MRS. BRADLEY WILL
BREAK BROWNS
LAST WILL
(By Associated Press \

Salt Lake City, Dec. 4.-Now that
she has been acquitted on the charge
Of murder, Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley,
through her attorney and in behalf
of her children, will bring an action
to break the will of the late Senator
Brown. whom she shot to death in
Washington. Her friends here say
that such course has been contem-
plated ever since the will was op-
ened.
The contest will be based on the
written acknowledgment of Senator
Brown that Mrs. Bradley's two sons
are his own.
In his will Brown expressly disa-
vowed the paternity of the two chill
dren, and stipulated that, even II
they were his children. they should
receive nothing from his estate.
The greater part of the estate,
amounting to some $4,000, was de-
vised to his son Max and his daugh-
ter Alice.
The attack on the will. which has
already been admitted to probate.
will not commence until Judge Pow
ers returns from Washington.

TWO MEN AND TWO WOMEN
MURDERED IN OREGON
lRy Agsoclated Press. J


Salem, Ore, Dec. News of the
murder of four persons on a ranch
near Macleay reached here today.
The bodies of a Mrs. Casteel, her
daughter, aged about 2i her son,
aged about 10; and the foreman of
the ranch, man named Montgom-
ery. aged about so, were discovered
in the burned ruins OF their abode
on what is known as the Hurst ranch.
Just how they were killed may never
be. known, owing to the charred con-
dition of the bodies; but, from the
fact that shotgun and a blood
stained hatchet were found near the
place, it is surmised that these wea-
mons were used in the slaughter.
There is some speculation as to
the identity of the murderers ana
the motive for the crimei but from
the best evidence at hand 1t would
seem that the killing was done by
tramps bent on robbery, who AFTER
ward fred the house to give the I'M
preston that the victims had Deeh
accidentally burned TO death.
The sheriff and his deputies are
searching the vicinity for some trace
of the murderers'
The Casteel family and Montsoin-
erv were recent arrivals from Myrtie
point, and little is known mere OF
their antecedents. 1t is reported that
tbev we're possessed of considerable
money.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Mayor F. A.
Busse welcomed the delegates who
assembled in the Auditorium hotel
this morning for the fourth annual
convention of the Westerp. Fruit Job
bers' Association. Buyers and ship
pers of fruit from all sections of the
west. from Illinois to California. are
in the convention. II.
NJ. Jones of Sioux Falls, s. D., is
president of the organization.
The most important matters to be
considered at the present session are
the investigation OF express compan-
les by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and Of their methods in the
buying. selling and handling of con-
signment fruits. vegetables and oys-
ters. The senate resolution provid-
Ing for this investigation was secured
through the work of the association.
Recent hearings on this order have
been held in Omaha, Kansas City
and Chicago, and much evidence was
adduced by members of the associa-
tlon tending to show that the ex-
press companies have engaged In the
fruit and produce commission busi-
ness Another hearing will be held
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion In Dailas, ieA'' 1nhuai' - "hu
plans will be made at the present
to present additional and
evidence.
The correction of alleged freight
and refrigerator rate Determinations
against fruit jobbers and shippers
will also occupy much of the time of
the convention and 1t is likely that
n formal complaint will be filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
as result of the conference.
