remembered by a large number of Salt
Lakers who heard her charming con-
cert given there a few seasons ago
under the auspices of the short-lived
PHILHARMONIC society, vii, next season
sing in grand opera at the Metropolitan.
To all interested in the beautiful singer,
this will be glad news, as many have
thought it great pity that such gift
ed artist should shine only in comic
opera.
Four young Salt Lakers who have
climbed high on the ladder of fame IN
New York. and of whom Utahns may
justly be proud, are those two violin
lists, Misses Sibyl Anderson and Eliza
beth Lamson, and the two artists, Clyde
Squires and George Barrat. Misses An
derson and Lamson keep tiny apart
ment on East Sixty-6fth street. Each
has a large class In the city and sub
urbs, and both play often In public,
solos and duets. They are well estab-
lished in their profession, and much In
demand for public work. Miss Carrie
Lamson, formerly of the Salt Lake
public school force, Will this spring
complete her work in Supervisor s
Manual Training at Columbia univer-
sity. She makes her home i'll Whittier
hall, at the university.
Messrs. Barrat and Squires live at 81
West Thirty-seventh street, in the heart
of the art students and studio district,
Both have already found a lucrative
market for their pictures and designs.

School rlass rleeting

A meeting of the citizens of Bam-
berg school district was held at the
court house last Monday afternoon.
The only business was the electio on of
one trustee and the fixing of the
school levy for next year. Mr.. Thos:
Black was elected to succeed himself
as trustee, and the levy was fixed the
same as last year. two mills. This,
with the three mills for the school
building bonds, makes a total of five
mills for school purposes.
We understand that steps will be
taken at once to establish a high
school department, in accordance
with the act passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, and that an
other grade will be added. We trust
this will be done, for many patrons
of the school are anxious to keep their
children at home another year instead
of having to send them away to
school.

Another Attempted Escape.

The negro, Doc Nelson, who is un-
der sentence of death for killing an
other negro last summer, has added
another attempt to his already known
efforts. He and Addison Johnson,
the negro who is being held for the
murder of M. B. Warn, are occupy
ing the same cell, and last Friday
night they were caught trying to es-
cape. Both of the negroes were
chained to the floor and locked with
Yale locks. By using a part Of a
mans garter they had succeeded in
filing both of the locks, and it would
have been only a matter of time be-
fore they would have both escaped.
1t will be remembered that three
weeks ago Nelson was caught with
his head out of the window, prepar-
ing to descend to the ground when
halted, however, only after another
negro, Ulysses May, had made good
his escape. Sheriff Hunter has the
two Yale locks in his possession and
has placed them on exhibition. The
negro Nelson evidently is a shrewd
character and seems to be desperate,
for he makes use of the smallest
thing and to great advantage.

ATTACKED BY LUNATIC.
Greenwood Police Officer Gets Blow
on Head From Shovel.

GREENWOOD, May 31.-Oficer M.
B. Chandler Of the Greenwood police
force had a narrow escape from a
fatal injury at the hands of a de-
mented man here yesterday after
noon. This man, Mr.. Fooshee, was
brought up from Plumb Branch some
days ago by his brothers and placed
in the county Jail before being sent
to the ssylum in Columbia. He had
been in the asylum twice before
this, but seemed to recover and was
released. He was with his brothers,
running a sawmill near Woodlawn,
when he again became violent and
they brought him here as above
stated. Yesterday afternoon he got
hold of a piece of iron and broke the
lock of the room in which he was
confined at the Jail and with the
same piece of iron broke the lock to
the gate of the Jail yard and thus Sc
cured liberty. Picking up an iron
shovel he walked into the sheriff s
Office and there saw C. E. Dukes,
deputy sheriff, whom he knew per:
sonally. He cursed Dukes and said
he would not be put back. Mr.:
Chandler was sent for and he and
Mr.. Dukes were attempting to get
around the unfortunate crazy man
so as to get him back to Jail when
Chandler got a terrific blow on the
head from Fooshee with his shovel.
Chandler thought he saw an oppor-
tunity to run in and grab Fooshee
around the body before he could
strike, but Fooshee was quick enough
to get in a blow, although being at
such close range it lost much of its
force. AS it was, Chandler got a
very painful and ugly scalp wound.
Fooshee was overpowered, however,
and is now in Jail. He will be sent
to Columbia at once.
