HE ACCUSES HIS WIFE

Augustin Dugay filed his answer yes
terday to his wife's suit for divorce
and in it makes some very sensational
allegations against the plaintiff, maxi
ing himself out a badly abused man.
The defendant admits the marriage,
but denies that for more than a year
he has been guilty of habitual intem-
perance to such degree as to disqual-
ify him from attending to business, and
says that he has always attended to
business and supported his family
comforta bly,. He denies having treat
ed the plaintiff cruelty or having pub
lshed false charges concerning her
chastity. He denies celebrating the
Fourth of July. 1898, by beating his
wife; denies that he attacked her with
knife and turned her out of doors
on March 80, 1899, and denies having
again assaulted her on the Sth and 10th
of the present month Dugay admits
there are five minor children, the prod
uct of the union; admits he is able
bodied and that when he works at his
trade of carpenter that he is capable
of earning $3.50 a day, but denies that
he has earned that amount for some
months, as he has been working as
cook. Finally he denies that he is the
owner OF lot as alleged.
Dugay then counters on his wife's
complaint by alleging that on July
1b, 1898, Mrs. Dugay committed adul-
terry with r. E. Dennie, colored, and
repeatedly thereafter; that she repeat
eddy admitted to him having had i'm
proper relations with Dennie. Further,
he alleges that on Sept. 8, 1899, the
plaintiff left him and on the 21st re-
turned, and locking herself in the
house, refused to admit him when he
came home. and that she threw his
clothes out to him and told him to
clear out, compelling him to seek shell
ter with the neighbors. Further, he
says, she circulated false reports about
him running his credit and making it
impossible for him to get work. He
asserts the belief that Mrs. Dugay is
an unfit person to have the custody of
the children and asks that they be
awarded to him and that he be grant
ed the decree instead of the plaintiff.

for divorce yesterday against Clarence

Wash, on the 2Sth day of October,
1896; that the defendant deserted her
about Aug. /, 1898, wilfully and with
out cause, and has since lived sepa-
rate and apart from her against her
will and consent The plaintiff alleges
as a second cause of action that the de-
PENDANT for more than year has fail
ed to provide the plaintiff with the
accessories of life, owing to profigacy
and dissipation. The plaintiff asks for
a decree and the restoration of her
maiden name, which was Leonora
