Bradford. who died at the Southern Hotel
on April Il, 1885, is said to be worth ut
least $3.50 OO0 Outside of about $4,000 i'll
minor beuucsts, the entire estate was left
to the Methodist Orphans Home at Mary

under which the validity OF the will was
established. The plaintiffs had alleged that
1t was not valid. that their relative was of
unsound mind and that he was subject to
undue influences.
The trial of the case revealed n pathetic
incident in the life Of Doctor Bradford. and
one which materially fastened his death
It seems that in his younger days Doctor
Bradford was engaged In developing part
Of the famous Comstock lode. out OF which
he made cool million dollars. Not until
he was past 80 did he turn his attention to
matters matrimonial. He married a young
Alabama widow. and they started to Yir-
g;nia Immediately on a bridal tour. to bs
gone for six months. But they returned to
her Alabama home in precisely three
weeks. The day they returned Doctor Brad
where he stayed for three weeks. He then
went back to Alabama. and. on the day Of
his arrival. Mrs. Bradford went to Louis
Vile to visit her brother. Circuit Judge
Sterling B. Toney. She also remained
away three weeks, and upon her return
Doctor Bradford came Immediately to st.
Louis. staying Just three weeks, when hts
wife took another trip.
This state of affairs continued for several
months. In the meantime the neighborhood
gossip had reached Louisville. and Judge
Toney went to Alabama to investigate. Just
exactly what passed in the interview be-
tween him and Doctor and Mrs. Bradford
will probably never be known but at fits
let his wife get a divorce and also to give
her $4,000 which. he said, was half of his
estate.
Several months later Mrs Bradford con-
cluded that she had not received an equal
, share OK the property. and instituted pro-
ceedings to recover. In the suit that fcl-
lowed the secret of their marriage failure
was divulged. Both We're extremely NOR
