Portions OF . Man Found Who Has Been
Missing for Two Weeks-Thcories to
His Dtsappearance.

H1s sO1sappearance.
MILFORD, Pa Sept 90, 1873.
There is considerable excitement in this vicinity
over the finding OF portion Of the remains of one
John Bradley, man who has been missing for two
weeks Bradley lived with his family on farm in
Dtpgman township, ABOUT seven miles from here.
He was in the habit of carrying on his person sums
Of money ranging from $is0 to $780, Two weeks
ago last Friday night he went to raising"
on Picots farm, two or three miles
from his place. He LETT for home aitei
nightiall 1t was raining and very dark. He did
not reach home, and the next day passing without
anything being seen OF him, party of neighbors
searched the woods for him IN all directions No
trace Of him could be found. Yesterday James
Brink and one or two others went out again to
seek for him. In swamp, about mile west OF
the Dingman turnpike they found, floating IN the
water, quantity OF hair, and near by portion or
shirt Further search resulted In discovering
part Of a human head, and there is no doubt
ameng those VINO knew Bradley that
the remains are his. Two suspicious
persons were lurking around Picot's on the
appearance suspicion has pointed to them as having
fouly dealt with him. Measures are being taken
to further investigate the affair.
theory advanced by some is that Bradley was
attacked, killed and devoured by wild beasts ~
which iniest that locality. Bradley had bank ac-
count in some New York bank, and had drawn o
check on the day OF his disappearance ior large
sum, which, 10 is thought, he had with him, as 1t
has not been seen since.
