There were two prior convietions against him, one for petty larceny and | the other for grand larceny. Busch was known as “the terror of the North Beach.” He committed | | numerous robberies during the month | of August and the two to which he pleaded guilty were the holding up of Walter Young on the night of Augnst i1 at Green and Montgomery streets, { when he took from Young his coat and | {vest, $1 05 and a silver ring, and the | holding up of Frank O'Donnell, assist- ant comm-=reial editor of The Call, on | | | the night of August 14 and taking ! from him $1 50 and a pocket knife. In i the Young robbery he had as a com- panion Joe Luperoni, who pleaded guilty when arraigned and was sen- | tenced to serve ten years in San Quen- | tin. Among the other people held up by | Busch were Alonzo.Trueworthy, pro- | | prietor of the Palace baths, on the night {of August 8, and John Malatesta. a | | baker, on the night of August 12. Busch was captured in the early morning of | up Michael | Montgomery ! August 14 while holding Clarity and his wife on avenue. Busch is a comparatively, | and is looked upon by the police as vne | of the most desperate characters com- | ing under tkeir observation.

R. Holden, Insane Soldier, Jumps From Train En Route | and 'Is Instantly Killed | FOR THOMA MANILA | —— Army Transport Will Be Readyi to Depart on the First Day of the XNew Year At RS Private Charles R. Holden, an insane soldier, while being taken frcm the Pre- sidio to the East jumped through a window of the car in which he was confined and was instantly killed. It has been the custom at the Pre- sidio to retain the insane patfents at the post until the number amounts to ten or twelve. They are then sent on to the Government asylum at St. Eliza- beth, D. C., in charge of a commis- cned officer and a guard of enlisted ! In the present instance Major W. P. Kendall, the commanding officer of the | United States General Hospital, was | about to make a trip East to select | the surgical apparatus for the new pa- vilion and decided that he would take charge of the afflicted patients himself. A special car was chartered, and Major Kendall, with the ten insane and a guard of nine enlisted men, started on Journey Saturday, December 5. Among the insane prisoners was Pri vate Holden of the Twenty-seventh In- fantry. All went well until the third day. when Holden, who had been suffering apparently from only a mild case of dementia, quietly got up from his berth | at 4 o'clock in the morning, dashed past the guards who were on watch, | made a frantic run for one of the car windows and leaped out into the dark- ness ¢f the morning. The train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour and Holden's death was instan- taneous. No blame was placed on either Cap- tain Kendall or the-guards under hi command, as the strictest watch pos sible had been maintained over the un- | fortunates in their charge. Major Duval announced yesterda that the transport Thomas would leave For the last week it has been a question whether the Thomas or the Sherman would be the next ship to sail for the Philip- pines. Since the Thomas arrived in port a big gang of men has been at work on her to repair the damage that was wrought by the terrific typhoon she encountered in the China Sea, which practically demolished the greater part of her forward upper works. Her re- pairs are row nearly completed and she will be in first class shape to sail on New Year's day. Major General Wade of the headquar- has issues the following circular: “The following holidays will be ob- served as such in this dlvision and ak | military duty, except the necessary guard and field duty, will be suspended: New Year's day, January 1; anniver- | sary of the birth of Washington, Feb- ruary 22; Memorial day, May 30; Inde- | first Monday in September: Thanksgiv- | ing day, the last Thursday in Novem= ber; Christmas day.

Woodworth yesterday the suit of the United States against Samuel Oliver Holmes was dismissed by Judge de Haven. | Holmes was surety for $200 on the revenue bond of Tom Hing. Suit was brought in 1895 to recover on the bond and Holmes has succeeded in compromising with the Government for $50. ——ee———— Tsoucas Gets Fourteen Months.
