An original proceeding in the nature of prohibition.
Petitioner is defendant in a suit for divorce instituted in the county court of Routt County. Respondents are that court and Honorable John W. Cole, the judge thereof. The complaint was filed October 26, 1942, and service of summons, as stated by her, 'was made upon the petitioner at her residence, to wit: 3327 Franklin Street, in the City and County of Denver, * * *, on the 29th day of October, 1942.' Petitioner filed a motion, supported by her affidavit to the effect already recited, for a change of venue to the county court of the City and County of Denver. Plaintiff, as petitioner further alleged, filed an 'affidavit resisting petitioner's motion.' Hearing on the motion was had January 26, 1943, and denied. Showing to the purport of the foregoing having been made to us, order to show cause was duly issued.
Answering, respondents denied that petitioner was a resident of Denver, and in support of their answer set forth the affidavit of plaintiff in suit in opposition to the motion for change of venue. Respondents further alleged that hearing was had on the motion for change of venue, at which the affidavits of both of the parties already mentioned, as well as 'testimony and documentary evidence * * * introduced,' were considered, and, based thereon, the motion for change of venue was denied. Plaintiff's affidavit, which, so far as appears, was not controverted, reads as follows:
