The telephone pole at the Berlin end of
the arch bridge was taken up during Mon
day night by unknown parties and the
wires which were not broken, were stretched
across the street so that person passing in
team must have been caught by them as
the wagon went under. If this had occurred,
serious injuries must have resulted. The
thing was evidently done out of mere devil
try, and the wonder is that it did not prove
more serious affair.
