Exaggerated Assault Case Involving Bradley and Ross Party
The Aberdeen based story of the assault on A A Bradley a middle aged rancher on North River and the arrest of Earl and Frank Ross and Forest Martin appears exaggerated. The dispute over a timber claim led to a clash with Bradley losing a black eye and the Ross boys removing his revolver. Bradley was later found unharmed and is out on bail awaiting a South Bend hearing this week.
