If Saunterines Hf Reno's divorce colony is stricken with dismay, H Di. Padar Sather Bruguie'rekof San Francisco, but E whose matrimonial experiences haVe included the ml Gity on the Bay, Reno, New York and Salt Lake, f has two wives and Mrs. Maryan Bruguiere isn't H;. Mrs. Maryan Denning and never was and won't Hj ue permitted to be any other Mrs. than Mrs. Baryan Bruguiere until the versatile doctor sue 1 ceeds in connecting with a more effective divorce H ftom her than that secured in Reno, Nevada, in 1 For it seems that in the divorce proceedings HI of that year the little matter of service of notice f of the suit on Mrs. Bruguiere was overlooked H The complications that have ensued give rise to w, ttot a few doubts regarding the validity of Nevada C dhorces secured under any other than the most HL favorable combination of circumstances possible, H. while the news that the Mis. Bruguiere is still the f wife of the San Francisco physician will probably H piove a bit of a surprise to the many Salt Lakers H who met the vivacious lady during her visit here H lour years ago with her sister, Mrs. Easton, wife H of Lieutenant Easton, who at the time was sta- Hj tioned at Fort Douglas. H Mrs. Bruguiere heiself dug up the skeletbn of H the 1905 divorce and made it the grounds Hi for a divorce action against Stewart Denning, H of New York, a stock broker whom Mrs. Bruguiere HI married in Atlantic City in July, 1907. H! Mrs. Denning sought the annullment of her H marriage on the ground that the divorce granted He to Dr. Bruguiere was invalid and therefore she Hi was unable legally to wed at the time of her H' marriage to Denning. Tlnough the statements of Hi Mrs. Denning to friends it became known '.this Hit week that the referee has decided in her favor. H f The decision awaits the confirmation of tin H court, which usually gives judgment in such cases H t as recommended by the referee. Mrs. Denning, un- H der this 'decision, becomes again the wife of Dr. Bruguiere, so far as his and her legal status in H New York state are concerned. H Mrs. Bruguiere was Maryan Andrews before H her marriage. Dr. Bruguiere's first wife, Miss H Nannie McKisick of San Francisco, secured a di- H vorce from him prior to 1905 and went on the H j stage. His marriage to Miss Andrews followed H ', and, as stated, the supposed divorce from her was I obtained in Nevada in 1905. On August 20, 190G, I p. he married Miss Nana Price King, daughter of I Mis. W. S. Townsend, wife of the San Francisco I , candy manufacturer, at Reno. I 1 The doctor came before the public gaze again I ; on September 11, 1907, when he knocked down a I man on Van Ness avenue, San Francisco. Brugu- I , iere was walking with his wife and her sister, I ' and a well-dressed stranger whispered something I in his ear which Bruguiere said was an insult. I . As he and the stranger clinched Mrs. Bruguiere I : screamed for help and tore handsful of hair from I ' the stranger's head. I Bruguiere was sued last October by S. and G. It Gump for ?207, alleged to be due for bric-a-brac II sold to his second wife, Maryan, a year after her li desertion of him, and this fact won the case for II the defendant. HI The proceedings brought by Mrs. Denning to IE annul her marriage were begun last November. II According to the decision she is still Dr. Brugu- Ie iere's wife, and, according to the laws of Nevada, If Miss King, whom he married in Reno, is his law- II ful wife.
