District of Windy City Do Con-
siderable Damage to Sew

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Two bombs were
thrown here tonight in the downtown
DISTRICTS, in buildings occupied by
gambling clubs. No one was injured,
but many windows were broken and
store stocks were damaged.
The first bomb exploded soon after
o'clock at 26O State street and the
other followed fifteen minutes later
near the corner of La Sale and Madi-
son streets. In the state street build
ing the Empire club is located and in
the latter the Worth Jockey club.
For two years bombs have been ex-
ploded intermittently in the vicinity
of gambling houses and bookmaAels S
establishments in Chicago. The bombs
thrown tonight were the thirty-second
and thirty-t third that have been thrown
in what is regarded as a quarrel be-
tween syndicates of gamblers.
The State street explosion damaged
buildings within a radius of block
and broke hundreds of windows.
In the store on the first floor the ex-
plosion scattered the stock and blew
out plate glass windows.
Many buildings were damaged, in
cluding the Chicago Automobile club
the Imperial and Inter-Ocean hotels
and a vaudeville house which was
filled when the bomb was fired.
The detonation frightened the audi
ence, and women and men rushed fol
the street in a panic. No one was
injured.

ASSERTS WIFE'S
FAMILY Is RICH
MEXICAN is BROUGHT BACK
FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Luis Gonzalez Says Father-inuLaw Is
William Giebes of Golden Gate
city-Declares He Bought
Drafts

With his spirits apparently crushed
and begging that no word or mention
OF his wife or her family connections
be made in regard to his arrest, Luis
Gonzalez, who represented himself as
the scion of a wealthy Mexican fam
lily of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. was
lodged in The city jail last night, haV-
ing been brought from San Francisco,
where he was arrested on advice OF the
Los Angeles police, charged wltn
cashing a Valueless draft for $3.50 at
the Hotel Lankershim.
Stylishly dressed, suave in conVersa-
tion and to all appearances a thorough
gentleman, Gonzalez, who gave his age
as 25, emphatically denied he was gull
ty of passing a worthless draft, but
during a half hour of gruelling ques-
tions he told a story that was not con-
sistent, and stated that he was the
victim of misunderstanding and that
he would be able to prove in court
that he had no knowledge or the 1act
that the draft was not good.
The young Mexican was more solicl"
tous that no mention be made of his
American wife, who lives in San Fran
cisco, than in regard to his own pre-
dicament as he stated he had made
ARRANGEMENTS to have the Mexican
consul, Antonio .Lozano, appear in his
Behalf when his case will be tried.
Talks with Reluctance
After much hesitancy, Gonzalez
stated his wife was formerly Miss
Gertrude Liebes. daughter of William
Liebes a wealthy landowner, living
at $50 Second avenue, San Francisco
He stated he was married three years
ago, and that his father-in-law Is
very wealthy. In San francisco Con
zalez gave the former name of his
wife as Gertrude Williams
Although reticent in discussing his
domestic affairs he admitted he had
not been living with his wife recently
and that his object in coming to Los
Angeles was to better his health, as he
was a victim of an automobile accident
in which his right hip was broken.
The youthful looking prisoner said
his father was Daniel Gonzalez, a cot
ton manufacturer of Puebla, a town
fiftv miles from the City of Mexico
and that he was employed as a sales
agent in the United States.
Gonzalez gave weird account OF
how he came in possession OF the bogus
draft for $3.50 on the "Jos Brewing
company" and against an account sup
posed to be in the Fourth National
bank of New York.

has the Endorsement of the Good Gov
ernment league, and P. II. Mccarthy
is also the nominee of the lndepend-
ence League party.
Francis j. Heney, who as deputy
district attorney has been connected
with the prosecution of the cases
which grew out of the graft charges
when the Schmitz administration was
overturned three years ago, appears
on the ticket four times as a candidate
for the Office of district attorney.
He is the candidate of the Demo-
Gratis, the Good Government league,
the Independence league and the
Heney league. His opponent, Charles
NJ Flckert, is the nominee of the Union
Labor and Republican parties.
Heney secured the Democratic non1i-
nation by narrow margin after both
his and Fickert's names had been writ
ten in by the electors of that party.
Fickert contested the nomination, but
the recount ordered by the court left
Heney the winner by a reduced ma
jority.
In the contest for places on the SUI
pervisorial ticket the official ballot is
almost as badly involved as in the
case OF the candidates for mayor and
district attorney. Some OF the aspi-
rants are the nominees of no less than
three parties.
The fight for the district attorney
Ship has been exceedingly bitter ever
since the nominations were made, and
during the past week the battle for
the mayoralty has become equally
fierce.

HoIbrook Happenings
From the Argus.

From the Argus.
Last Saturday morning Con
stable Wilson brought up from
Winslow an old man who was
considerably battered and cut
about the head From the story
of the train crew it seems that
this man had been acting queerly
all the night before. He had been
carefully watched but while the
train was getting fairly under
way out of WinSlOw he escaped
notice for a moment, and think
ing some one was after him he
deliberately jumped from the
moving train. At Holbrook he
was unable to give any account
of himself, but a ticket found on
him showed that his rame is Dr.
I. H. Kuhlman and he was on
his way from San Francisco to
Buffalo Monday morning he
became more rational and told
an entirely different story from
that of the train men. He said
that while in California he had
the contract of standing in the
centre of the world and holding
up the four corners OF the uni
verse with his hands He was
doing his duty right manfully
when a terrible explosion took
place and an overturned noun
tain fell directly on his head.
This was rather discouraging,
and liable to drive most any
body insane for time. He claims
to be much better ernow and thinks
he will be able to take his old job
back in a few days.
