Seattle, Dec. 29. Mose Gold
smith, theatrical booking agent and
owner of the Strand Theatre of this
city, was held up in a room of the
Lincoln hotel, one of the most fash
ionable hostelries in Seattle, this af
ternoon, by a man wha gave his
name as Burke, and was made to
pay over $2,7s0. It was' one of the
boldest and beat planned trickB ev
er turned in this uty.
Yesterday Goldsmith received a
telegram call from Burke, who stat
ed that he had a business proposi
tion to make. A meeting was ar
ranged in an uptown office. Burke
said he was from Butte, Mont., and
owned a half interest in the Miner
of that city. He said be had $18,
000 to invest and would like to buy
an interest in Goldsmith's theatri
cal business. He showed what par-
pooried to be a draft on the Butte
Miner for that amount. Goldsmith
eaid he would sell htm an intorest
in his two vaudeville theatres in
this city for that amount. It was
agreed that Goldsmith should have
the papers drawn up by his attor
ney. .
Today Goldsmith received a tel
ephone call from" Burke from the
Lincoln h tel, asking him to come
up and talk over the dfa'. Gold
smith aud an employe camedCohen
went up, going to a room on the
top floor. Tbey were met by Burke
who stated that he wished to talk to
Goldsmith personally. Cohen went
to the office, and Goldsmith re
mained with Burke. The first thing
the latter did after Cohen left was
to tell Goldsmith to read a letter
lving on a table in the room. This
Utter stated that Burke needed $2,
750 very badly and if Goldsmith
did not "come through" with that
amount his head would be shot off.
Goldsmith turned to his companion
and loosed down tne barrel 01 a
Colt's revolver.
"Write out a check for this
amount, commanded Burke, "and
send the hotel clerk to tbebank for
the money, $506 in gold aad the
balance in $100 bills. "
Goldsmith did as told and called
up Cathier Lane of the Scandinavian-American
bank to say that the
check whs all tight and to pay the
same as directed. The hotel clerk.
F. R. Fleming, was' called to the
room, Burke keeping Goldsmith
covered and shielding the gun from
Fleming s sight. After Fleming had
gone, Burke told Goldsmith to ord
er drinks for two, which he did,
aad after the cleik returned with
the money he ordered "two more,
for which he made Goldsmith pay.
rGcaetiBg tne money, rnr&e in-
torroea uoiasmiin tnat ne was a
gentleman and shook hands with
him. He also said he would not
tak Goldsmith's diamonds. He
Then made Goldsmith go into
the bathroom and warned him to
make no outcry for 15 minutes. He
then locked the doer and left. At
ter waiting lor about ten minutes
Goldsmith began yelling and at
tracted the attention of a woman in
the next room. The porter was
sent for aud Coldsmith - liberated.
The police was notified at once
and detectives placed on the case.
Goldsmith describes Burke as being
of medium height, and fairly well
dresBed - His -hair -and' mustache
were jet black and his eyes light
bine, which causes Goldsmith
to think he- was disguised. Two
trains of the Great ' Northern and
Northern Pacific left the city at 4
o'clock and the police believe he
oanght one or the other. The po
lice along the lines of both roads
have been notified of' the holdup
ana as&eu 10 eearcn an trains.
Cashier Lane of the Scandinavian
bank i telegraphed . 'to Butte and
learned that no such man as Burke
has any interest whatever in the
Miner. Chief Delaney says it is
the cleverest piece of woik in the
history of the department.

nection with Oregon land frauds, is

the two government witnesses.
Pater and McKinley, also under
indictment, but promised immuni
ty if they would turn government's
evidence, will be here for the trial.
It is : stated that theee witnesses
have not disappeared so far as the
government is concerned, but it is
admitted that they have evaded the
authorities of Oregon, where they
are wanted for violation of state
laws. ' .
The interior department has been
advised that Representative Her
mann will seek to avoid trial on the
ground that he is a member of Con
gress and not amenable for trial
during such service, but the depart
ment has 00 doubt of its ability o
bring about a speedy trial.

There are two accepted
playing the piano today:
1. By band.
1. By the Pianola.
Both of these methods are united
in the Pianola. You can turn from
one method to the other immediate
ly. The pianola is built into the
piano itself, bo that there is nothing
to move up to or away from the
keyboard.- Both piano and piano
la are just as effective aB though in
Beparate instruments. 1 ' '
Never has a piano been represent
ed to the public which has met with.
such a remarkable and enthusiastic
reception as the Pianola Piano. Its
great success was to be expected,
for it represents the logical develop
ment of the piano. It enables eve
ry one to obtain from a piano ALL
the musical enjoyment the instru
ment is capable of. In the light of
this important improvement in pi
ano construction, all previous pian
os seem incomplete. Hence the Pi
anola Piano has become universal
ly known as "The First Complete
riano.
Pianos of all makes taken in ex
change for the Pianola Piano,
Grands and uprights in excellent
condition, aud bearing the names of
the highest grade of manufacturers,

payment. That people everywhere
should part with instruments which
they have hitherto valued highly,
is impressive evidence of the posi
tion that the Pianola Piano has at
tained among music-lovers. It is
THE piano of the day. -'" ' '
If you have a piano from which
you derive comparatively little mu
sical enjoyment why not exchange
it for this new type of piano, which
will be a daily source of pleasnre
for every member ' of tbe' family?
Write for terms on which such ex
change will be made.
Pianola Pianos are sold only by
Eiler's Piano House, Portland, Or.,
and through its many stores and
representatives. '
The people of this vicinity will
undoubtedly be pleased to know
that any further information con
cerning the Pianola Piano, Piano
las, Pianos, Organs, etc., can be ob
tained from Profeesor Taillandier,
director of the piano department of
Corvallis Agricultural College, and
can be seen at his residence on Col
lege Hill on Saturday and every
evening of the week. A telephone
