John Ellis, through H. A. Firth, his
attorney, has fled a complaint in the
district court in which he demands
severance of the martial bonds exist

Emma Ellis.
He alleges that he and she inter-
married in this city December %,
1902. Wholly disregardant of her
promises and pledges when the i'm
portant event was contaminated, he
charges that August 4, 1903, she viii
fully and absolutely without cause de-
serted and abandoned him and ever
since has remained absent; all this
contrary to his wishes and desires.
In view of her unwifely conduct he
asks the court to free him from the
woman who is nov only a wife to
him in name.
