McKinstry, Of that city. is quoted by the
local Plain Dealer, OF December 2lst, as fol-
lows: at Is impossible" said Mr.. Mchn-

Company may enter into competition with
the Bell Telephone Company in the enter

There is quite a story, by the way, relative
"a an old light between the Western Union
and the Bell Telephone people. During the
wear lS70-S0 a contest developed between
these two companies. 10 seems that AT
Fort Wayne the telegraph company
put telephones lin different parts Of the
city. They furnished fee carrier service
20 certain parts OF the city and gave the
public very excellent service. Everything
moved along all right until the Bell COM
pany became strong competitors. Inc re-
suit was that the fight between the COM
panies waXed warmer and wa mer until a
final compromise was effected. 10y 'he
terms of this compromise the telegraph
company sold out their telephone property
10 their rivals. There was some serious
hitch in the transaction and as hnal resuii
suit was brought The suit is pending, l
think, at the present time. ana the con
struction of the new telephone line ma y
bring about renewal Of the old diihcui'
