Tho AlUlett Ivrc,e Case. Our local readers will remember that Byron Millett, Esq., formerly of this city now of Denver, has been en gaged in a law snit against his wife for divorce. The result is told, thus, by the Tribune' Republican of the 28th ult. : The long-contested and much-talkcd-about Millett divorce case came to an end in the Superior Court yesterday by the jury bringing.in a verdict awarding a divorce to Mr. Millett and denying Mrs. Millett's claims. The jury was out about two hours, and the verdict was not at all unexpected. Mrs. Millett brought the suit for divorce, alleging all sorts of mis demeanors against her husband, the disgusting details of which have beon given to the public in one way or another. Mr. Millett denied these charges in toto, and filed a cross-bill in which he asked that tbo divorce be granted to him instead of to hia wife. One of the points in the cross-bill was that his wife was the mother of a girl child, born to her nearly ten years ago, and that she had rcpie sented to him (Millett) that this daughter was her younger sister. Of these facts, he claimed, he did not know until his wifo began proceed ings against him. The evidence went to disprove Mrs. Millett's charges, and to prove the allegations made by Mr. Millett, and the jury had no hesitancy in finding a verdict for him. A result of the trial will be to transfer certain property, heretofore held by Mrs. Millett, to the possession of Mr. Millett. When they wero married, Mr. Millett bought a nice little home, and furnished it. When Mrs. Millett applied for alimony, Judge Rogers gavo her possession of the property, which was then bringing in a rental of $40 per month, until such time as the case was finally determined. The property will now go to Mr. Millett. Tho annual meeting of the Platte County Bible Society was held at the Congregational church last Sunday evening. Rev. G. W. Wainright and Rev.
