PORTLAND, July If. I worked

then I quit him about two weeks

working for him the girls were af
ter me to help them get away. At

when I saw the cruel and mean
treatment their dad gave them I
agreed to help them run away from
him . Besides, they told me that if
I didut help them get away they
would go away by themselves and
I didn't want .them to go away on
foot.
After I quit Bradsbaw I kept In
touch with the girls and the day
before wo left I drove out to their

(By THOMAS R. CURRAN)
(Special Staff Correspondent of The Klamath News) -
PORTLAND, Ore., July 16. (United News) The Brad
haw girls, Junie, 14, and Esther, 12, are safe. ;
The two girls, who have been missing from the ranch of
their father, A. W. Bradshaw, in the Tule lake district, were
found by Sheriff Sharp of Modoc county and Constable Carry
Coiad, of Klamath Falls, in a cheap, but respectable Japan
ese rooming house on the FuriUsd -west side, late Thursday
afternoon. The officers were led to the rooming house by
Warnie Rhodes, a former employe on the Bradshaw ranch,
who confessed to Sharp and Cozad in Klamath Falls late Wed
nesday night that he had brought the girls to Portland. At
the time of the officers' arrival at the two-room apartment,
pointed out by Rhodes, the girls were not at home, and the
officers sat down to wait.
GIRLS ARE SURPRISED
Sheriff Sharp and Constable Cozad went out to recotv
notire. During their absence, Esther came into the room.
"Hello, Warnie," she said cordially to Rhodes. "Then
turning to the Klamath News reporter, she asked: "Who
this party?' . . . ..
Sheriff Sharp came back at this juncture.
"Whose he?" demanded Esteher.
"Oh, he's Mr. Sharp from Modoc," Rhodes replied.
"I've come to take you back with me," the California
sheriff said to her gently. -
"All right," Esther said. "But I'm not going to stay with
my dad. If you send me back to him I'll vamoose right over
again." . .
Esther then described to the sheriff dealings which ah
declared over and over again had been given to both her and
Junie by their father.
She told-the sheriff that her father on one occasicm had
knocked Junie down with a stick, rendering her unconscious.
According to Esther's story, as her sister lay prone upon the
ground her father repeatedly struck her over the head. .
"I love my mother, but I'll not have anything more to do
with my dad," Esther declared. She then told of the hop
of Junie and herself that they might be able to earn enough
money in Portland to send for their mother and have her live
with them.

her age as seventeen Junie, who
gave her age In Portland as 19, had
worked In an ice plant, checking Ice
deliveries.
Officers' Good Work
The solving of the "Bradshaw
mystery Is due entirely to the work
of Constable Coiad, Sheriff Sharp
and County Traffic Officer Foster.
It was Constable Coiad who gain
ed the admission from Rhodes that
he had brought the girls to Port
lsnd after Rhodes had denied all
knowledge of their whereabouts tor
nearly 48 hours. Sheriff Sharp de
serves a great measure of credit for
his determined decision to solve the
mystery ot the girls' disappearance
at any cost. The sheriff worked
day and night, patiently exhausting
each clue in turn before he turned
to another. -
Although Sharp and Coiad had
driven about alnce early Wednesday
morning In search of leads, when
Rhodes admitted late
Wednesday
evening he had taken the girl, to
Portland, the two officer, were ready
lo leave within fifteen minutes time.

girls tonight will be taken care ot

. The girl, did not visit their
married slslter in Portland, but
planned to do so today or tomorrow.
They then expected to change their
namea again and move to another
place.
Both girls declared they thorough
ly enjoyed the bustle and gaiety
of the Oregon metropolis and relish
ed city life as a change from the
bleak existence ot herding sheep
In the Tule lake country.
Worried About Mama. -Esther
declared she was worried
about her mother and had plan
ned to write Mrs. Bradshaw today
telling her both she and Junie were
all right and happy. Both girls
admitted they "got quite a kick"
from reading about themselves in
the Oregon Journal and piles of
Portland paper. In their room, tes

Rhode, the former Bradshaw
