FINDS BULLET IN HIS
HEAD AFTER FOUR YEARS

About four years ago, G. w. Dana.
engineer on the Oregon Short Line,
was in his cab down in the east end
of the yards when something struck
him violently on the top of the head.
Mr.. Dana thought that he had been
struck by lightning and after having
the wound bound up let 1t go at that.
During the past four years the injury
has given him considerable trouble,
never having completely healed, and
when on last Thursday his physician
suggested that 1t might be relieved
by opening up and cleaning the old
wound he consented. When this was
done it was discovered that 22-cali-
bre bullet was imbedded between the
scalp and the skull.
A man who was working in the east
end OF the yards on the day Mr.. Dana
was hurt states that some boys were
playing with rifles in the willows
nearby and doubtless the bullet Mr.
Dana has packed around so faithfully
for the past four years came from on'
of these.

beautiful house and grounds in WASH
ington although there were much
more expensive ones but none for
which nature had done 30 much.
Senator Brady was getting the place
in completed form just before hs
died. A new fence surrounding the
grounds and a big gateway were the
latest features he had added.
The senator was not obtrusivs In
his hospitality. He and Mrs. Brady
liked good friends and were simple In
their tastes. They loved company
and usually had invitations out for
house guests.
His Broad Charity.
Senator Brady was charitable
man in his relations with Washing
ton. He helped in many religious and
philanthropic enterprises. His latest
benefaction was the little Congrega-
tional church, a portable affair. which
few members OF the Congregational
list denomination, including Senator
Brady, had arranged to have set up
on vacant lot Just opposite the SEN
ator's beautiful home. Senator Bra
dy made the church enterprise possi-
BILE by what he gave to 1t. Senator
Sterling, South Dakota, a neighbor of
Brady, was another contributor. The
material for the little church is on the
lot but it's assembling had waited up
on propitious weather.
Senator Brady was loyal to his
state. He loved Idaho with passion.
One of the last letters received from
him by the Capital News correspond
ent referred TO the beauties Of Poca-
tello. The senator was there resting
just before the congress session be-
gun He dwelt upon the natural
beauty of the country at that season
and then added that he could not see
why any person permitted TO dwell in
such scenes should ever want to live
in Washington.

Washington, Jan. 19.-There are
various estimates as to the wealth
left by the late Senator Brady. Few
persons know absolutely. One OF the
representatives OF the Guggenheim
syndicate who was familiar with the
senator's investments. and had some
in common with him, said that he be-
heved Brady to be worth close to ave
millions
Most of the senator's Idaho friends
thought this estimate too high. He
certainly was in the millionaire class
Since coming to Washington Senator
Brady sought several investment COM
panies here to find a place for idle
capital He dealt in trust notes to
some extent.
His beautiful home show place
in the capital--cost him above $780,
600. This place was built by the late
Senator George Nixon, Nevada. Orig
inally the grounds comprised 3S
acres. An effort was made to sell the
entire tract to Senator Brady for ap-
proximately $40O, 900, but the Idaho
senator decided there was too much
ground He finally made an offer OF
100000 for the beautiful house and
13 acres Immediately surrounding it.
This offer was accepted and the Nixon
estate retained the other 25 acres
and arranged to subdivide it. Senator
Brady made expensive and extensive
improvements in the grounds.
Garage Cost @25, 900.
He built a garage at an expense of
nearly $4,000. The story is still told
Of how Senator Jim" Watson, Indi-
ana, went to Senator Brady one day
and asked him to reserve him living
apartment in the new structure which
was then building. The senator
thought Watson was serious at first
and hastily assured him that the new
building was not an apartment house
but a garage. The new house and
ground has probably cost Senator
Brady up to the time OF his death In
new buildings. repairs and grades and
drives, close to $250,00O. It was a
beautiful estate.
The house was of the Spanish style
