INSANITY REAPPEARS IN
A MAN WHO is DRINKING
Whisky, In,bbed by Mike johnson, Who
Was in an Asylum, Drives
Him Insane.

Whisky and tendency to insanity, when
combined, are likely to produce dire re-
suits as is shown in the case of Mike
Johnson, who was arrested last night on
a charge of insanity preferred by Mat
thew Beckman, and lodged in the county
Jail
Johnson was drinking yesterday, and
Beckman told the officers that after he
had imbibed quantity of beer tendency
to insanity which once caused his in
carceration in the insane asylum re-
appeared and he undertook to thrash Beck
man and the lattcrs wife.
Johnson was quiet enough in the coun-
ty. Jail this morning, and wanted TO be
released. but he will be held probably for
an examination into his sanity.
Beckman said that Johnson struck him
and his wife i'll the mix-up that occurred
before the arrest, and he showed a cut
on his face to bear out his statement.
Johnson lives near the Pennsylvania mine.
