T. P. DONAHUE

     Mr. T. P. Donahue, who for many years was known to the traveling public as
one of the most genial and courteous passenger conductors on the lines of the
International and Great Northern railroad in Texas and the Northern Pacific in
Washington, is now the sheriff of Lincoln county.  Mr. Donahue was born in
Northfield, Washington county, Vermont.  He removed from the place of his birth
at an early age to Indiana.  On attaining his majority he moved to California
and subsequently to Texas.  In 1882 Mr. Donahue arrived in Spokane, where he was
immediately appointed passenger conductor on the Northern Pacific.  Four years
later he resigned this position and settled at Davenport, where he was engaged
in buying grain.  Without solicitation on his part, Mr. Donahue received the
nomination for sheriff, to which office he was elected by an overwhelming
majority in 1893.
