1Opinion of the Court
JACKSON, Justice.
This original proceeding involves an intolerable conflict of jurisdiction between the District Courts of Oklahoma and Muskogee Counties in separate maintenance and divorce actions. The problem arises because in actions in which venue is based upon the residence of plaintiff, the applicable venue statute, 12 O.S.1965 Supp., Sec. 138, requires only that the plaintiff in a separate maintenance action shall be a resident of the county at the time the action is filed, but requires that the plaintiff in a divorce action shall have been a resident of the county for thirty days.
