The fact that the men had built
fire to wash their feet with warm
water is plausible, for railroad men
frequently resort to this method of
easing paining and tired feet. 1t
seems strange, If as the police
theory has it, the dynamite should
have exploded in the can of water.
A theory held by persons who
wer within sound and ran to the
aid Of the injured men, is that dy-
Mantle was cashed under the rock
against which the fire was built. 1t
Is reasonable to think that when a
fire was built against the rock the
dynamite was exploded. Dynamite
experts say that the water probably
was allowed to get too hot.
What looks bad for the suspects
is the fact that they had railroad
tickets. In this manner yeggmen
often fortify themselves for hasty
getaway.
No guns were found, which is
strange and leads to the belief that
If the men are yeggmen, the guns

men sometimes don't, but safe

Forty-one calibre cartridges were

The man in the city Jail may be
taking loss of memory, for he
says that he cannot remember the
happenings Of yesterday afternoon
very clearly. This lapse may be
caused by the explosion. Men who
fish with dynamite often have lost
their memories for days following
an explosion which occurs before
the dynamite strikes the water.

best of his recollection, Is named AL

BIG FIGHT
OVER ROAD

PORTLAND, Nov. PA desper-
ate legal battle between the Hill
and Hartman interests is soon to
be fought over the possession Of
the Coos Bay, Roseburg and East
ern railroad, a 80 mile line extend
ing from Coos Bay to Myrtle Point
along the Coquille river. The line
was formerly in possession OF r. A.
Graham, but was seized in a sensa-
tional manner by j. d. Spreckles in
1898 to satisfy a private debt of
1923 900. Later the road was placed
in the hands Of a receiver and last
year was sold to Hartman. The
receiver was recently discharged,
and with this Graham comes back
to fight fo: possession of the road
on the ground that the Spreckles
seizure was illegal.
Graham is being backed by Hill,
as the northern railway fagnate
wants 1t as part of his proposed
line from Portland to San Fran
cisco Hill wants il as the last link
in ~ extension of the California
Northwestern to Eureka and Port
land.
The suit will probably be begun
in the federal courts in Portland.

agency is charged with shipping
men to jobs and refusing to refund
the money when the jobs were re-
fused. The most startling evidence
came from Otto Neuhaus, steam
ship ticket agent of this city, who
was formerly employed with the
Hansen agency. He said that the
agency allowed contractors and
others rake-Off on the money paid

MRS. BRADLEY TOMORROW, WILL TELL
THE STORY OF HER LIFE, ON STAND
BY Margaret q. Downing

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
Mrs. Annie Bradley will go on the
witness stand during her trial,
and tell all the story of her love af-
fair with former United States SEN
ator Brown, and of her devotion to
him through years. She will tell
of the desertion Of her and her chill
dren and of the tragic details Of
his murder for which she is now to
be tried.
1t will be a dramatic story of
woman's trust, of mans perfdy
and of woman's revenge. Mrs.
Bradley in the old days of politics
in Utah was noted for her oratory.
Her magnetism is of the kind
which brings all who come in con-
tact with her to her way of think
ing. Her first association with
Brown and the methods he employ
ed for her undoing are dramatic ma
terial, and the kind which find IA
vor with a southern jury. -
Witnesses for the trial are arriv-
ing in Washington. There are sew
eral from Utah who will testify re-
garding the relations of Mrs. Brad
ley and Brown while his wife was
still living and afterwards.
Of her previous life an dher gen.
eral high character, Mrs. Bradley
can bring reams of testimony in
Salt Lake City as we'll as in Den
yer, her former home. That she
was woman who loved unwisely
but too well, seems generally ad-
mitted.
OF the tragedy there were no
witnesses, and no details except
those furnished by Brown during
the 36 hours that he survived after
the shots, and what Mrs. Bradley
admitted at the coroner's inquest.
According to the manager of the
Hotel Raleigh, Brown arrived in the
morning and had gone out when a
quiet little woman, very plainly
dressed, asked for a room and
while she was signing her name on
the register asked casually, as it
seemed if man named A. Brown,
of Salt Lake City, was stopping
there.
The clerk said he was and he
noted that she had written Mrs. A.
Brown, Salt Lake City. He asked
if she were his wife She replied
she was not, but that she knew
him.
Her manner was calm and lady

NATURAL GAS FINDER DEAD

Jacob Illyes, the seer of Hamilton

the palmy days OF natural gas in
Central Indiana Illyes gained \
reputation for locating gas wells
by the bending of twigs.

many companies composed of farm

paid lllyes good prices for his adj
vice. He would cut small forked

In his hands and walk about In the
vicinity where 1t was the intention

TANGLE
IN CANADA

VANCOUVER. B. c.. Nov. 12.-
AS the result of a decision handed
down late yesterday by Justice
Clements Of the British Columbia
supreme court the validity of every
divorce that has taken place in
British Columbia during the last
81 years is tainted Justice Glenn
ents has decided that the divorce
law of British Columbia went out
of existence when the old crown
colony Joined the confederation
forming the Dominion of Canada
That was in 1871. Since that date
declares Clements, the old divorce
law has been void.
If the court Of appeals upholds
Clements hundreds of divorces and
ensueing marriages involving hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of property will be affected in a
legal tangle.
Legislation will probably be UNI
dertaken at the next meeting of
the dominion parliament and pro-
vincial legislature validating all
divorces and marriages that have
taken place during this time.

A terrific explosion on the north
bank of the river above Natatorium
park and near the Fort Wright foot
bridge at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon resulted in the death of Albert
Grant and injuries to AL Addington
and Charles Moore.
Albert Grant is in the morgue,
Arlington at deaths door in st.
Luke's hospital, and Moore, the
least injured, is locked up in the
city Jail.
Every circumstance thus far in.
dicates that the men were boiling
nitro-glycerine ont Of dynamite for
the purpose of blowing UP safes.
Moore was very bewildered when
sweated by the police yesterday
and seems bewildered today. He
gives the following version of the
explosion.
I'VE built small fire against a
pile of stones which had evidently
been piled there by someone else.
After about 10 minutes, while walk
ing a few feet from my companions,
who were sitting near the fire,
was thrown upon my face. l got
up and saw the mangled bodies of
my companions a few feet from
where they had been sitting. |
started to run then, | was so be-
wildered. | came back and by that
time people came running to the
scene"
Moore is not certain of his sub
sequent steps. The police have as
certained, however, that he board
ed car, went to st. Luke's hos
pital and adviced the attendants
that couple of wounded men
were being brought. then he left.
He did not return to the hospital
until in the evening and then was
arrested. He says he spent all that
time trying to find his way back.
Several persons who heard the
explosion say that Moore stopped
first beside his companions and
seemed to be extracting something
from their pockets. Then he went
about 100 yards from the spot and
threw something away. He return
ed and built small fire away from
where the first fire was and burn
ed some papers.
Moore denies all knowledge of
these actions. He says, though,
that at first he started to run in
the wrong direction.
