Bradbury then became suspicious and
this was added to by the information
being brought to him that Ward had re-
turned and had announced his int eution
Of remaining. The colonel knew that
the fellow had no money. and that Mrs.
Bradbury had less than a hundred dol
lars in money, but he knew also that she
had valuable jewelry which he had given
her on various occasions. Going to
her room he opened her jewel safe and

TAKES IT CALMLY

At little after midnight this morning
Colonel John was seen at tamale stand
at the corner of Second and Spring
streets, calmly disposing of tamala,

over his wifes disappearance. He will
take no steps to bring her back, and the
affair is probably ended as far as he is
concerned.

band who had given her all that love,
reinforced by the purse of Fortunatus
could present to satisfy her caprices,
has put aside an assured future, has in
troduced shame into two families of
honored names, has brought her mother
sorrow to countless friends.
This all seems to be large price to
pay for anything, no matter how val
liable, but all she has got in exchange
is middle-aged, bald-headed English
man, who has a wife and several chill
dren, who knows very little beyond the
art of polo playing and the compounding
of B and S, and who it is doubted
could earn a dollar to save his or her
life, and whose resources are only what
she has taken from her home. In De-
cember, 1893, Colonel John Bradbury,
the wealthiest youth in this part of the
state and Miss Lucie Banning were mar
ried in Oakland. Yesterday Mrs. Brad
bury left her home to join H. Russell
Ward of Santa Monica. No one knows
where the two are, though it is sur
missed that they left for San Francisco
on last nights train.
HOW 1T STARTED
The affair came to the surface only
last week. The Bradburys have been
staying at Santa Monica for the sum-
mer, and Ward Of late has been very
attentive to the fair Lucie. The colonel
came to the city last Tuesday to attend
to some business and returned late at
night, finding his wife away Thinking
she was at some friends he went to
bed. About midnight she came in and
without explanation retired to her own
apartment. Some time after two o'clock
Colonel John thought that he would see
her and ask her where she had been,
but on going to her room found it emp
ty. She returned to the house again
early in the morning and admitted hav-
ing been with Ward, but made such
representations and explanations that
Bradbury was, satisfied and the affair
was considered settled. The next day
Bradbury called upon Ward and rep
resented to him that his attent tons to
h is wife had become offensive. Ward
admitted that he had acted like black
guard and that he had no excuse to
offer.
A AMELODRAMATIC SCENE.
care you armed?" he said to Brad
bury. yes" was the reply. and the
colonel drew a big six shooter from his
pocket. "Well, them" continued Ward,
there I am, kill me. I deserve it," and
he stood up with his hands extended
above his head.
Bradbury did not then believe that
the affair had progressed to the point
where taking Wards life was justifia-
BILE, and as the latter could make no
show of resistance, nor would resent
any insult, Bradbury told him that he
could not kill him in cold blood; that
he should arm himself and they would
shoot on sight, but this Ward declined.
Then Ward, offered to leave the country
and this was agreed to, and he promised
to take the train the next day and go to
England.

Winston, who Is an athlete. heard of
the situation, aRd op his owTi account

hunted up Ward, and did his best to
make him fight, but without success,
though the matter did progress so far
that both armed themselves and met
on the sands at Santa Monica. Ward
was averse to proceeding to extremitdes,
however, and protested his innocence
so vehemently and received Winston's
invectives with such avoidance of re-
sentiment as to make it impossible for
any shooting to occur. The seconds of
both men refused to permit dt, and Win
ston was obliged to relinquish his pur-
pose Of wiping out the disgrace
Ward again agreed to leave the coun-
try and to stay away forever. He was
contrite and professed the utmost re-
pentance. The husband and wife were
reconciled, the incident had not become
public, and so the decision was reached
to let the whole matter drop, II the Of
Tending party would stand by his agree
ment to depart.
Ward did make the start and went as
far as Mojave. He was so infatuated
with Mrs. Bradbury, however, that he
found it was impossible to go where she
was not, and he took the next train
back, and on his return threw down the
gauntlet to everyone concerned. He was
here. and would stay here until Mrs.
Bradbury asked him to go, or If she
wished to go with him he would take her.
His entire mood had changed, and those
who heard his declarations knew that
more trouble would ensue.
A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
Meanwhile the colonel had thoroI,o !,
understanding with his wife. She sat-
isfied him that the escapade had simply
been an indiscretion; that she cared for
him only and they left Santa Monica,
and came to town, stopping at the home

