BAND MINSTREL

Production Staged in a Very
Artistic Manner
LOCAL BAND BOYS RECEIVE EN-.
THUSIASTIC RECEPTION.
Under Direction OF Leader Lewis,
Most Successful Show Is
Given.

The Band minstrel passed the or-'
deal of it's first performance with it's
incidental period of stage fright very
successfully and pleased an audience
which packed the Orpheum theater
Monday night. The costumes were
cleverly gotten up and far above the
usual home talent production. The
solos and the chorus parts were rem
dered with a precision and snap that
kept the audience well pleased and
made an unusually long program seem
short. The local hits and jokes were
pat and kept the crowd laughing con-
tinually.
To the end men and the interlocutor,
Messrs. Herbts, Thorp, Latterbauch,
Chaplin and G. ID. Thomas, is due large
ly the success of the show in not al
lowing a single pause in the endless
array of fun and song. "
The orchestra number by Mesdames
Regan, Sprague, Misses Alfonte and
Eckert, also greatly helped to make
success Of the first night. The trial
court presided over by Judge Reid
with makeup parts of twelve nation

NOVEL CLASS SCRAP
High School Classes to Contest in
Color Flying.

An 1nter-clasS scrap in the form OF
color flying contest has been decid-
ed upon by the class council. The
classes of the high school have enter
ed a compact whereby all forms of
class games interference or scraps
are controlled by representatives of
the classes, called the GLASS Coun-
cil." Besides the usual inter-class
games in all forms of athletics, many
desire contest where real scrap is
possible. For the last two years this
contest has been held in the form of a
'tug-of-war," but a repetition Of this
seems too tame, hence the departure
this year.
The contest for this year has been
decided upon by the council as fol-
lows: A telephone pole eighteen feet
high is to be set up with the class
banners of the Juniors, Sophmores
and Freshmen flying from the top.
The Seniors having withdrawn from
the contests this year. Each class en-
ters a team whose total weight shall
not exceed 2500 pounds. Each class
may provide it's team with eight ropes,
these to be six feet long and not less
than three-eighths-inch in size. A
circle with 200-foot radius about the
pole marks the confines Of the con-
test, and all three classes enter to-
gether First place belongs to the
class whose representative shall first
climb the pole and take down the col
ors of the other two classes. The
winning class then withdraws and the
remaining two strive to see who can
first remove the remaining colors. The
introduction of the ropes will prob
ably resolve the first part of the con-
test into tying contest. Each class
will try to tie up as many opponents
as possible to remove them from op-
position.
The contest will be staged at the
ball park next Friday afternoon al
3:45 p. m. A small admission fee
will be charged to defray expenses

CANYON CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
James P. MCMasters Falls From
RimroCk
DRUNKEN MAN DROPS THREE
HUNDRED FEET TO HIS DEATH.
Remains Lie in Bottom Of Snake River
Canyon Several Weeks Before Dis
cOyery Last Sunday.

Considerable of sensation was oc-
casiOned in this city Sunday over the
reported finding of the battered re-
mains of man below the cliff at this
end of the Perrine grade. The cor
oner's office was notified and Mr..
Crosby Immediately left for the scene.
With neck broken and nearly all of
the bones of the body in a similar
condition, face bruised from fall ana
exposure for long time to the wealth
er, with fingers of his hands stripped
clean of flesh by rodents or vultures
the remains were discovered resting
on ledge three or four hundred feet
below the rimrock upon which rests
the toll house at this end of the Blue
Lakes grade. From the marks on the
lodges above, the body had shot down.
ward, hit one ledge and bounded off
to another below only to make the
third drop to the place where it was
found From the story of the man in
charge of the toll house the body must
have lain in the canyon for at least
three weeks, but was still in condition
to render Identification fairly possi-
tive.
Papers found upon the person of
the dead man, showed two possible
identifications for grocery order
slips to the number of four or five
were found made out to l.. Thompson
by the mercantile firm of Morris-Ro-
berts Mere. Company of Bliss and
Hagerman, while with these slips was
found a receipt form made out to j. P.
McMasters.
Coroner Crosby took the statement
of the toll tender that he and his as
sistant had helped an intoxicated man
up the grade on Saturday evening
about dusk, March 21st. That night
the coal house showed evidence of
occupancy by some person and the
supposition was that the intoxicated
man had slept there and in the night
had arisen and in his wanderings
plunged over the cliff to his death.
The Identification, in doubt until to-
day because of the two names ap-
pearing in the receipts found, was
solved beyond a reasonable doubt by
the testimony of R. S. Frazer, presi-
dent of the Farmers & Merchants
bank of Jerome, who viewed the re-
mains this morning at the morgue and
was very certain that the victim was
Jim McMasters, man fairly well
known in Jerome. Positive identifica-
LlOn, however Will De ndu upon the
appearance of G. F. Massey of Jerome,
who has observed McMasters more
closely during his sojourn there.
According to Mr.. Frazer, McMasters
came here from Boston, where his
family lives and that during his stay
in Jerome INDUCED in periodical
drunks. The size, complexion and
general makeup of the victim COIN
cides with the description of McMas-
ters so that there is little doubt in
the mind of the coroner as to the
identity of the man. According to
Frazer, McMaster exhibited to the men
in his bank several Masonic receipts
showing his good standing in that or

WOULD NOT PASS PRO-
VISIONS To ALLOW LEASE
OF The ALASKAN R. R.

Washington, Jan. 23---A motion by
Senator Cumfnins to strike out of the
bin the provision permitting the Pres
ident to lease the railroad if he thought
best after construction, was defeated
Al to II, after long debate.
Debate and voting on proposed
amendments to the Alaska bill contin-
ued through the day but Senator
Chamberlain announced tonight that
he would insist upon a final vote be-
fore adjournment tomorrow. Under an
agreement the Legislative day sof Jan.
22' willi not end in the Senate until
the measure is passed upon.
The committee in charge of the bill
won its hardest fight today when the
Senate defeated the Cummins ainend-
ment, which would have made govern
ment operation of the proposed rail-
road mandatory instead fof leaving it
to the President to decide whether it
should be leased.
Virtually all Republicans who have
supported the bill voted for this
amendment. An effort by Senator Will
liams to strike out of the bill author
ity for the acquisition of any exist
ing lines was defeated 46 to 5.
