Roy Hawks, the young son of a
homesteader living near Owanka, had
a remarkably narrow escape from be-
ing torn to pieces by the blades of a
disc on Wednesday. While riding on
the disc, which was being drawn by
horses, he lost his balance and fell to
the ground directly in front of the
wheels. The fact that the ground
was soft was all that saved him from
being cut to death. When persons
nearby rushed to his assistance it was
found necessary to raise the disc by
hand in order to release him from his
position under the machine.

Royal Welcome Home for
Utah Accomplished Pianiste

When Miss Sybella Clayton arose
from the piano, at the close of last
nights recital in the Salt Lake thea
ter, her audience seemed ready to agree
that she was the greatest pianist Utah
ever turned out And this may be said
without any depreciation of the abili-
ties of Profs. Shepherd Coop, McClel-
Ian, Pedelsen or any other OF the
many promising local artists who have,
done their full share in giving to Salt
Lake and Utah its remarkable musical
prestige. The audience was loath to

fact, no one rose to leave.

their work smoothly and we'll, the fin

being specially noticeable. These art
lists are always welcome, particularly
for their efforts to reach into the high
er realms of chamber music Which is
coming to be more appreciated ia this
country. as the standard of musical
taste is elevated. Mr.. Smith was at
his very best in 1.-THE Pirates Song"

and fiery energy required by the sem
timent of the number. His voice was
in good tone and color. Spencer Claw

eccompanist.
Miss Clayton, the star OF the eve
ming, was received with an appreciation
that must have inspired her. And this
was not evidenced merely in applause;
there we're enough expressions of appre-
citation in floral terms, to require
some minutes to hand up over the foot

one but great artist could have
played that program as she did last
evening, with such grace and unaffect-

she could have given several additional

than the one given last night No

persisting, conscientious. determined
student was very manifest from the
opening movement OF the Grieg Sonata.
Every move came as though with UNI
conEciouis effort, without prenfadita-
ton, something which always puts an
audience at its case and in a receptive
mood free from apprehension of posi-.
bic mistake or disaster. There did not
seem to be any limit to Miss Clayton's
technical powers, no matter what might

evidenced in the sixty-fourth allegro
octaves of the Rubinsten Staccato
Etude, and in passages of the List

cells as n Chopin player, the sweetness

sentiment will ever appeal to the FEM

the reading of difficult scores has lost
all OF it's terrors for her, the desired
temperament, the culture is all there,
with its endless enthusiasm that knows
no obstacle in the path toward success.
And what remains now, Is the gradual
acquisition of those broad, deep powers
