many of the most noted entertainers
of their day, Cool White, Dick Sitter,
Holden J. Williams, G. Campbell, J.
Paul, O.P. Perry, A. Won Bonhorst,
E. F. Dixey, John L. Carncross, ]. w.
H. Lincoln, Sam Sharpley and Master
J. Sanford.
The combination was held together
virtually intact until 1860, when
Carncross and Sharpley left the COM
pany and opened up at another thea
ter.
The loss of these two favorites was
quite a blow, for Carncross was a
noted ballad singer, and Sharpley was
a great comedian. Sanford did not
do nearly so we'll without them, and
finally got into, financial troubles,
which compelled him to give up the
house.
End Man at Seventy-four.
When he did so, other capital was
quickly forthcoming to put Carncross
in charge. He returned together with
Sharpley, and the house then became
known as the home of the Carncross
and Dixey company, Dixey being the
most popular of the old members who
had remained loyal to Sanford.
In this early company is to be
found on old programs the name of
Hughey Dougherty, and it is point
of special interest that when the cur
tain fell the last time, a few weeks
ago, Dougherty, now seventy-four
years of age, was still filling the place
of end man, and arousing just as
much laughter as of yore.

bic had happened. Rushing out
into the hall, DIR. H. l.. Lowe,
house physician, saw the mangled
form of Miss Osborne lying on top
of the elevator, which was, at that
time, moving downward toward
the first floor. Jumping to the top
of the elevator, he grabbed the dead
body in his arms and held it until
the first floor had been reached. The
cage was then raised to the level of
the second floor and the body re-
moved.

last night that somethi must have
gone wrong with the mechanism
of the elevator, and just how Miss
Osborne was caught wi i'll probably

Notable Victory Scored

Latest but still incomplete returns
from rural precincts In Bannock
county indicate that the "dry" ma.
joIity as result of yesterdays local
option election will be between l 600
and 100.
Wednesdays special local option
election in Bannock county resulted
in decisive "dry" victory. Every
precinct in Pocatello voted "wet,"
and gave that side of the question a
total majority of s07. This was in
sufficient, however, to overcome the
heavy maiorities polled by the
'drys" in the country precincts.
The vote all over the county was
light, partly due to the weather and
partly to general apathy.
This comfortable "wet" majority
in the city raised the hopes of the
anti-local opt!onists, but when the
returns began to arrive from outside,
it became at once apparent that it
was merely question of how great
would be the "dry" majority. Even
Soda Springs, upon which the "wets'
depended for comfortable major
ity, voted SO to 90 In favor of the
"drys". McCammon sent in 90
''dry" majority, the vote being 90
to 1S1. Bancroft voted 1876 to 10
in favor of the ''dry" side.
