zEAvE DENIES
WIFE'S LIBEL
Went to the Coast to Look
for Work With Her
Consent.

| Nathan Zeave, answering the libel in
divorce of his wife Fannie, denies the
allegation that he deserted her. He
saws that in February, 1904, with her
consent, he went to san Francisco to-
look for employment at his trade of
| carpenter a depression in business
here had thrown him out of work.
1t is denied that he, being of suffi-
cient ability, had refused TO support
her in the mode of living to which she
was accustomed. Since the month of
December, 1902, she had been employed
at a salary of $3.50 a month, the Ibelee
saving she accepted such employment
and continued therein of her own free
will and accord. 1t is stated that, as
a result of their joint efforts and la
bors. a considerable amount of property
has been accumulated, which is COM
munity property. This consists of real
and personal property, standing on the
records and deposited in bank in the
name of Fannie Zeave. She, it is al
legged. has not accounted for said COM
munity property, nor for its manage
ment or disposition, it being in her ex-
elusive possession, management and
control.
He prays that libelant take nothing
by her libel but that she be command
ed to account for the community prop
erty. J. ]. Dunno, with a Coast at
torney, represents the libelee. Thomp-
son & Clemens are attorneys for the
libelant.

The unfortunate young fellow

he disappeared from his home with
out explanation when about to be
married. on account Of his condition.
He had spoken Of his ambition to

returning to his home, pride forbid
ding him to 60 back like prodigal
in destitution. Only recently he had
accumulated the necessary "stake'
and with returning strength was
buoyant in the prospect of surpris-
inc the folks at home with his pres
ence in a short time. But; suddenly
ne grew worse, and he lost his money
in keeping body and soul together
while he was unable to work. and
finally died in want and suffering.
To Within a few minutes of his
last breath he steadily refused to give
the address Of relatives. sbut finally,
as the last CLINT of the life light was
about to go he uttered something
about "95 State street, in answer to
a question as to where MS people
lived. but whether he was "wander-
ing in his mind.' or parents, or re-
latives do live at some 95 State street,
may never be known. Nlnety-fve
