CROOK WITH A STORY
RequisitiOn Issued for Charles
Ketcham, Shrewd Criminal.
Had Interesting Adventures in Missouri
"A Kansas City Officer Comes
to Arrest Him.

A Missouri officer came here Wednesday
and secured requisition papers from Gov
ernor Matthews for a very smooth" GRIM
inal who has successfully evaded arrest for
three years. The officer is Thomas w. Her
son. of Kansas City, deputy sheriff, and
the man he is after is Charles Ketcham,
who is supposed to be living at or near
Fort Wayne under an assumed name. In
1882 Ketcham stole forty sacks of wheat
valued in all at $50, from a Chicago & AL
ton car at Kansas City, was arrested and
on Dec. IA of that year convicted of grand
larceny and sentenced to three years In the
penitentiary. After being sentenced and just
before he was to be removed to the peni-
tertiary at jefferson City Ketcham escaped
from the Kansas City jail and was never
captured. Subsequently, along about 1885,
he was arrested under another name in the
same State and sent up for five years for
swindling. He served his term and it was
never discovered until some time after his
discharge that he was Ketcham, the man
wanted for the wheat stealing years be-
fore. Deputy Herson has a complete de-
scription of the man, taken while he was
serving time under the assumed name. This
description is so minute, being made &C
cording to the Bertillon system now in gen.
eral use. that he cannot fail to identify the
right man. For three years officers have
been chasing Ketcham, and the country has
been ransacked for him. but he would al
WAYS manage TO get wind of their coming
and elude them. 1t may be the same this
time. but Herson hoped to find his Informal
ton correct and his man at Fort Wayne.
One of Ketcham'S little operations Melted
him several thousand dollars and cost a
travelling man a trunkful of diamonds and
ievelry. IL happened after his release from
the Missouri penitentiary in 1890. He met
the same seat. the two men became quite
soclable and friendly. Ketcham is a man
of good education and excellent address,
and his companion, of course, suspected
nothing of his true character. The CONVEX
sation drifted into trunks. the cost of ex-
ing the talk the men had their checks out
The travelling man dropped his on the floor
of the car and Ketcham picked ii up for

trunk. Ketchams trunk contained nothing
of value. The salesman at first thought il

Isaac Baker, of West Virginia, Buncoed
at the Union Station.

Yesterday Isaac Baker, who halls from
West Virginia, stopped at the Union Sta

He arrived i'm the city early in the morn

one. stranger. who gave his name as Mr..

going to Carthage The two sauntered out
and met third party. who claimed to be
a friend of Mr.. Mason. The pleadings Of
insufficient money to pay a freight bill in

was eluded, and he returned TO the Union
Station and made known his loss. The
sharpeFs could not be located.
Baker remained in the station the re-
matnder of the day, on account OF being
afraid of running up against another skin
game. The conductor and brakeman of the
early west-bound Peoria q Eastern train
noticed two men acting very friendly with
two passengers not accustomed TO city
ways. The trainmen watched every action
of the men so closely that the two soon
departed. 1t is supposed that the two
were the ones that afterwards relieved Ba-
ker OF MS money.

MUST NOT BE CLOSED
Food Market Necessary to Relieve
the Great Need That Exists.
Finance Committee Holds a Meeting
The Unemployed Gather and Listen
to Songs and Speeches.

The finance committee of the relief COM
mittee of the Commercial Club met yester-
day in the club assembly rooms TO discuss
the question of continuing the food merket.
Chairman Hanna explained that the con-
tinuance Of the market was a necessity If
the question of preventing hundreds of fam
lies from starving was to be considered.
The unworthy ones had been weeded out by
the work test and on last weeks books the
1854 names represented $500 needy people.
There had been over six hundred names
dropped from the rolls by this work test.
The rations have been cut down. Coffee,
sugar and fresh meats are no longer in
cluded. The cost of a ration is estimated at
q cents. 1t is estimated that the cost OF
keeping the relief work, including the Flow
er Mission and the Charity Organization So
ciety. is between s1,CDO and $1,000 a week.
The committee thinks that all bills accrued
by the first of next week can be met. The
soliciting committee which has been at
work canVassing within the last week, has
met but fair success. The committee IS
fully awake TO the direful results that will
come in case the market is closed. and it
Is the members intention to make every
effort to secure funds to continue the work.
This afternoon another meeting will be held
10 discuss the question i'm general. The
meeting is open to all persons interested in
relief work.
