William P. Lindsay, of San Francisco,
who has been visiting his brother at No.
600 Yesler avenue. became violently insane
last evening and as an extreme measure
was removed to the county Jail. He has
not been in his right mind for some time,
but last night was the first time that he
became violent. During the evening two
men had all they could do to keep him
from numbering his brother and the fam
lily. When the case was reported to Capt
Hogle he went to the house and found the
state of affairs had not been exaggerated.
Lindsayswas In a violent state and told the
captain that he was worth 81, 600 600 and
that his brother was trying to murder him.
After some trouble he was gotten into the
patrol wagon and on the way to the county
Jail put in his time by calling Jailer Shee-
han names. Lindsay has family in San
Francisco. He is 40 years old.

BRACKLE HELD FOR TRIAL.
The Accused Slayer OF StrassneF Sti
In Jail-HiS Defense.

The Accused Slayer Of Strassner Still
In Jail-His Defense.
J. C. Brackle, the miner charged with
killing Nicholas Strassner at Gilman the
night of the election, was arraigned yes
terday before Justice Won Tobel for pre-
fiminary hearing and bound over to the
superior court in bonds Of $4,000. The
hearing occupied the greater part of the
day, and gave occasion for several lively
discussions between Prosecuting Attor-
ney Miller and the defendants attorney,
Samuel II. Piles. The court room was
filled with interested listeners, the major
ity of whom were from Gilman.
Brackle. the accused, occupied chair in
the center of the room. and was very
calm but interested individual. He was
dressed plainly but neatly. and had been
shaved and had his hair cut. His appear
ance is not of the desperate type, but his
eyes indicate determined man. His hair
is dark with now and then streak of gray,
and his mustache is iron gray, dropping
slightly.
When the charge was read to him he
plead mot guilty." The prosecution then
commenced its case and introduced seven
witnesses, whose testimony was in general
accordance with the facts as published in
the PosT-INTELLIGENcER At the time Of the
inquest. The line of the defense as indi.
Gated at the hearing seemed to be that,
whether or not Brackle did the shooting,
he was acting in selt-defense or protecting
the life of his friend, John Dobson, who
was attacked by the Italians. Attorney
Piles did not introduce any witnesses on
his side, but confined himself to a vigor.
Gus cross-que,tioning of those introduced
by the prosecution. He brought out the
point that there was lack of definite tes-
timony to show that Brackle did the
shooting, although he was found with a
revolver in his hand.
At the conclusion Of the case Justice
Won Tobel said that no evidence had been
introduced to show that the defendant did
not do the shooting and. in view of the
evidence introduced, bound the prisoner
over to the superior court, fixing his
bonds at $4,000. Attorney Piles made q
plea against the large amount of the bond,
but did not succeed in having it lowered,
SO Brackle was taken back to the county
Jail. Ii is very likely that the bond will
be furnished, as Dobson, the man whom
Brackle beiriended, is worth considerable
money and will do all he can to help the
prisoner.

THE CONCERT FOB CHARITY.

Well Rendered Programme by Ladies'
Musical Club to Crowded House.
Not a single feature was lacking to tho
success of the charity concert given last
evening by the LADIES' Musical Club at
the First Methodist Episcopal church for
the benefit of the Bureau of Associated
Charities. A programme Of unusual ex-
cellence was carried out without jar be-
fore fashionable audience that not only
filled every seat, but left little standing
room.
The opening number Of the evening was
an organ solo, q nocturne from Chaplin,
given in splendid style by Mrs. W. II.
White. She followed this with Whitney's
majestic professional March," Mrs. G..
A. C. Rochester gave q brilliant rendition
of Ricci's "Voi Nitrate" with flute obli-
cato by Mr.. Joseph Shipper. Mrs. Frank
Black gave two numbers ON the piano
"Murmuring Zephyrs," by Jensen, and
Vogrich's "Staccato Caprics"-in fine
style. Miss Atkins, Mrs. Pratt and Mrs.
Kings vocal trio, Evening"" by Lucan-
toni, was full of merit. A violin selection
from Grieg, "Allegretto Quasi Andantino,"
by Miss Arthur, was extremely artistic.
Miss Compton's rich contralto voice was
never heard to better advantage than in
her rendering of "Once Again." by Paul
Ambrose.
The second half of the programme
opened with Mozart's ''Trio No. 5 in G
Major-Allegro -Andante - Allegretto, !"
with DR.. NJ. White friedrich at the violin,
Prof George Backmann the vloloncello
and DIR. +. s. Palmer the piano. Miss
Roper's vocal solo, "La Forosetta," by
Arditi, was finished performance. Miss
Calhoun gave Mendelssohn's "Opus IS"
upon the piano with exquisite expression.
The duet of Prof. and Mrs. Crandau, IL Es-
tasi," by G. Alary, was given in splen-
did style and expression. The piano duet
of the Misses Cheal with two pianos was
fine Interpretation of Mendeissohn's "Ca-
priccio Brillante."
The entertainment closed with vocal
selections by the st. Cecilia Quartette.
consisting of Miss Atkins. Mrs. Rochester,
Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. King. They first
sang "Sparrows Twitter." by Otto, then
40, Hush Thee, My Baby" by Sullivan,
and wound up with humorous selection,
"Jack and Jill" by Cramer.
Every number on the programme called
forth deservedly enthusiastic applause,
but in accordance with the announcement
on the printed programme, there were no
encores.
The concert will net handsome sum
for the bureau.

ROBBED ON A TRAIN.
vaccination Costs a Railroad
Lab0rer $500.
ALioHT.FiNoERED THIEF'S HAUL
He Lulls His Victim Into Security,
Seises His Money and Escapes
Through the Crowd.

A bold and successful robbery was per
petrated on board the Lake Shore train
from Snohomish at Ballard last evening at
about O'Clock, by which q Great Northern
laborer lost $500.
Andrew Mikalson has been working on
the Great Northern track grading north OF
snohomish, and yesterday cashed his
time check and started for Seattle with
$4OO in bills in an inside pocket. The car
was crowded and q stranger sat beside
him and entered into conversation with
him, AZ Re supposed. to pass away the
time. When the train reached Ballard it
was boarded by the Seattle deputy health
officers, who began vaccinating. Mikal-
son was reached few minutes before the
train was due to leave, and, as the officer
was getting ready to vaccinate him, the
stranger jumped up and said:
II will help you."
He grabbed hold of Mikalson's coat, and.
in doing SO, brought to view the money in
his inside pocket. With a lightning-like
movement he secured it in his grasp. and
before the astonished victim could speak,
was on his way to the door.
Mikalson yelled and confusion followed,
but luck favored the daring thief. The
tram was unoer way ana ne naO jumper
from the cars and disappeared around q
building.
The case was reported to Officer Sam
Corbett when the train arrived in Seattle,
and he was sent to Ballard at once to en-
deavor to trace the robber, but at last &C.
counts had not succeeded in finding him.
Mikaison described the man as being Of
medium height, dark complexion and
weighing about 140 pounds. He wore
dark clothes and a SLOUGH hat 1t is
thought that he knew Mikalson had the
money and followed him from Snohomish
for the purpose of robbing him at the
first opportunity.
At 1870 this morning Mikalson called
at police headquarters and told Capt. Will
lard that the man who robbed him was at
the New Zealand lodging house. Jailer
Sheehan accompanied Mikalson to the
house and the latter pointed out Eric
Anderson, Swede, as the man who had
taken his money. Anderson was taken to
the station and searched, but no money
was found on him. He was held to await
further Investigation.