All attempts last night to place Mrs.
Bradbury and Mr.. Ward have been un-

afternoon, but since then their relatives
and friends have heard nothing of
them. 1t is probable that Mrs. Banning
will receive her daughter back again,
but Colonel Bradbury is emphatic in
his statements that under no possible
circumstances is reconciliation posi-
BILE. The probability is that Mrs. Ward
will sue for divorce and will beyond
all question be given a decree which will
set Ward free, but Col. Bradbury seems
determined not to take any proceedings
and will not permit Mrs. Bradbury to
secure her freedom.
HANCOCK BANNING TALKS.
In the face of self-evident facts and
the admission of the husband, Hancock
Banning, a brother of Mrs. Bradbury,
still clings to the hope that there is some
mistake and the entire affair of the dis
appearance of his sister will be satisfac-
torily explained. He says he knows ab-
solutely nothing of her whereabouts,
and in this is Joined by the other mem
bers of the young woman's family. 1T
may be-" he says, that she is with
friends somewhere and will return all
right. I know nothing of the reports
that she has gone with Ward. She may
have. but do not know about it."
Mr.. Banning was seen last evening
at the residence of his mother on Broad
way, from where Mrs. Bradbury started
to meet Ward. "It was about II o'clock
this morning." he stated, that my sis
ter told her mother and sister that she
intended to go down town for a short
time. AS Mr. Bradbury was in the house
at the time the ladies thought nothing
of this and made no objection. She rang
for cab, just the same as any one
would have done, and after saying she
would return for lunch went away. This
was the last any of us have seen of her,
and none of us have any idea where she
is; yet, naturally, we hope that the re-
port of her elopement is incorrect.
Lunch was waited until o'clock for her,
and 8 she did not return at that time it
was at first supposed she had visited
lady friend who called the evening pre-
yious. We communicated with her by
telephone but she said that Mrs. Brad
bury had not been there, and this ma
turally occasloned surprise. Mr.. Brad-
bury waited some time for her, but as
she failed to return went to his mothers
house.
"How could Ward have communicated
with Mrs. Bradbury? Well, I cannot
state exactly. My sister states positive
ly that Mrs. Bradbury did not answer
the telephone during her residence az
her mothers house, and so far as is
known the only person who saw her was
a friend who called on her yesterday;
but of course cannot say as to whether
Ward sent any communication by this
means or not"

Des Moines, Iowa, March 24.-Five

MURDER AND ARSON
A Whole Family Slaughtered and the

Bodies Found Burned and Mutt

Nashville, Tenn, March 2i.-News
reached the city to-day that the resi-
dence of Jacob Ade, fifteen miles from
the city. on Paradise Ridge, burned last
night. The bodies of Jacob Ade, Mrs.
AIDE. Lizzie Ade. aged 20 years, their
daughter, and Rosa Morirer, aged 10
years, who was visiting tie family,
were found in the ruins of the building.
Henry Ade. aged Is years. is missing.
Ade was a we'll to do farmer. 1t is
supposed that the family were murder
ed and the house burned to conceal the
crime.
Searchers in the ruins Of the house
this morning found the body Of the
missing boy, burned TO a crisp. The
belief that murder preceded the fire is
growing. The principal evidence lead
ing TO this belief is the fact that though
the girls face was only slightly burned
the back of her head was missing. It
is thought that she was struck by some
such instrument as an axe. The heads
of two of the bodies were not found.
Mr.. Ade was over so years old and was
considered a rich man by the truck
gardeners and small farmers among
whom he lived. There is no clue TO the
possible murder. a roll of money, par
tally burned. was found II an oyster
can in the ruins.

think the reappointment OF Mrs. henna
would be good politics from RepuDil-
