tidy rooms awaiting the day,
as she told her friends, when she should
marry Alexander Bowman, which name
Bigereau assumed among the Minna-street
acquaintance. When with this woman
he represented that he was employed at
the Maison Dore, but at his own home he
let it be known that he was working in the
French cafe at the Palace Hotel.
Most of Bigereau's time, when off duty,
was spent at the Minna-street lodging, and
when his wife complained at his repeated
absence, he stated that his duties prevented
him from spending much time at the fam
lily fireside. One night, two months ago,
he returned Unexpectedly to the Minna-
street place and found another man talking
to Miss Anderson. In the scene that fol-
lowed there were high words, and it was
thought some one would be hurt, but the
trouble blew over.
Bigereau lost his place at the hotel and
January went to Los Angeles to secure
work, but failed.
A week ago last Tuesday Bigereau sent
kilograms, one to his wife, the other to Miss
Anderson, telling them that he would dine
with them at 6 o'clock on the evening of
that day. Mrs. Bigereau met her husband
at Oakland, and when he saw her he looked
disappointed and said:
'Oh, it's you, is it2 thought Ida would
come"
Then the truth began to dawn upon Mrs.
Bigereaus mind. She recalled that name
Ida, and in an instant the unhappy wife
comprehended why she saw SO little of her
husband.
az made inquiries explained Mrs.
Bigereau yesterday, land found that Ida
Anderson often visited my husband at the
hotel. On Sunday he kissed me, saying he
would soon return, and that is the last
saw of him. / received few lines soon
after his departure saying that he was done
with me and that should never see him
again. have been true wife to him and
l believe this affair will be the death of
me'
Miss Anderson left 101 Minna street on
Saturday, saying she was going to Salt
Lake City to be married. Her trunks were
checked to that point, and on Sunday
couple answering to the description of
Bigereau and Miss Anderson, carrying
valises, were seen at the ferry at the time
of the departure of the overland train.
Mrs. Bigereau states that her husband
has $500 on deposit in bank at Salt Lake
City, and that he has some property in
that city. She is convinced that he in
tends to sell the property, draw the money
out of bank, and go to Paris, where his
relatives reside.
