HOFFMAN MAY
SUE THE CITY
ST. JOSEPH ARCHITECT NOW
SEEKS VINDICATI0N
Demands Removal of His Picture
From Rogues' Gallery and Some
Balm for Indignities
Offered

Claude l.. Hoffman, arrested in this
city on a telegraphic order from st.
Joseph Mo-, and at once released when
he returned to face charges of grand
larceny, threatens to bring suit against
the city and the police department for
false Imprisonment.
He consulted his attorney, H. H.
Appel, and steps may be taken within
a few days to institute proceedings
against the police for their treatment
of him.
According to the story told by Mr..
Hoffman, he suffered many indignities
at the hands of the police and was
treated as a felon and fugitive from
justice. But on his return to st. Jo-
seph Hoffman says that the grand jury
refused to find true bill against him
on the charges preferred by some po-
1itical enemy in that city.
Financial Trouble
He was a member of the firm Of
Hoffman & Chittendon, architects, and
according to his statement, the firm
became financially embarrassed. Rather
than try to start all over again in that
city, Hoffman says he determined to
come west and try his fortunes on
the Pacific coast
While in Denver he met the little
woman who became his wife and the
two came to Los Angeles on their
honeymoon. They had rooms at 1850
West Seventh street and lived very
happily for about a week until an Of
ficer rudey interrupted loves young
dream and took the husband to jail.
Hoffman was held there without bail,
and shackled to an officer made fire.
uuent trips to the justices courts and
the county court house during his
strong fight for freedom. Despite all
his efforts and the determined battle
put up by his attorney, Hoffman was
taken back to st. Joseph in custody
of Deputy Sheriff William Wheeler.
He arrived there the last of January,
and when his case was taken up by the
grand jury it was promptly thrown out.
Now Hoffman has returned to seek
his young wife who is supposed to be
at Venice. AS soon as possible, Hotf-
man will demand that his picture be
taken from the rogues' gallery at the
city Jail, on the ground that he is no
criminal and has rever been even
under indictment for any alleged crime.

BRONCOS DASH INTO CROWD
Exciting Features for the Spectators
at the Fiesta Park
"Taminu" Contest


The finale Of the bronco busting con-
test at Fiesta park yesterday afternoon
came near numbering other things than
broken ponies among the numbers on
the program.
AS the last equine had supposedly
been subdued and they were leading
him to the corral at the end of the park,
the brute suddenly gave violent jerk
and bolted.
There were many in the crowd that
surged around the field who suddenly
discovered amazing latent sprinting
possibilities and 100-yard records went
to pieces by the score as the gathering
hurried pell-mell for the little two by
four gate that led to the bleachers and
safety.
With a snort of righteous rage the
fractiQus beast made tumultuous course
around the park, to the dismay of q
portion of the assemblage which was
filing across the arena.
At last the pony was captured by a
herd of cowboys. who made many a
wild throw before encircling the head
of the touring nag.
The program was one of tfhe best
that has been given since the COM
mencement of the wild riding, and
Idaho Bill proved the only rider of the
day who did not come i'll contact with
the ground before the fun was over.
The twins Maud, two wicked-appear-
ing mules, We're more than match for
the bareback riders and threw them
with little compunction up in the air,
sidewise, over their heads and in vari-
Gus other striking positions, to the glee
of the spectators, who showed marked
partially toward the big-eared ones.
