vile that appeared in a recent issue of
the Spokesman Review and was subse-
Iquently copied almost verbatim in the
Wenatchee World About the only fact
contained in the item was that a salts

reporter told the story as it was told to

have been, was shockingly ignorant of
the subject.

lstrong gorilla and fearless as Il

wrench the iron bars out of the window
and break all the locks on the jail. His
uncanny. He would pick handouts ana
work off shackles. At last accounts it was
thought that the hard -to-hold stranger
had left town.

not take the initiative.
The Hawaiian entertainers that appear
ed at the Orpheum last Friday night wa:
one of the best musical organizations thai
has ever appeared in Oroville. The instru
mental features. especially the guitar ant
| banjo solos, could not be eXcelled. The
weird Hawaiian vocal music was oddly In
teresting and would probably pass a!
first class on the islands. The female
dancing that ran a good deal to limb wa:
more of afiller than an artistic production
Taken all around, however, the perform
r ance was most enjoyable, and judgins
: from the expressions of appreciation OF
the part of the unusually large audience
those rpesent were exceedingly well pleas
? ed with the program. If the troupe ever re
turns to Oroville the Orpheum will not h.
large enough to accommodate the audenc
