Mr. Tracy is an expert in his line, nd his friends In Hamond are very much pleased to learn of his promo tion.

MAN ACCUSES COMMON LAW HUSBAND Mary Joseph complained to the local authorities yesterday afternoon that her common-law husband, Joe Joseph had skipped the country and had taken $100 in money and a considerable amount of valuable lace.

The trouble was again patched up. but she still wanted him to live with her. The couple tried to be married, but she con? fessed that she had a husband livinte in Europe, and the wedding would not be legal. About seven years afro it has been learned that Joe Joseph wrote her to come to America, which she did, leaving a good home and husband. Since that time the couple liave lived together in a cottage on Pibley street. Her common-law husband is known to have cruelly mistreated her, and for the past two months has been supported by her. During the day she sold lace from house to house for a Chicago firm and in thin way made a living for the two. ' "" " v Last Tuesday he left the home, taking with him $100 she had saved and a quantity of this lace. It was learned that he left with another man, and that they bought tickets for Cincinnati.
