caused Judge Sears to issue an order restraining him from molesting her in any 
manner.McNamee was arrested Thursday on a warrant issued in the Municipal 
Court for beating his wife and he has agreed to go to San Fransisco on the 
steamship Geo.W.Elder if the cae is dismissed and not molest her in future.
Mrs.Mcnamee in her compaint alleges that Mcnamee came to her rooms at 226 1/2 
Morrison street on Tuesday in a beastly state of intoxication and struck and 
beat her upon the face and body and pulled her hair.On Thursday last,because 
she refused to give him money to continue his spree,he assaulted her and 
proceeded to smash her furniture,and it became necessary to call the police 
and have him taken to the City Jail.She avers that for the past three years he 
has been addicted to the use of intoxicating liqours and has become an 
habitual drunkard and goes on sprees lasting three or four days and had 
frequently struck her with his clenched fists and threatened to take her 
life.It is said that McNamee has spent thousands of dollars for drink. The 
litigants were married in Ogden,Utah, in 1899.
