CAN NOT SELL NOR
TRADE YOUR WIFE
FOR REAL ESTATE

CLEVELAND, WASH, Aug 3.-A
man can not sell his wife or even trade
her. This dictum was established by
the courts here which set aside a deal
whereby James NJ. Davis disposed of
his wife, Ida for two lots in Tacoma.
Going a step further the court de-
cided that a man who regarded his
wife as a chattel wasn't entitled to
have one, so Mrs. Davis was granted a
divorce.
In her bill she alleged she had suffer-
ed great mental anguish because her
husband had traded her to Doc" Far
row and the whole town knew about it.
Mrs. Davis said she didn't think much
of Farrow. She blocked the DEAL even
though her husband had received a deed
for the lots. having agreed to part with
his wife in lieu Of cash.
