REDWOOD CITY, CAL, October 9.-At
yesterdays session of the Board of Super,
visors w. F. Shelley applied for a fran.
chise to operate system of telephone line:
throughout San Mateo County. The appli.
cation will lie over for one month under
the rules. 1t is believed that the franchise
will then be granted.
Mr.. Shelleys idea is to establish a local
telephone exchange at Redwood City and
then connect all the towns on both the
bay and coast side of the county as speed
lily as possible. He has already been
granted telephone privileges by the Town
Trustees of Redwood City.
Under the new plan proposed the sub
scriber win buy his telephone outright for
$40 and 81 25 per month for the full local
service, and can use the telephone as often
as desired.
The local telephone service is badly
needed. This is especially true as regards
its use by the county officials, the town
fire department and other interests.

A comical incident OF the civil war is
related by Gen. j. D. Imboden, an ex-
confederate commander, in recent

town Of Hancock and possessed them

stringent command that no officer or
man should enter house at Hancock,

A STORY OF CHlCKAMAu0A.

The Soldiers Secret, Which Was Hidden
b Thirty Years In the Heart of a Tree.
Thirty years ago a soldier in the bat
tie of Chickamauga sought hiding
place. 1t was not for himself that he
wanted protection. The shells were
shrieking. The boom of the cannon
and the rattle Of the musketry were
almost continuous. Sulphurous smoke
was so dense in the glades that, look
ing upward, one could not see the tops
OF the tall pines In such surroundings
the soldier thought not of his own
safety. He sought a place which
would conceal his chief treasure
something that, whatever might hap
pen to him, he hoped might not come
into another's possession. Near the
bottom Of one Of the large forest trees
solid shot had torn a gaping wound.
Into that, as far as it would go, the
soldier tucked his precious property.
Some time before the battle ended a
shell dropped into the top of the big
tree and exploded. The effect was ter.
