Col. Charles II. Ketchum. a promi-

arrested this morning on a complaint
sworn out by Commissioner Charles
X. Holmburg of health and civic
beauty. in which Colonel Ketchum is
charged with disturbing the peace by
calling the health commissioner some
red hot" names. Colonel Ketchum
was tried before Mayor Todd. was
found guilty and fined So and costs.
Attorney S. n. Wheeler. representing
the defendant, announced that he
would appeal the case.
The affair was the result of the
wayward wanderings of rabbit be-
longing to Mr.. Holmburg's son. Har-
old, Mr.. ketchum resides three
doors from the city commissioner
and the rabbit, it seems, got into
his garden patch and devoured some
toothsome vegetables and flowers
Mr.. Holmburg Went to the Ketchum
home early this morning to get the
bunny and Mr.. Ketchum charges that
he demanded the animal in no un-
certain tones of voice. AT this juno
ture the colonel admits that he let
fly some invectives and shortly after
wards the city commissioner left.

do with n man using such language.
The warrant was subsequently serv-

The appeal to the county court will
be heard in few weeks. Colonel
Ketchum is one of the real old-tim-
ers of the city. and he has never had
any trouble with his neighbors. and
naturally regrets fne occurrence, but
feels that he was not to blame, as
he was not the aggressor and simply
defended his rights.

Governor Odells testimony was

that contribution for the New York

crisis in it's history as a result OF its
lack of funds to pay pensioners. The
San Francisco agency has a balance

This condition is due to the delay
of congress in passing the pension
appropriation biz. Two hundred
thousand pensioners are left unpaid.
Practically all the regulars at the
army posts in the United States are
in the same boat. They have received
no pay since June l. This situation
Is caused by the delay in passing the

has been exhausted since May. and
the war department was depending
on the deficiency bill for more mon
ey. The army bill is to be acted on
in the senate and will go to con-
