Police Hunting Foes
OF Gambler as Bomb
In Auto Kills Wife
By the Assoeiofed Press

DALLAS, Nov. 30.-Dallas police
hunted today for underworld
enemies who planted a bomb in
the car Of the well-known gambler.
Herbert Noble. The bomb explo-
sion yesterday killed Mobiles wife
instead. It was the fourth attempt
on the gamblers life.
The attempt against the 40
year-old gambler misf1red because
Noble had decided to use his wife's
car, instead of his own, for trip
to Fort Worth.
Mrs. Mildred Noble got into the
car about 8 am. yesterday. She
pressed the starter. The explosion
shattered the automobile and
hurled her 10 feet. crushing her
face and blowing off one foot.

The blast broke windows in the

through pine pane1ing In the front

The twisted, blackened frame Of
the car remained upright In front
Of the house. Dangling wires
showed where the explosives had
been wired to the starter.

Police authorities would say
very little on the feud between
two factions in Dallas that caused
previous attacks on Noble.
In the last attack on Mobiles
life, September 8, he received a
gunshot wound in the leg. On
May 20, 1948, his right arm was
yiddled with shotgun slugs as he
drove his car into his ranch home.
On January Is, 1916, he got a

Halted by Washout
By the Associoisd Press

STUART, Fla, Aug. 27.-At
least 500 persons were reported
left homeless here today by the
pounding Atlantic hurricane.
Four northbound trains were
halted by a washout under a
bridge crossing the Ct. Lucie
River.
Six persons received injuries but
no deaths were recorded.

age ranged all the way from
shingles and tiles blown of roofs
to complete demolition.
An automobile repair shop was
fattened and the fronts and
backs of many buildings in the
business district were blown out.
Florida East Coast and Atlantic
Coast Line service to the north
halted here when railroad officials
reported the st. Lucie Bridge on
the eastern end of the cross State
canal unsafe. They said heavy
nd-driven rains caused a wash
out.
The Roosevelt Bridge was open
to north and sound-bound auto
mobile traffic, however.
Police said there had been no
looting as far as they knew and
planned to ask the American Le-
gion to help patrol debris Uttered
streets In front of shattered shop
windows.
Among the injured were two
children who received cuts and
bruises when winds estimated up
to $50 miles per hour slashed away
part Of their house. Three other

phones were reported out OF order.
