A DIVORCE CASE MADE LIVELY.
Mrs. Nellie Miller Comes to eOOdIand to
Oppose Suit BrouEht By Her Husband.

/ Mrs Nellie Miller Comes to GOOdIand to
Oppose Suit brought By Her Husband.
Mrs. Nellie Miller. wife Of John A.
Miller, Rock Island brakeman, arrived
in GOOdland Sunday night to oppose the
divorce proceedings started by her hus-
band last December. The petition asks
for divorce upon the grounds of drunk
enness, and judging from the somewhat
Spectacular settings Of comedy which
occurred along the street Monday night,
there may be something in it. At least
the conduct Of the woman was rather
capricious and unusual for one who
might be adiudged to be in full posses
sion of her wits.
When Mrs. Miller was informed that
she was defendant in a divorce case
brought by her husband, she wrote q
letter to g. L. Calvert. attorney for the
plaintiff, from Jacksonville, Ill, in jan
uary In reference to the matter, saying
that she would fight the divorce and
asking him to have the case continued
until she could get here, as she was sick.
She also requested the assignment Of an /
attorney to defend her. On her way
west, Mrs. Miller stopped OF at Lebanon,
Smith Center and at Colby. and reached
GOOdland Sunday night. Monday night
the woman was somewhat disOrderIy on
the street and was taken IN charge by
Sheriff Bradley. She was temporarily
put in Jail, but was upon request Of the I
ladies Of the W. G. T. u, turned over to
them. She returned east Tuesday night. ]
The divorce case will be heard at the /

LONDON. Aug. 15.-LIugation is threat
cned between the present Earl of Darnley
ard the widow of the late Earl over
some pictures and other neirlooms said to
have been left to her by the late Earl
The present Earl brother of The late
Lord Darnloy. is perhaps better known
the ,cr!cketer and 1t Is he who has to
establish that most Of the beautiful art
treasures taken from Cobham Hall, nea
Crayeeend. In Kent, belong only to fam
lily heirs.
J The widow o, the late Earl, on her side.
declares that her husband gave these
choice pieces OF art to her personally
and on bis death. In spite of all opposi-
ton, she obtained possession Of ali that
she claimed to be hers. although many
were the reports of how the wonderful
Hall, the ornament of n magn!flcen, es-
tate, was being denuded Of treasures
worth untold gold.
Before her marriage the Countess was
Miss Jemtma Blackwood, relation OF
Lord Dunerin. When Countess Of Darn
ley she had one little daughter, who is
now four years old, and who is baroness
Clifton In her own rlght-the youngest
peeress In the Kingdom. Since that time
tain Arthur Leveson, OF His Majesty's
II ~ reported that II It cannot be
proved that the treasures are heirlooms,
an endeaVor Will be made to prove that
the late Earl was not responsible for tho
bestowal Of valuable works OF art al
ways considered as part and parcel of
the estate. so keen Is the determination
of the present Earl to recover possession
OF the articles.
