On Thursday night at benefit

was had, although it was quite
stormy, which kept many from
attending from a distance.
Friday, the 25th, the Thompson
Electric moving pictures showed
here to fair house. 1t could be

lacked touch and manipulation.
Saturday night the children
aided by the teachers of the district
school, gave an exhibition of their
talent which reflects great credit
ON the teachers for the great
patience they have displayed i'll
training them and the expense they
went to to get the beautiful
costumes, some of them coming from
Cripple Creek, Colo. at the expense
of the teachers. The play of Uncle
Sam and his many guests represent
ing two from the following different
lands; England, Scotland, Ireland,
Norway, Spain, Alaska, Turkey,
China and Japan, each dressed in
the costume of the country they
represented. Also the scene in
Cinderella and the fairy godmother
with her troups of twenty-five
pretty little fairies all dressed in
white concluding with farce Ell
titled Little Sins and Pretty
Sinners. 1t would be hard to
discriminate, but the beautiful
singer, Miss Mary Whittle as
Cinderella was charming, also the
acting of Master Ward Reynolds as
clown and an Irish gentleman, and
Miss Iva Harris as All Irish lady,
were all good. The principal, Mrs.
F. Roskelley and Miss Shaw and
Miss Nora Moore have had q
stupenduous task to prepare and
keep in training the many boys and
girls for the entertainment and they
have won the good will and love
of the children and people of thi:
place for the many good traits ant
the earnest labor in behalf of oul
children during the past winter
and we say, let us have you al
again, teachers in our school
Would that you could stay with u

TWIN GROVES.

A townsite has recently beer
layed off here and steps have been
taken towards establishing voting
precinct between now and election
time next fall. Every preparation
for a post Office has been made
except deciding on post master.
J. J. Willard expects to build a
store and put in stock OF merchan-
disc, which will probably decide
the postmaster question.
Another very important problem
we have to solve, is the removing
of the location of the school house
site to come within the city limits.
1t is not at all probable that many
of the citizens will insist upon
erecting building of any inn
portance outside of the town limits.
If we cannot make the change,
good idea would be to put up a suit
able building with as little expense
as possible on the site before decided
upon and let the matter drop for the
time being. Arrangements have
been made to change the county
road to go around by the church
passing through the town and run-
ming north and connecting with the
present county road Just west of
Mr.. Laws house. The canal has
been bridged and all work that can
be done until the frost is out of the
ground when the work will be com
pleted and the travel turned that
way.

Died From Drug Taken
to Cause Abortion.

Dot Shepard died Monday morn
ing about 8 O'Clock at the home OF
Mrs. Garner of South St. Anthony,
where she was taken Saturday the
26th, from the Green House. She
came here from Idaho Falls about
the first Of this month and went to
the famous Green House. She was
about eighteen years of age Her
home was near Bingham Junction,
Utah. Death was caused by "a
dose of ergot taken for the purpose
of causing an abortion.
Shortly after the arrival OF Miss
SHEPPARD in ST. Anthony, young
man appeared on the scene who
gave his name as Benjamin Dumont,
who. it is said, was living with the
deceased at the Green House, and
who, it is believed, purchased the
drug and induced Miss Sheppard
to take it. Dumont said he was
from Kemmerer, but shortly after
his arrival here he received a
trunk from Salt Lake City.
The old cook at the Green House,
Mrs. Nellie Smith, recently from
Shoshone, appears to know more
in regard to the case than any one
else. She says the young woman
was about six months with child
and that she tried to prevent ne1
from taking the drug purchased by
Dumont, stating that it would likely
Kill her. Dumont, it is claimed,
procured the ergot in St. Anthony
on the 18th and the girl took II
