Nina ]. Flint's suit for divorce Elch
and all of Nina's allegations are de-
MED. But the nbellee doesn't rest
in his denials. He sets up cross Tibet
and alleges as follows:
THAT libellant and libellee inter-
married in Honolulu, Island OF Oaha,
Hawaiian Islands, on the 4th day o.
January, 1899, and ever since nave been

a hall months.

the further sum of two hundred ana
eight dollars (s2OS); that shortly after

lee learned that libellant had incurred
a large number of debts during the alb
sence of libellee as aforesaid, among
which said debts was included a claim
for libellant's lodging; that hbellant
is informed and believes ana upon
) such information and belief alleges the
fact to be that libellant squandered ana
misspent thirty dollars ($3O) month,
; and also said two hundred and elght
. dollars ($2Os) in riotous living, and
. did not attempt to and has not used
said money to pay said Indebtedness;
. that iibellee is informed and believes
. and upon such information and belIel
alleges the fact to be that during the
absence of libellee from said Honour!
! as aforesaid and since his said return &c
Honolulu. libellant has associated with
nersons of unsavory reputation and has
! not conducted herself in such manner
as q good and dutiful wife should do.
THAT libellant stays out every nlsn
until very late, and drinks to excess
! and entirely neglects the duties OF
: true and dutiful wife.
THAT libellant on many, various ant
divers occasions, too numerous to men

him names unfit for publication; tina
libellant has falsely and maliclousl
accused libellee of being seen IN com
pany with different women of question

Honolulu; that on or about the = da
OF June. 1900, libellant in writing stat
ed to libellee, You go your way an
I'll go mine. You will be better O
without my company.
"That each and all of said charge
n and accusations and acts of extrem

this Ebe,lee to suffer extreme menti
+" anguish and grevious mental suffering

that hbellee has at all times SIM
their said marriage behaved and col
Quoted himself toward libellant as
good. true and faithful husband.
Wherefore, libellee prays that Il

mony heretofore and now existing b
tween the libellant and liibellee M;
be dissolved according to the prayer

and further order as may be just al
proper in the premises.
