FARMERS SHOW FIGHT.
Patrolling the Telephone Lines Night and
Day Between Poysippi and Tustin.


Pine River, Wis, Sept. 22.-About 100
farmers are patrolling the telephone line
between Poysippi and Tustin night and
day and serious trouble will ensue if the
Wisconsin Telephone company renews
the attempt to cut down the poles along
the line. The farmers are determined to
defend the property and are backed by
advice from prominent Oshkosh attor-
neyS.
When it was learned that the telephone
company had abandoned the line and
were about to remove its poles, parties at
tempted to buy the lease or use the poles
to erect a private line, but the company
would not consider their propositions. On
the LIST of August the telephones were
taken out. the wire taken down and
number of poles cut down, the statement
being that the line was abandoned.
Dr. Ii. A. McWain and John Boyson
then purchased material and erected new
lines, using what poles were standing, fill
ing in with new ones After the line had
been working a short time, a man came
out from Milwaukee and began to re-
Tustin line was reached, when
he was denied the right to cut
down the poles. This line of poles was
purchased and set by the farmers along
the route, and it is said the Wisconsin
right of way previous to stringing their
wires.
The crew returned to Berlin and Nc
Vain & Co. telephoned to the Wisconsin
company that if they would give them
a weeks time to place new poles to their
satisfaction they would reimburse the
telephone company for time lost.
This offer was rejected, and that
night the same crew went up
from Berlin and commenced cut
O'Clock the projectors learned of their
action and notified the farmers by driv-
ing along and calling them out. About fiji
ty farmers gathered and overlook the
telephone companys men, who became
so badly frightened that they took to
the woods and were with difficulty found
and told they could return. for the farm
ers were not going to lynch them. The
crew has succeeded in cutting about four
miles of poles They returned to Berlin.
They made another attempt the next day
with small success.
McWan & Co. have now in operation
lines from Poysippi to Auroraville. Pine
River and Tustin and will soon be in Ber
lin and probably Waupaca. A company
for the purpose of building a line from
Berlin to Wautoma via Pine river has
been organized recently under the name
of the Waushara County Telephone COM
pany. If they build they will run par
alel to the line now in operation for eight

Inc crime was not discovered for several
days after it was committed and in the
meantime Nelson had fled. He displayed
