Dr.  Worden   Married   at Least
Five Times-Many Divorces-
Twice in Prison.
Dr. "Varnum H. "Worden who in two
weeks will be tried on the charge of
murdering Silas Burr has had a rather
checquered matrimonial career. He
draws a pension of $12 per month and
it is alleged that this lias greatly increased his charms in the eyes of designing women. The fact remains,
however, that he is the possessor of a
bunch of divorce documents the
history of several of which is buried
in the unknown past. He first gob
into trouble by marrying a woman before getting a divorce from another.
He claimed to have been informed by
his attorney that a divorce had been
secured but he had to go to Jackson
for five years where he was a good
prisoner.
Just when and where Worden acquired the marrying habit the Sentinel is unable to find but he was
sentenced from Sanilac county for bigamy and we learn from the Clinton
Eepublican that Clinton county records show that .at the age of forty-
one he married Ada J. Teller, age
sixteen, of Grant, Huron county,
"November 26th, 1892, but even then
he confessed to two previous 'marriages. The records likewise show
thab in 1898 he married Phoebe May
Pritchard of Lebanon, Clinton Co., a
girl of sixteen. It was only at the
last moment, however, that the
maiden was substituted. He had
been engaged to a buxom widow who
fell sick unto death, it was supposed.
The widow then proposed that he
marry her daughter, Phoebe, and the
ceremony was performed at the bedside of the dying mother, but by the
ai'd of the doctor's concoctions his
mother-in-law got better. -In the
delirium of sickness She Had mixed
her dates ahd Phoebe was fifteen instead of sixteen. Accordingly . a
family council decided that Phoebe
being under age her marriage tb
Worden was hull and ypid. The old
cotiple visited a justice of the Peace at
Brinton, Isabella county) and Worden
was married to his mother-in-law and
the fifteen year Old wife and daughter
cast adrift. But Phoebe May's uncle
same to the rescue,, had Worden prose*
cuted for perjury in obtaining the
marriage license at St. Johns and
Judge Dodds sent the doctor to Ionia
for ten years. At the trial at Mt.
Pleasant there were three of his wives
in the court room at the same time
while the girl wife, Phoebe, was in
the county jail for immorality but not
one of them could be induced to say
one word against Worden.
Gov. pingree commuted the sentence
to five years and Worden was paroled
before the end of his term and behaved
himself until the full time elapsed.
Then he went to Indiana and last
June over the line in West Verginia
at Huntington married a widow, Etta
May Brammer, his present wife, now
in the county jail with him charged
with murder. She has a family of
seven children in Indiana   ranging

buried in the remote past. But to

average daily attendance of about 185.
There is nO graduating class this year
owing to the addition of grades making the school.full twelve grades.,
The year's work ended last Friday at
which time the pupils of Miss "Nellie
Day in recognition of 'ten' years of
faithful work in the school presented
her with a very fine lamp. The following is the list of teachers for next
year:
Miss Coleman of Stanton—Kindergarten and first grade.
Miss Kilpatrick of Marion—second
and third grades..
Miss Minerva Gardiner—fourth and
fifth grades.

In his annual message Mayor Lacy
wisely recommended the repeal of the
unjust bicycle ordinance which has
had a place" on the ordinance book for
the past year or more, and asked for
.the enactment of a fair measure.
The old ordinance prohibited bicyclists from all walks. The proposed
ordinance would prohibit all riders
only from McEwan street, between
First and Sixth streets, with the restriction that cyclists dismount in
passing pedestrians.
People generally prefer to have bicycle riding on walks rather than on
terraces adjoining, and the enforcement of Mayor Lacy's proposed ordinance would protect the many line
terraces now in course of construction.
walks. The sooner the board take
action on. the recommendation, the
better it will be for both wheelman
and pedestrian. *
To Veterans and Relatives.
The Michigan Legislature has made
an appropriation to be expended in
the preparation and publication of
the military record of every man who
served in a Michigan regiment and
every man who was a resident of
Michigan when he enlisted and served
in some other state organization
during the civil war.
These publications will be in volumes by regiments, the names alphabetically arranged, and not less than
500 volumes will be published for each
regiment and distributed free under
the same rules that "Michigan in the

safeguard the pedestrian and make
wheeling feasible in Olare. When we
had a similar ordinance some time agp-
it was repealed, not because it was violated by the majority of wheelmen,
but because a few blooming maidens
or reckless boys intentionally violated
it. It is safe to say that nintyflve
percent, of Clare's wheelmen would^
voluntarily obey the ordinance xec-*
ommended by Mr. Lacy, and what
they want is that such an ordinance
be enforced.
If the board of aldermen will cqm-
ply with the Mayor's recommendation,
and then authorize. the marshal to
enforce the ordinance, even if it
takes a week's salary from some of tbe
bold violators to pay their fine, it will
bo only considered just.
Since the Mayor's recommendation,
the old ordinance has been considered
repealed,, and wheelmen have used the

will be spared to gather all the data

The name of every comrade belonging to the Post (correctly spelled and
plainly written) who served in a Michigan regiment in the civil war or who

Bromine in Central Michigan.
The "United States geological survey
for 1902 on salt arsenic and bromine
shows that Michigan is second among
the states, "New York being the first,
in producing salt and as to the production of bromine it states the following:
The production Of bromine during
1902 including the quantity of bromine
contained in potassium bromide,
amounted to 513,890 pounds, valued at
$154,672, in 1901, a decrease for the
year of 38,153 pounds in quantity and
of $26,100 in value. There was practically no change in the bromine industry in the United States during
1902. Nearly half of the output was
obtained from Michigan. So far as
known, the entire central basin of the
lower peninsula of Michigan contains
one vast brine deposit, which carries
a larger percentage of bromine than
any brine yet discovered. The deposit
extends from the* Indiana- boundry
line on the south to Grayling, Craw
ford county, on the north, and from
the Saginaw valley on the east to
Lake Michigan on the west.
It is therefore abundantly evident
that the country here lies well within
area from which it is a safe undertaking to tap the. vast deposits of
bromine producing brine. At Midland, St. Louis and Mt. Pleasant this
brine has been tapped at a depth of
from 1,200 to 1,410 feet and important
industries are resulting. Similar opportunities invite the investment of
capital in Clare.
