A QUEER CHARACTER
JOE SEVINSKI. A WANDERER,
GETS FIVE YEARS SENTENCE
LAST THURSDAY.

District Attorney Brindley, Sheriff
Miller and Attorney Lincoln, all OF
Richland Center, came to Lancaster
last Thursday morning bringing with
them a young Austrian named Joe Sc
vinski, who has been confined in the
Richland county Jail since the early
part of July. Sevinski, it may be re-
membered, is the young man who at
tempted a Jail delivery during the
sheriff's absence several weeks ago.
He was unsuccessful, although in
making a pipe wrench from some
pieces of chain and broom handle
with which he was able to unscreW
gas pipe outside the cell and use the
last for lever to pry his way through
the cell door and corridor to a Win
dow where he was caught, he display
ed considerable ingenuity. Sevinski
was charged with having entered three
saloons and a butcher shop at Lone
Rock on June &c. although the name OF
George Fries, one of the prOprietors,
was the only one mentioned in the
complaint.
Sevinski created somewhat of sur
rise in court by maintaining that he
was not guilty OF the charge made
against him although he had been
brought here to plead guilty. Instead
he insisted that he had taken the
money away from two men IN Doxcar
at the point of gun. He was IN
formed by the court that this last was
a more serious matter than the bur-
glary charge and liable to a longer
sentence. He seemed not to under
stand the import of the courts words
and kept insisting that he was guilty
of holdup, and that he had taken the
money so that he could give it to the
rightful owners.
After another conference with his
attorney, Sevinski pleaded guilty to
the burglary charge and was given
five years hard" at Waupun. He is
a native of Austrian Poland and came
to this country in 1912. He has nc
relatives in America. Sevinski acts
| like a child and the fact that he wore
wrist and leg irons seemed somewhat
rigorous except that Sheriff Miller
/ felt that the prisoner might attempt
an escape.
Sevinski is the man Sheriff Miller
/ thinks robbed the store at FennimOre
| last month and in the next two days
robbed a store at Blue river and at
tempted a robbery at Boscobel. He
was captured at Lone Rock through
! the efforts of a railroad brakeman, the
day after the robbery there. Booze
was taken from the saloons, and Sc
vinski acted drunk when captured
His booty from the saloons amounted
to about $50 and other money in his
possession is supposed to have come
from the previous robberies. He is
a queer case.

we're 70 her women. They dance and
sing in celebration Of the advent Of

her slave, Francesca d!smisses them.
Paolo has returned from Florence. He
enters. They continue reading the
story Of Guinevere together until, no
longer master Of their feelings, they
let their lips meet in long kiss.
Malatestino, Gianciotto's youngest
brother who himself cherishes guilty
love for Francesca, has discovered her
secret meeting with Paolo and betrays
them to Gianciotto, who determines 20
find out the truth for himself. Accord
ingly. he lies in wait outside Fran
cesca's door, and, surprising her and
Paolo together at early dawn, he Stays
them both.
Ricardo Zandonai is a native Of
Sacco, in the Trentino. Born a subjcc;
Of Austria, although OF italian blood,
lie could not get passport to come 70
America to attend the first perform

tory. His first opera was "The Cricket

Then followed "Chonchita." which has
been heard here. 4 third opera is

Signor Gatti-Cs,sLza's third novelty
Of the present opera season Will 60
upon the boards for the first time next
Friday evening. The work is Ricardo
Zandonai's opera, "Frsneesca da
Rimini," which received its first per
Torrance at Turin on February 49,
1914, and was given at Covent Garden,
London, on July 16 Of the same year.
A learned student Of things operate
has discovered that no less than seven
teen operas have been written or the
story OF the loves OF Francesca ana
Paolo, two OF them being by Goetz ana
Ambrose Thomas. Despite the evident
suitability Of the theme for musical
treatment, none Of these works seemed
10 have enjoyed any substantial popu-
larity. The present opera is written 20
The libretto Of Gabrielle d'Annunzio,
edited for the purpose Of the opera by
Tito Riccordl. The drama Is well
known in America through It's per-
Torrance by Eieanora Duse and also by
the admirable translation made By Ar
thur Symons. The story of Francesca
ia Rimini is only barely sketched in
legend, but Dante in his famous passage
on the lovers has expanded the tale and
set the standard for ell future works.
The story as given by DAnnunzio is az
follows:
For reasons of state, Francesca,
daughter OF Guido da Polenta, is 70 be
married to Giovanni, known as GiAnci-
otti the Lancaster, son Of Malstes.a ds
Verrucchio. Blu, as Francesca would
probably refuse 20 marry the lame and
doformed Gianciotto, she is introduced,
By means of a wel!-la;d plot, to his
handsome younger brother, Pao.o,
known as II Bello. Francesca falls
deeply in love with him and he with
her. although they 90 not exchange q
word.
A fight is IN progress between tho
Guolfs and Ghibellinos, and on The
platform of tower OF tho Malatesti
Francesca, now married TO Gisnciotto,
meets Paolo and gently reprosehes him
FOR tho fraud praetised on her. He
protests his innocence Of the plot and
reveals his passion for her Gisnei-
otto brings the news Of Paolo's election
rs Captain Of the People and Commune
OF Florence. Psolo departs for Flor
ence.
In hor apartment Francesca IS read
ing ths story Of Lsneelos and Guine.
