time, and from 1892 until about 1896. the
between Mrs. Bradley and

Bradley was the secretary OF the Re
publican State central committee. and
about that time. Arthur Brown. the de-
ceased, was one Of the first Senators from
the State Of Utah He was actively en-
gagged i'm politics, and Mrs. Bradley was
identified with the faction of the Re
publican party which was known as the

casion. until he had finally wormed him
self into her affections TO such an eX-

named Arthur Brown, jr.. or sometimes
called Arthur Brown Bradley.
