The River Press, Fort Benton, Montana, 2 April 1913
Edmund Bradford, a stranger who arrived here Saturday night, died in his room in the Choteau House Monday evening from the effects of poison he had taken. The condition of the unfortunate man was discovered early in the evening and a physician was summoned, but efforts to administer an emetic were resisted by the patient and death soon ended his suffering.
From papers found on the person it appears his former home was at Fredericksburg, Va., and that he came here from Seattle to work with a Milwaukee survey crew near the Brady-Collins ranch.
It was discovered also that he had served with the Fourteenth infantry at Fort Harrison, Mont., and secured his discharge about three years ago. The discharge papers indicate he was about 31 years of age.
The cause for suicide is a mystery, the victim of the tragedy having given no reason for taking his own life, and it is assumed he became despondent over matters about which no information has been obtained. A brief memorandum requested that notice of his death be sent to relatives in Florida, and Coroner Wilford has wired to the address for instructions as to disposition of the body.
