DENIES THE ALLEGATIONS

In the divorce suit Of John R.. Bordeaux
VS.. Ella F. Bordeaux, the plaintiff filed a
reply to the answer and crossbill to-
day.
In the first complaint filed by Mr.. Bor-
deauX a decree Of legal separation was
asked for on the simple ground of de-
%sertion, the plaintiff not caring to give
the matter any more publicity than he
could possibly help, but after the an
swer and crossbill made its appearance
in court he took the defensive side and
secured the permission of Judge Clancy
to file an amended complaint, which con-
tanned an additional accusation to that
of desertion-it was adultery with vari-
Gus persons. The answer and croSSDlli
contained allegations of cruelty and the
information that Mr.. Bordeaux was pos
sessed of a vast amount of money, prop
erty and collateral of various kinds. TIL
defendant asked for a share of The prop
erty and money and an attorneys fee Of
S., 600.
Mr.. Bordeaux says that in order to
save himself he was forced to prepare and
file the amended complaint.
In his reply today he denies that he
deserted her, but AYERS that she deserted
him; denies that he ever abused or in
Inundated her or disturbed her peace of
mlnd to such an extent that she became
nervous and unable to sleep, but, on the
other hand, he alleges that she slept until
from 10 to II o'clock every morning, and
was in perfect health. He also denies
that he declared he would not allow her
to return home or that he would never
again live with her; denies that in the
month of January, 1898, or at any other
time, he used ungentlemanly language
towards her or in her presence: denies
tho + oftn,. Sho loft him, ho 1icp, n " t1aI thn
residence SO she could not use it, but al
leges the fact to be that after her depart
ure he placed the furniture in the possess
sion of George w. Farlin, her uncle, with
the understanding that if she wanted
said furniture it should be turned over to
her as her own, apd if she did not want it
Farlin might keep 1t; denies that she was
obliged to reside with her parents, but
AYERS the fact to be that during each
month since she left him he has given her
SIS per month, which has been sufficient
to provide her with all the necessaries
and comforts Of life. He also denies that
she has been greatly humiliated or has
been deprived of the association of her
former friends to her great and lasting
injury, but he AYERS the fact to be that
she maintained her position in society
until she, by her own acts and conduct,
forfeited the honor and respect of her
friends and alienated her former friends
and acquaintance.
Mr.. Bordeaux also denies that he is the
owner of all the property alleged by the
defendant in her crossbill; denies that it
is valued at $4,000, as alleged, or more
than $4,000. Mr.. Bordeaux places the
value of the mining property at 81, 900.

the Boston & Montana company's prop
