Death sr ex-Goverasr bradley.

Death Or ex-C0VernOr Bradley.
The dropping dag at half.mast from
its staff on the Plaza. at IN early hour
this morning. gave notice that the re-
lentless harvester had gathered one
more to his immortal home, and in afew
moments q gloom was cast over the en-
tire town blythe mournful news that Gov.
ernor Bradley was no more. The kindly
disposition and social manner Of the
Governor. had endeared him to all. and
though his critical condition Was we'll
understood and appreciated. the
sad announcement Of his death
was q shock to the hearts OF his
relatives md friends, and to those who
bad only enjoyed his brief acquaintance;
the feeling being general, that each had
suffered the loss Of n personal friend.
Nothing unusual in his symptoms was
observed yesterday. but toward mid
night he became weaker, and at | o'clock
he requested TO be moved from his easy
chair to his bed, and then quietly
breathed his last almost without the
knowledge of those in attendance;
death coming like u peaceful sleep, and
his mental faculties remaining unim-
paired to the last.
Tho deceased wns born in Madison
County, Virginia, February 18th, 1905.
and grew to manhood in his native
State. A few years after. he married
Virginia II. Willis while he was still n
young mai and II few years later moved
with his family. accompanied by some
other relatives, TO Kentucky, in IS43.
His residence in that State was brief,
however, rs at the expiration Of a little
more than n year, he moved with his
family to Missouri in 1915.
Having lost his wife by death a few
years later, the glowing accounts from
California, the then new Dorado, at
tracted his energetic spirit, and in 1852
lie converted most of his property into
cattle, and with n large drove he cross
ed the broad plains, passing through
the Territory OF Utah, now Nevada, by
the old road just west of this town; con-
tinued on beyond the Sierra Nevadas
aud settled in San joaquin county CAL
Iforuia. On this journey he was ac-
companied by his sou John Il. Bradley,
who subsequently became associated
with his father III the stock business
which they engaged in extensively. anu
continued until the food of 1862 reduce
ell them TO ne verge OF bankruptcy. Tho
small remnAn saved from the herds was
brought by them to this State in 1864,
md By untirinS industry aud perseyer-
ance. guided by correct Judgment and
management, both father and son sue
csoded in retrieving their losses. On
his arrival in this State the deceased
located NJ Austin, Lander county, but
subsequently, removed to Elko, and has
always since made this his home, and
for II, always eyinced o marked attach
ment, which has eyor been as cordially
reciprocatcd.
Since assuming n wide and honor
able prominence in the material inter-
ests Of the State, his history is too
we'll known to require any auxiliary,
Brave. and ever true to his trust, the
State has lost q warm and valued friend,
and the highest tribute that can DO paid
to his memory. is that no died as he
had liyed-an honest aud an honorable
man.
