DEATH OF BERT BR VDSHAW
Arm .Shot Off While Cleaning a Gun
at Noble, and He Dies From
Shock and Loss of Blood
At an adjourned meeting Saturdaj
night the city council by a vote of si;
to two passed the assessing ordinance
on Paving District No. 3, of which |
there has recently been so much talk.
Councilmen Ben Barbour and J M
Forehand voted against the passage.
As soon as published in the official
paper it becames law.
This action was taken to put the city
in the clear," so to speak, in the case
tgainst it now pending in ;he Federal
court. It was tiie contention of the
paving company that the city had en-
nsniracv with the
erty owners in Distri No. to r.cepl Mr. Bert Bradshaw, long a respect-
ive company out of its monev, ard tU citizen of Noble, died Saturday
failure of the city council to pass an | morning from the effects of a gun-
assessing ordinance was cited as a! wound, received accidentally
proof of such conspiracy. Every pro- j while cleaning an automatic shot gunj
eding has now bee:, taken by the' about 7 o'clock Friday evening.

United States Senator John W
Weeks of Massachusetts, who is one
of the "favorite son" candidates for
*he Presidency, is strongly opposed to
the limitation of debate in the upper
house of Congress. On this subject
Senator Weeks recently said:
"Cloture in the Senate would be a
iangerous step. Thinking people who
have watched the course of legislation
consider the Senate the great place
where there shall be free and unlim-
ited debate on all public questions.
The adoption of legislation without
suitable discussion should be opposed
to the limit."
city as a whole a good round sum of
i money in attorney fees and court
costs. Judge Dudley, owing to his po-
sition on the court commission, feels
that it would not be right nor ethical
for him to further represent the city
in the case, and has withdrawn. The
paving company is represented by
some of the leading lawyers of Okla-
homa, and Attorney Ralph Hardie,
who is representing the city, feels he
must be assisted by the best lawyers
to take the place of Judge Dudley. A
firm of Oklahoma City lawyers who
have been asked to take the case want
$1000, and probably that will just be a
starter. Looks very much as if the

one else at home. Mrs. Bradshaw being
at the home of the son next door, and
it is not known just how the accident
occurred. The first known of it was
when Mr. Bradshaw appeared at the
son's residence with his left arm shat-
tered to the shoulder, with arteries
literally spouting blood. Dr. Howell
was called and applied a tourniquet,
and later Dr. G. M. Glifton was called
from Norman. Later Dr. Bobo was
called in consultation, arid it was d<-
cided that the orfly hope for the unfor-
tunate gentleman (and at that, a very
slight one) was an operation, an am-
putation of the arm near the shoulder,
which was performed by the three sur-
geons Friday night. But he could not j
recover from the shock and great loss
of blood, and passed away Saturday
morning.
It i« 'honght after cleaning the gun
was solemnized at noon, by Re\. R, S.

Mr. Bradshaw was some G8 years of
age and a blacksmith and gunsmith by
occupation. It seems strange that af-
ter handling guns all his life he should
finally die from such an accident. He
