aolds himself loyal to the President OF the

alage which tells us that when roglIes fall out

phase of the Pinney Burr controversy:
San Francisco, August 2. -Pnney pub
fishes a card this morning containing the
ahidavits of 0. H. Bogart and Thomas B.
Pheby, that while sitting in Pinneys Office,
in April, 1875, Pinney gave 4. W. Burr,
President of the Clay-street Saving Bank,
$500, which he explained to be on account of
commissions due Burr from Pinney for get
ting him money on Higgins navy pay certif-
cate.
This accusation, more fully interpreted,
means that Burr took grist from his own
hank-paid himself brokers' percentage on
lonns of the banks money That's the true
inwardness- if Pinney is telling the
truth, be has peached on his pa

Immediately blew his own brains out Drage
who was in business on the corner of Front

Drage was arrested on a charge of assault
and battery, on complaint of his wife. The
case has been continued from day to day. In
