IA suit to break the will Of toe late
Senator Arthur Brown. shot and killed
by Anna NJ. Bradley, was fled yesterday
afternoon in the third district court here.
One-haK Of the Brown estate Is asked
for the support Of the two sons born to
him by Mrs. Bradley-Arthur Brown. jr.,
aged seven. and Montgomery Brown. aged
four. Mrs. NJ. H. Madison. mother OF
Mrs. Bradley. was appointed guardian for
the two boys while the case is on.
Judge o. w. Powers. who Represented
Mrs. Bradley while on trial, Is working
in her interest in this new action.
Valuable Estate.
The Brown estate is valued at 500 900.
1t has been admitted to probate, and I'm.
der the will was shared equally by Max
Brown, the senator's son, and Alice
Brown, his daughter. No provisions were
made for the two Bradley Brown children.
Mrs. Bradley has the following statement
in tho senator's handwriting and written
upon his professional stationery:
salt Lake. March Is, i906.--I scknowl.
edge Arthur Brown and Martin Montsom.
cry as my children by Anna NJ. Bradley.

ator's mind was not strong when he made
the will; that It was weak from liquor
habits. and that Max exerted a heavy in
fiuence over his father. Mrs. Bradley does
not want any money for herself. she says,
but believes her two boys are entitled to
q fourth OF the estate each.
