MARRIED FOURTH TIME.

Queer Angle to Otto Herbig's Matrimonial Affairs - Two Wives were Former Wives of Same Man.

Freeport - Otto Herbig has again entered the ranks of married men, this being his fourth venture into the paths of matrimonial bliss. His last marriage was on Tuesday, his bride being Mrs. Kate Nischwander, and they went over to Rockford to have the knot tied. Otto's first wife was an Oswald, and his second wife was a Beverly girl, who died. He married a third time, this wife also dying, having inhaled the fumes in the ammonia explosion at the B. & O. brewery several years ago. His fourth wife is also a daughter of Lafe Beverly. Herbig's second wife was at one time the wife of Fred Nischwander and after her death Nischwander married another of the Beverly girls, Kate, and now Herbig has married her, at different times, of course, making him the husband of two women who were formerly the wives of Nischwander. It is a queer tangle. Nischwander died at the county farm about two months ago.
