Bradley's Body is Buried Near
His Cabin.
DOCTOR RETURNS HOME
Small Purse Containing $tl Found
In the Cabin Also nil Unused
Check Hook On Califo-tiln
Depository
Wet to the skin and suffering from
cold and hunger. Dr. Stewart, of the
well known medical firm of Drs.
Seely. Sether & Stewart, accompan
ied hy Willie Smith, a well known
young man In this vicinity, arrived
home late Saturday evening from
Capps Iliahee, where the former was
called by a message conveying the In
formation that "Bill" Bradley, the
hermit of the Iliahee district, had
been seriously injured and was in
dire need cf medical assistance.
Upon arriving at Bradley's cabin
the lifeless remains of the unfortu
nate man were found lying upon a
poorly constructed bed, all evidence
tending to show that he had been
dead for at least three days. In fact,
mortification had set In and it was
almost Impossible to enter the ca
bin. Rather than remain in the vicin
ity of the dead man's home, ehslclan
and party spent Thursday night far
ther up the mountain, returning the
next morning for the purpose of in
terring the remains. The body waa
buried near tho cabin occupied by
Bradley luring the past R4 years..
An examination of the Injuries
showed conclusively that Bradley had
attempted to mount a fractious horse,
and in so doing had been thrown
and dragged through the thicket.
His right leg showed signs of abso
lute paralysis, while the body was a
mass of wounds. Slight bruises were
also evident upon the right knee and
forehead.
After Interring the remains the
physician found a Email purse con
taining al'Oiit $( in silver, an well as
a cheek book bearing the title of a
California depository. No checks had
been torn fiom the chock hook.
Dr. Stewart states that the trip was
a most difllcu it one Inasmuch as the
streams were very high, while the
trails were covered with sand and
debris, making traffic almost impos
sible. As near as can he ascertained
Bradley had about twenty horses on
ihe range at the time of his death.
One of thef-e, a sorrel mare, ami the
animal which was probably respon
sible for the accident, is mi-iiifj n is
the saddle- owned by Bradley.
Those who have resided near Brad
ley dining his 34 years residence In
the Illahee district maintain that he
he has several thousand dollars, most
of wheh thy assert Is deposited Jp
varous hanks.
The only food In the cabin upon
the phvsiclnns arrival was a sack of
flour and a small quan.ity of bacon.
William Tipton, an uncle of Hrad
?oya left this mornimr for Bradley's
place, expecting to bring nut the
horses. He will probably return as
soon as tho streams become normal.
At the time of Bradley's death no
one was with him. both Wrlcht boys
having left the cabin for assistance.
Aside from a father Bradley Is sur
vived by a brother. Dr. Bradley,' who
is at present In the east. He also has
several other relatives, most of whom
reside In this section of the state.
UST WORK FASTER.
Or Will Get Xn Mow Street Paving
Cotltl lK is.
Salem Statesman:. That the War
ren Construction Company will have
to he more energetic in Its paving
work In the Capital City Is evident
from an ultimatum sent to the corn
pan v by Moyor George F. Rodgers
Mayor Rodgers stated yesterday
that the street improving during the
past year had been held up on ac
count of no crushed rock being on
hand for the work. It Is understood
that now tho Warren people are not
doing any work on account of the
weather and the crusher is also Idle.
That the reck crusher at the quarry
should be working full time every
day grinding out foundations for pay
ments already contracted for and con
templated for next year Is tho conten
tion of the city's chief executive.
"Here after," he sayn, "all rock
must be be In readiness nnd the work
guaranteed to be completed within
the time specified in the contract or I
will not sign the contract."
From the stand taken by the
mayor. It will be seen that, the city
officials are determined that no more
dragging ont and delaying of work
by contractors will be tolerated and
streets once- torn up will be Improv
ed in the quickest possible time con
sistent with thoroughness of consti ac
tion. It has been suggested to the War
ren Construction Company that thy
oKrate ihffr rock crushers contin
uously during th winter months and
havo ready for the beginning of im
provement work next year sufficient
material that no deliy will bo exper
ienced from this rource. Not only
has the lack of rock held the work
bark but other contractors on macadam-work
have experienced dlfLciik;'
in securing enough for their con-1
traets. j
For various reasons unknown to
the public the Improvement work on
the extension of East -State street,
completion of Twelfth street, Ferry
street and the strip crossing the S.
P. tracts on Commercial street has
not been put through this year, al
though petitions for the work were
presented to the council months ago.
Just why this work has been held un
is a conundrum to the majority of
property owners ato-tg these thor
oughfares. It is hoped that the policy
of the Mayor .In refusing to sign ituy
more contracts without ft guarantee
of n speedy fulfillment of them will
eliminate the delay experienced this
year.
Contractors, who had started work
on streets and were unable to finish
before tho rains, have been ordered
to put the roads in a passable con
dition. In some cases this has been
done, but the fact Is evident, how
ever, that the city has not bt-en con
sidered by those depending upon It
for this work. Streets thick with mud
and pools of water have to be- waded
through where there should bo sub
stantial pavements.
NUDE BODY FOUND
IN AN OLD WELL
(Special to The Evening News.)
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2 9. A nude
body, presumably that of a female,
with the skull fractured and jaw
broken, was discovered at the bottom
of an old well on the Orinklaw ranch
at Cayote Pass, outside of the city
limits. It was brought to the surface
today. AM Indications point to a foul
murder. The-nude body had ,bter.
dumped Into the slush of the well
and a board jammed against it. This
kept the body from rising to the sur
face until the gas formation lilted it.
The body had evidently been In the
mire for three weeks, and was badly
decomposed. ;
At tho inquest, this afternoon and
after viewing the skull of the human
round in the well at Crinklnw ranch,
probably that of a male. It may be
tho coroner stated that the body was
'he body of William Darls, nn escap
ed patient from tho county hospital.
