FILES A DEMURRER,
Ex-senator Brown Resists Shit for
Separate Maintenance.

Ex-senator Arthur Brown has filed a
demurrer to the complaint fled against
him by his wife, Isabel Cameron Brown.
for separate maintenance. IL Is stated
In the demurrer that the complaint
does not state facts sufficient to con-
stltute a cause of action for separate
maintenance, nor for the possession of
the Brigham street residence, nor Is
there sufficient cause stated why de-
PENDANT should pay his wife $3.50 per
month or any sum whatsoever. The
complaint is also demurred to on the
ground that there Is a misjoinder OF
causes OF action, In that cause OF ac-
ton for separate maintenance Is al
legged, together with an attempt TO es-
tablish n lien upon the property men
toned for money advanced thereon.
''ch two causes Of action, II Is claimed
cannot be Joined.
A motion was also filed to strike
out that section OF the complaint
which refers to the senator's alleged
intimacy with Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley,
and also that section which contains his
statement to his wife, which Is as fol-
lows; II viii protect Mrs Bradley as
long as life lives In me. | will get a
divorce and marry her. | will do II.
say TO you, my bltterest enemy, |
Will force Mrs. Brown to get d.
roree within a week and II she does
not WILL" The grounds on which the
above sections are asked TO be stricken
out are because they are Irrelevant,
immateral, uncertain, ambiguous,
scandalous and impertinent.
A demand IL also made upon Mrs.
Brown TO furnish bill OF particulars
OF the items wherein she claims to have
expended $500 from her separate es-
tate uDon their South Temple street
residence. He demands that a full state
