"Aida" Presented
! With Rappold il,
Role of Princess

"AIDA" was presented by the
San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany at Polls Theatsr last night.
opening a weeks engagement of
the company in Washington.
The title role was sung by
Marie Rappold. guest artistic.
with full appreciation of Verdi's
creation. She brought to the
part a distinctive sense of inter-
probation. portraying the royal
Ethiopian hostage, half-defiant.
half-fearful. with rare insight
and repression.
Rappold's voice was flawless
and Of well-centrolled power, and
her enunciation was perfect.
Manuel Salazar. as Radames,
entered his character with en-
thusiasm and enveloped his per-
formance in majesty. His sing
ing, as well as Rappold'sr brought
great waves of wholehearted sp-
plause.
Richard Bonelli appeared as
Amonasro, and his rendition was
enhanced by his fiery verve in
the part Of the barbarous mon.
arch Of Ethiopia. Servi. as the
King, and Pietro De Biasi, as
the High Priest Ramfis, afforded
remarkably melodious and sonor-
Gus bases.
OF especial note was the gen.
orally excellent work of tie
chorus. Aida" of all operas. can
most readily be ruined by a
lackadaisical and unintelligent
chorus.
The triumphal welcome. Of
course. was the climax. BY this.
the audience realized. "Aaid"
would rise or fall. Whatever
fears may have stirred we're
quickly laid to rest by the Wig
oorus warmth accorded this criti-
cal scene by the principals and
ensemble.
Aida" has been sung and sung
and sung. Opera companies and
the general run of opera lovers
class 1t high among their fav-
orites. 1t is admirably adapted
for a premiere.

WIN FAST
BASKETBALL
GAME
Referee Refuses to Announce
Decision in Favor
of Leans

The Elks won. That was the verdict
of f. l.. Massey, high school basket
ball referee, who presided over a game
played by the fat and lean Elks Of
Grangeville, in the high school gym
nasium, Tuesday night, for benefit of
the high school athletic association.
Receipts were $101.20, which was
applied toward meeting the deficit i'll
the athletic association treasury, and
pulled the association out of the red.
The leans made all the baskets save
one, and in reality won the game, said
careful observers, but Mr.. Massey,
fearing to incur the disfavor of the
fats by declaring the leans victorious,
limited his announcement by saying the
Elks won. All the leans were Elks.
So were the fats.
Lineup of the leans was j. Y.
Safely, captain; Charles r. Campbell,
f. w. Miller, William Ingram and Sam
Jones, with Glib Eimers substitute.
Fats lineup was John P. Eimers,
captain; Harold Harris, A. j. Maugg

substitute.

He was returned to his cell in
the county jail, Thursday noon.
Brown was in the county Jail await
ing trial in district court on a charge
of raping Jennie Strine, his 15-year-
old stepdaughter, at Kamiah.
THOUGHT IN CELL
Tuesday night the three prisoners in
the Jail were supposed to have been
locked in their cells at s o clock by Ira
Smith, night jailer. Mr.. Smith, cal
ed to the prisoners at 8, and asked
them whether all were in their cells.
Each answered in the affirmative. He
then locked the cells by a mechanical
device operated from the outside of
the bull pen and retired to his room
off the sheriff Is office.
Brown, it was afterward learned,
was not in his cell when he answered,
but was at the rear of the cell He
thrust his head near the cell bars, so it
would appear to the jailer that he was
in his customary place.
After the jailer had retired, and
Brown felt positive he was asleep, he
took pieces of firewood and pried apart
the bars of the prison. He disrobed,
threw his clothing to the outside,
creased his chest, aud forced himeslf
through the aperture. He then dressed,
walked through the sheriff IS office to
the outer door and fed.
DISCOVERED AT
Brown S fight was not known until
6 a. M, when Jailer Smith arose. He
Immediately spread the alarm Tele-
phone messages were sent broadcast.
Soon the sheriff s office was advised
by farmers that a man had been seen
walking in the road northeast Of
Grangeville. Sheriff Eimers and Depu-
Ties Rothwell and Arnold took UP the
search, each following a different road.
Men from Sites were deputized over
the telephone. They started toward
Grangeville.
Brown s tracks were discovered in
the fresh snow They were followed in
to Luke's gulch, and then up to the
divide which separates the gulch from
Three Mile canyon. Among the high
bluffs, in the breaks of Three Mile can
Won, the escaped prisoner was found by
Deputy Arnold and the two men from
Sites. At first Brown refused to hold
up his hands The command was thrice
given by Deputy Arnold. Still Brown
refused. The deputy shot and Brown
then stuck up his hands.
CHAINED TO BED
The prisoner was taken by he Off
GERS to Sites where, in the absence
Of a jail, he was chained to bed
in the hotel Wednesday night, and
was brought to Grangeville, Thursday.
Brown told Sheriff Eimers e had
merely departed from the county prison
On short visit to his family, and
that he intended to return.
Sheriff Eimers, on his arrival in
Grangeville, Thursday, said he had
been materially assisted in running
down the prisoner by the people Of
Sites, who eooperated in every posi-
BILE way with the officers.
