HE CHARGES HER WITH DESERTION .And Also Intimates That Ilis Money led Her to rursue Him. "BIS SIDE OF THE UXFT.EiSAM STORT rprEaAL tfleqkam to tiik dispatch. Pueblo, Col., May 10. 0sriaL Ed ward C. W. Kieier, through his attorneys to-day filed in the District Court his answer to the complaint of Mrs. Maggie Kennedy Kiefer lor a divorce. In this paper he ad mits the marriage. Kiefer denies that his wife was a true and obedient helpmate and tays that in November, 1887, she wilfully deserted him, refusing all his pleadings afterward to re-enter the marital state, though he urged her so to do several times. She positively refused to come back to him, 60 he applied for a Nebraska divorce, giving her due notice of action, as provided by law. Atterward he married again, and his first wife, hearing of this, sought to make him trouble and bniie disgrace on him in his new lite, and believing that he had mar ried a wife with plenty of money she now seeks to extort some of his wealth in this wav. lie denies being worth SS.000, and savs his total wealth will not exceed J500. He denie beinsr a member of the Glade, Kiefer Drvgood Company, or being manager on a liberal alary. He say he is acting for his present wife, and as her agent draws no sal ary whatever. He prays that the suit may be dismissed since the bringing ot this action. l'ueblo has been stirred up to a great degree and society is organizing into two factions. Kiefer has left the church choir, and last Sunday his voice was heard in another sanctuary. His father-in-law has oome to Pueblo and is taking an active interest in the business. The local papers are full of advertise ments of the firm. The "ad" this morning stated that "when a man violates a civil or criminal law the courts are the medium to mete out punishment. To attempt to injure a person by slandering and lying about him is the most cowardly trick a hnmau being can report to. " The other day in a corner of a half page "'ad" is printed, "What we will accomplish in six months. "We will expose the deepest, vilest conspiracy and attempted blackmail that was ever at tempted in this city." Kieler has determined to give fight to all who attempt to injure his honor, character and local reputation, and his wealthy wife says she will stay by him to the last- THE DEFENDANT'S STORY. Be Says Overtures to Ills Allegheny City Wlla Were Rejected Nothing Kept Back Frcm Ills Sew Friends Father- In-Law Glade lias Implicit rallh In Ills Son-In-Luiw. There is, of course, alwavs two sides to every story. The following is the other side of one recently given to readers of The Dispatch. In justice to a man who Is trying to live honorably we ask The Dispatch to give tpace to an article which necessarily must be brief at this time. It is well known to all the acquaintances of both pvrtles In Alle gheny that Maggie Kiefer refused to become reconciled or resume her marital lelations n ItU E. C W. Kiefer. Faillns to make re conciliation, Mr. Kiefer endeavored to es tablish lilmselt at vaiious places In tho "West, and finally located at Grand Island, yeb., in the spring or 1EW. During all this time ho was in constant coriespondence with friends and iel.itives in AtleshenvCity, and wrote many letters to Maggie A. Kiefer, "lideavorinj; to persuade liei to reuuio her marital relation-, to which she paid no at tention. On the contrary, she lepeatedly declared to people in Allegheny that she Vou!d ncv ei In e with him U'-'iUa. Despairing of them ever becoming recon ciled azuin. In June, 1891, Kiefer instituted YiroccodinR tordivoice in the "Hate of Ne braska, and on the 1st of September of the Fame year the decree was granted. Some months afterward Mr. Kiefer was mairied to tlie daughter of Henry Glade, of Grand I-l.ind, Neb., and is now established in busi ness in l'ueblo. Exaggerated accounts of liis prosperity reached his old home, and his former wife hastened to Pueblo cxpectinir to reanaiich harvest. Ktefer relused to Jiay tiibute, wheieupon she instituted suit. In the first article published in Pittsbnrg Ii om Pueblo E. C W. Kiefer was represented asainun wlio had been found after being Bought for five ears. In the second article, iiamelv the one published Hay 4, he is rep resented as having corresponded with M. A. Kiefer constantly from different points In the West. One of the statements is neces Baiily false, lie Is represented as having w ntten a letter begjing her to stay away iiom Pueblo and not to make trouble. The Glailc-Kiefer Drvgoods Companv, with a c ipital of over $100,000 and credit for double that sum, will paj unconditionally J5,l00,not for the surrender, but only icr the production of such a letter. The truth of the matter is that silence and peace were promised to Kiefer upon the payment of a sum of money, which he refused "to do, hav inir acted the part of a man in telling his w ife and father-m-law all of his past life oe Jore his marriage. His reply to the demand lor money was "Let the courts settle that." Mr. Henry Glade, senior member of the Glade-Kieler Company, In conversation with a reporter of the Pueblo Chieftain, said: "That Kiefer is honest, honorable and up :ight, I have the best reasons for knowing, lierorc going into business I trusted him with $30, 000 at one time and would make it SlOO.ouo now. If he needed it or w anted it." The whole sensational story of Kiefer's past w as offered to Pueblo papers, who re fused to publish it, whereupon it was stated that it would be published in other papers and used against Kiefer. The matter is timply this: The newspaper correspondent who telegraphed the item to different pa pers received his information from the law jcrswho die opposing Kiefer, and are try ing his past, not Ins present life. The state ment that Kiefer skipped his bail is false in cverv particular, the case against him being dismissed by the Allegheny county courts, as the records will show. In regai d to Kiefer having becomo un populai here, the opposite Is true, as his bu-ir.css books show an increase ot about 10 per cent since this trouble begun. He ery innnlnl'n resign'd his position in the church choir upon the lirst story being telegraphed around tho country, leanng to compromise the chuich. His resignation was not ac cepted. Jlr. Kiefer, accompanied by his at torney, will shortly visit Pittsburg to attend to that end of the case. He asks no greater boon than to have the case tried in court. G. G.

The inducement to put adul terated preparations on the market lies in the fact that a large part of the purchas ing public is always ready to accept the cheapest that can be had, without thinking that the quality of the article must be cheapened in pro portion to the reduction in the price demanded.
