Alleged Chicago Bucket Shop Raided
Revelations follow Action
of Police.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Detectives from
Chief Collins Office raided the broker
age offices of Thomas Davies & Co., in
the Rookery building, Friday. Ten
men and two women were caught in
the raid, but all except six were later
released. The descent on the offices
followed charges that the Davies firm,
one of the best known in La Sale
street, has been doing bucket-shop
business. The police assert they will
have witnesses who have paid in over
100000 to the concern. 1t was report
ed in La Sale street that Davies lial
bilities viii amount to nearer 100000
than 100000. The raid was made on
complaint of D. S. Dewey, of Gales,
burg, alleged loser of $4,000 in the
operations of the Davies house. Dewey
is said to have sunk his entire fortune
in the deals handled for him by Davies.
He is said to have been employed for
many years as a conductor on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway.

they should believe his unsupported
