. PORTLAND MAN MAN SELLS
HIS WIFE TO NEIGHBOR
After Giving Purchaser BlIl Of Sale,
Brings Suit Against Him for
Alternating His Wlfe's A.
fectloHB.


Portland. Ore Braganza, q
German. after having sold his wife to
his neighbor, II Ruddat, for $3.50. has
brought up the most perplexing legal
problem in many years by bringing
action against his wifes purchaser for
alternating her affections. Ruddat
made good his claim that he had pur-
chased Mrs Braganza by presenting a
bill Of sale, bearing the signature not
only Of his complaining neighbor, but
OF the woman.
This unusual document Is to be pre-
sented In the circuit court as Ruddat's
defense Of the charge Of alternating the
womans affections IL Is now IN the
possession OF Attorneys John r. Logan
and John n Stevenson. The point
they raise is as to how Braganza can
be damaged, as he contends in hts
complaint when he sold, bartered and
exchanged his wife for the sum Of
$3.50 Here Is a copy Of the bill Of
sale:
Portland Oregon, March 4, 1909. |
my wife have sold to H. Ruddat for
$3.50. (Signed) John Braganza, EN-

lit is now apparent that the exports
from the United States in the fiscal

The total value of the domestic
merchandise exported in 1908 was

The Increased cost OF living In India
generally, and in Calcutta particularly,
writes our correspondent, is severely
felt not only by Europeans but also by
Indians House rent in recent years
has trebled and even quadrupled.
Ten years ago family Of half a
dozen persons could live in fair com
fort for R200 year, excluding extras.
With nothing less than $500 can one
live in the same way now. This is
recognized by the government, and
the salaries of subordinate officials
have been revised.
Domestic servants wages have In
creased enormously. A good cook
cannot be had for less than R40 a
year, whereas half that sum was con-
sidered sufficient ten years ago.--Lon
