Al. EB. Dalby Files His Petition for Divorce From His Faithless Wife. Rather Brief but Very Con cise, Pointed and Interest ing Document. Albert R. Dalby has filed in the office of the circuit clerk, by his at torneys, Bothwell and Jaynes, his pe tition for a divorce from the bonds of matrimony now existing between him and his wife, Letha B. Dalby. The petition is a brief document,but sets out very concisely the material points, and prays for a divorce on the grounds of industry and desertion. After stating that he was married to the defendant on the 29th of March, 1881, and making the usual allegation that he has ever since that time de meaned himself as a faithful husband, the petitioner proceeds to re cite his grevances. He avers that the defendant, not regarding her duties as a wife, did, on the 14th day of January,1886,commit adultery with one Willard 8S. Burrows, at the room then occupied by the plaintiff and defendant as a place of abode. He complains further that Mrs. Dalby committed adultery at the place men tioned and other places, to him un known, at divers other times both before and since the 14th of January, 1886, and that all said acts of adultery were committed without his consent, connivance, procurement or prevous knowledge. He declares that he has not lived or cohabited with his wife since he became cognizant of the commission by her of the several acts of adultery complained of. Finally the petition alleges that the faithless wife has abandoned her home and departed from this state and is at the present time a non-resident of Missouri. In view of the foregoing alleged facts, the plaintiff, Albert R. Dalby, asks that the bonds of matrimony now existing between himself and the de fendant, Letha B. Dalby, be dissolved and that he may have such other and further relief as the court may deem meet and proper. Mrs. Dalby now being a non-resi dent of this state, an order of publica tion was made.
