Frank Meacham and family left Friday night for Idaho Falls to make their home in the future. He has been an efficient salesman for Murphey Cigar Company in store No 5 and has many friends in Pocatello who believe he will prosper in Sunnyland as he is a live wire.
The Sagehurst incident after 11 pm led to the disappearance of a locked bicycle and the editor Trego’s resignation. Frank Shields has replaced him, coming from the Blackfoot store of Murphey.
