HUSBAND  STAYED  AWAY  AT  NIGHT
----------

          Mrs. Marie Boger, of Shelby township, has filed a complaint against  Paul F. Boger, in the Shelby circuit court for a divorce and the custody of their small child.  Mr. and Mrs. Boger have been separated since March 31, 1923.  They were married July 27, 1921.
          The plaintiff is represented by  William A. Yarling  attorney.  She charges that Mr. Boger remained away from home until three or four o’clock in the morning spending the time in gambling.  He refused to provide clothing for their baby, failed to pay the household rent or buy groceries and only bought Mrs. Boger one hat and some shoes during their marriage, she says.  Mrs. Boger also alleges that her husband mortgaged the household goods and that property was taken from the home when he failed to make the payments on the loans.
          Mrs. Boger states she was compelled to go to the home of her parents because of the defendant’s mistreatment.  The Boger's live on Elm street in this city.
