FOUND WAS TAKEN FROM CLEAR CREEk NEAR LEAGUE CITY. Bradley Leads Detectives to Lonely Bridge Where He Threw Body Off. Mystery Cleared Up. Houston, Tex.-H. M. Bradley, an automobile driver and mechanician, Saturday morning led detectives to Clear creek, the dividing line be tween Harris and Galveston counties. "I killed J. P. Wright," he said. "I did not do it intentionally. I knocked him down and his head hit on the corner of an anvil. His body I threw of this bridge," and he indicated to officers the road bridge over Clear creek, just opposite League City. Within an hour the body of J. P. Wright, weighted down by a fifty pound jack screw, was found fifty feet from the south bank of Clear creek, less than a dozen yards from where Bradley said he had thrown it. Thus is cleared one of the most mysterious cases in the history of Houston. J. P. Wright, a business man ir comfortable circumstances, disappear ed from his garage at Capitol avenue and Caroline street Monday night. The garage is an old church building. In his deposition to the police, which will be used against him at the subsequent trial, Bradley says this is what happened: "Mr. Wright and I had a disagree ment over business matters in the garage. The disagreement ended in a wordy dispute and then in a fight I hit him over the head and he fell. In falling his head hit an anvil. I waited a moment for him to move, but he remained quiet. I examined him and he was dead. I sat down by the body and figured out what I had better do. No one had seen the fight, and the thought occurred to me to hide the body. A four-cylinder car L was standing in the garage. I thought t of the car and then thought of the lonely bridge that I had passed many a time on my way to Galveston. I n put the body in the car, arranged a r weight that would hold it under water t and, placing the body in the car, drove to the bridge near League City. Reaching the bride I picked the body up, carried it to the rail and dumped it over." Two gashes in the back of the dead man's head, four inches long, in flicted with a sharp instrument, un doubtedly caused death. A hole un e der the jaw, on the left side of the e face, is believed to have been caused by a violent blow. The families of the two men have been living together. Bradley has a wife and Wright is survived by two 8 chf~ren, Marian, a 14-year-old girl, Lt and Pledger, a 15-year-old son. The report that a considerable sum 1 of money was drawn from his bank by Wright on the afternoon of the night he was killed is being investi gated by detectives. The man under arrest is 41 years of e age. He learned the automobile busi Sness at Indianapolis, Ind., and has worked at Indianapolis, Topeka, Kan sas City, Lake Charles and drove a i public car in Beaumont just before .. coming to Houston. J. P. Wright had lived in Houston practically all of his life with the ex ception of a few months spent in San b Antonio.

FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS Are Richst in Curative Qualities FOR BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, KIDNEYS ANo BLADDER PLEASANT TIME IN PROSPECT Bachelor Brother Now Knows Some thing of the Duties That Fell to the Young Mother. "I was visiting my married sister in Toledo last week," relates "Buck" Hawes. "She's got a three-year-old kid, and, while I am fairly fond of children, I am a bachelor and some what sot in my ways. I was rather dismayed, therefore, when my sister proposed leaving me in the house with the child one afternoon. And here's what she said: "'Don't put yourself to a bit of trouble-he can take care of himself. See that he doesn't climb up to the pantry shelves and keep an eye on him so that he won't get into any mischief. He won't annoy you. Don't let him go down cellar and watch that he doesn't get hold of the books in the library, and hell amuse himself all right. If he cries, give him a cooky, and if that doesn't stop him, ride him on your back. But don't let him bother you a bit. I'll be home in an hour!' "-Cleveland Plain Dealer. SCALES ON SCALP ITCHED Muskogee, Okla.-"For more than a year I was afflicted with scalp disease. There were large white flakes or scales which caused the painful itch ing and my scratching would bring blood and cause sores. My hair came out in large quantities and what re mained was thin, dry and lifeless. My temples were completely bare. Dur ing this time I tried everything that I thought would help me but nothing seemed to do any good. A friend ad vised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. "I bathed with Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment. At the end of about four weeks my scalp was sound and well and my hair had thick ened up and grown wonderfully in such a short time."

Will Irwin, the author, was holding forth upon the superiority of Califor nia over Florida as a winter resort. "Florida," he said, "is too relaxing. This is due to the fetid air of the swamps. "There's a story about a young man who was being examined for admis sion to the Florida bar. The examina tion ran thus: "'Young man are you malaria proof?' " 'Yes, sir.' "'Can you ride?' "'Yes, sir.'

Calumet Ends "Bad Luck" Remember when you were a youngster, what a trial baking day was? If Moth er was lucky, everything went finely-but if she had "bad luck" her cakes and her pies and her bread were failures. Her success in baking seemed to depend al most altogether on "luck." Nowadays there's no such thing as "baking luck.' At least, not in the kitch ens of the up-to-date cooks. Simply be cause Calumet Baking Powder has smashed that old time idea. It has made baking sure of success. It has made in experienced cooks able to bake perfect ly, and day after day it is saving hun dreds of dollars worth of time and ma terials by doing away with costly failures. Calumet Baking Powder is the purest baking powder made-and guaranteed not only to be pure, but to stay pure in the can and In the baking. Calumet has twice been officially judged the best bak ing powder made-receiving the highest awards at the World's Pure Food Expo sitions in Chicago (1907) and In Paris (12). Adv.
