that it contains no narcotics Of any

BELFORD WILL FIGHT.
FORMER Publisher Resists His Wife's
Application for Divorce.

Chicago. Oct. Alexander BelfoId,
former Chicago publisher. now resi-
dent of Los Angeles, filed an answer
in the superior court today denying
the allegations of his wife, Helen Nc
Nally Bedford, who is seeking a di-
vorce. Mrs. Bedford is a daughter of
the late Andrew McNally of Chicago.
In his answer. which was sent direct
from California, Bedford announces his
intention of fighting the divorce suit
and asks that he be allowed time in
which to prepare for the case. Bel
ford alleges that TAT the present he is
physically unable to come to Chicago
and engage counsel. Belford, besides
denying charges of habitual drunken
ness made against him by his wife, at
tacks her right to begin proceedings
against him in Illinois courts.
In her bill Mrs. Belford says she and
her husband separated April 80. 1908,
Illinois since then. The BelfOrds were
married in Chicago, September II,
1888. At that time Belford was the
head of the publishing house of Bel
ford, Clarke & Co, This firm failed
and Bedford, with his wife and two
children, removed to Pasadena. Cal.
They then moved to Los Angeles.
Alexander Bedford probably will be
remembered by some of the old citi-
zens of Topeka. He and his brother
Robert were employed in the Kansas
Pacific Offices in North Topeka in the
early seventies. They leased a farm
on the Silver Lake road and laid out
mile race track and built a large
racing barn The panic of 1873 found
them short in their accounts with the
railroad and unable to borrow money
to square up, although their credit
was excellent. Both disappeared, one
going to Canada and one to New Or
leans, where he was captured and re-
turned to this city. He was convicted
of embezzIemento or something and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for one
year. He soon obtained a pardon, and
neither of the Belfords has been seen
in~Topeka since.
