CHICAGO, Aug. lo.--What is supposed

CURED In one OF Goodwillie g. Co. s

The report was like that Of a cannon.
but the only damage to property. was
the destruction Of the wagon and the
load OF boxes, which were reduced to
kindling wood. A search was made for
some portion Of the supposed bomb or
anything else that might throw some
light upon the mystery. but without
avail. and the police were compelled to
postpone a fuller investigation until
morning.
It is thought by the officers that one
of the men who have been hanging
about the yards for several months, in
hope OF getting work, became desperate
and tried to destroy a portion Of the
yards. but that when near the packing
houses his courage deserted him and the
bomt or whatever II was was placed In
