WILD WILD WORDEN WEDNESDAY



Hank Worden played six roles on 'The Lone Ranger' over four years; two of them being stage coach drivers:


"Stage To Tishomingo" (1954) - Ike Beatty


"The Bait: Gold!" (1955) - Jud

In order to simplify matters and to cut down on the surplus populace of wild west Wordens, I'm going to claim that Ike and Jud are the same character.  Some of Mr. Beatty's associates knew him as "Ike", and others as "Jud".

Ike is a diminutive for "Isaac".  Jud could be a variant of "Jordan", "Jude", or "Judah".  Since having "J." as a middle initial is a Toobworld staple, I think his full name could have been:

ISAAC JUDAH BEATTY

Happy Trails!
