this fraternity. It is also Known
that he stands we'll in its councils.
1t is further known that he has
many friends who would come to
his rescue were lney able to do so.
II the letters emanate from these
sources, the situation takes on a
graver aspect.
At present the authorities are
very mum about the entire incident.
In fact, they expressed chagrin that
the facts so far as known would be
made public. None of those con-
nected with the affair will talk of
the matter.
Both Judge Poindexter and Pro-
secutor Barnhart acknowledge the
receipt Of threatening letters, but
will talk no further.
If the letters have been written
in behalf of Bradley it would seem
that he has not in the least profit
ed by the attempt. In this connec-
ton it is hard to see how the prose-
cutting attorney is picked out, for
he did not prosecute Bradley.
1t is understood that the margin
Of the letters were decorated with
deaths heads, cross bones and
smears Of something resembling
blood. However, the real substance
of the red is being investigated as
possibly furnishing clue. 1t is
rumored that on one of the letters
the red appears as if impressed
with thumb marks, which show the
irregular lines Of the skin. This
also may lead to a clue.
Both of the threatened men left
the courthouse this noon for lunch
as if nothing had happened.
The only word from Judge Poin-
dexter was: 81 don't know as it
amounts to anything worth men
tioning."
Mr.. Barnhart expressed regret
that the matter would be published
as he believed that it might hamper
the efforts of the officials in run
ming the threateners to the ground.

BAD MEN IN LAWS

Officer Snamiska. Warner stated
the man had showed a gun In the
Olson saloon, corner Stevens and
Main. Peterson went to the Com.

He searched Bevins and found a
3S caliber revolver.
AS soon as the mans name was
given the police connected him with
Charles Reynolds who was convict
ed on the charge of vagrancy.
Reynolds and Bevins are sup
posed to have been the men who
have been holding up people In the
east end of town. The names OF
the victims are not known but any
one who has been held up in the
city are requested to call at the
police station and identify the

1t is well established that acts of
violence become epidemic when
once started.
One theory is that the letters
may have been written by Bradley
and sent by him out of the Jail
by some person unknown. 1t GER
tainly did not go out in the usual
manner, else the sheriff would have
stopped it. The sheriff's men are
investigating possibilities in this
direction. If this theory is found
to be the true one, the incident has

letters will be given only the weight

The other theory is that the let
tiers came from some one of the
supposedly organized band of yegg
men, the most brutally reckless set
of men known to criminal annals,
men who stop at nothing. Dalton,
slayer of Policeman Stotko, Is Of
this class, and Bradley may be put
in the same category. This class
of men have secret signs and SYM
