A dispatch from Salt Lake says that
Anfar Brown, formerly United States
Senator and his wife, Mrs. Ida Cameron
Brown, have joined hands for offensive
and offensive operations against Mrs.
Annie Bradley, a pretty widow, who
declares she will drag Brown to the peni-
tentiary with her. Sen.tor Brown and
Mrs. Bradley were arrested several
months ago on warrants charging crimi-
nal relations, which were sworn TO by
Mrs Brown, who adopted this means of
ending an intrigue which had been car
ried on for several years, a result OF
which was the birth of two children.
Recently Senator Brown and his wife
became reconcied soon after Brown had
filed suit for divorce. One of the con-
ditions of the reconciliation was that
Senator Brown should discard Mrs.
Bradley. The moment Mrs. Bradley
was told that Brown had cast her off
she hastened into court and entered a
plea Of guilty to the charge OF criminal
relations. Then she declined to COM
promise with the Senator on a financial
basis. She announced that Brown must
divorce his wife and marry her for the
sake of their children. This Brown re-
fused to do, and in an interview he
ordered his wife to throw Mrs. Bradley
out of his office. The Senator'S wife at

came out victor, and was left in possession
of the field. As Mrs. Rradley had plead
ed guilty to the joint charge pending
against herself and TIE Senator, and de-
clared that when Brown was put on trial
she would go on the witness stand and
make full confession, in the opinion of

tentiary staring him in the face.

cudon. the KEY to which is held by her
old rival. Mrs. Bradley is a remarkably
shrewd woman. She is out for revenge,
and is playing the trump card she holds
with rare skill and intelligence If she
carries oct her threat and repeats at the
Brown trial the confession which she
made when she was arraigned it will go
hard with Brown.
