From a Car and Fell

A Breeze Carried Away His
Derby and He Wished
To Regain 1t.
An Hour AMI a Half After the Acct.
dent He Died of Conclusion of
the Brain.

Pietro Piccetti's body is at the Morgue,
victim of his own recklessness. In his
anxiety to obtain his hat, which was
waited from his head by passing breeze,
Piccettl sprang from Mission.street car
1925 while it was speeding down hill near
the Three-mile House. He was novice
in the art of swim ging from car and lost
his balance the instant his feet touched
the ground, and he fell, striking his head
heavily on the pavement.
The car could not be stopped for some
distance, but when 1t finally came to q
standstiil Frank Lagomarsini, deceased 8
employer, accompanied by +. Tyler,
the motorman, and W. Kelso, the conduc-
tor, hurried back and carried the injured
man into the drugstore at 4263 Mission
street. DR.. Tarella was summoned and
he diagnosed the case as one of conclusion
of the brain. Remedies were admins
tered, but at $3.50 P. NJ, about an hour and
half after the accident occurred, Piccetti
died.
The Coroner's office was notified, and
Deputy Coroner Hailett went to take
cha- e of the body. When he arrived Pic
cetti's brother and sister, who had been
summoned shortly after the injured m an
was removed to the drugstore, offered to
waive an inquest, stating that they had
made an investigation ana were confident
that the deceased was alone to blame for
his death. The deputy refused to accept
the waiver, however, and removed the
body to the Morgue.

HOLES DUG RY DYNAMITE
NEW TELEPHONE LINE WITHIN
A FEW MILES OF MADISON.
Madison. June 6.

Madison, June 6.
The new Twenty-Five telephone line
which the American Bell Telegraph
and Telephone company is erecting
from Chicago to St. Paul is now with
in a few miles of Madison and is go
ing forward with a rush. Three crews
of men are at work, one coming from
Chicago to Madison, one from Eau
Claire to Madison and one from ST.
Paul to Eau Claire. No new franchise
has been secured from the city and the
entrance into Madison will probably
be made over the poles the Bell COM
pany now has and the same offices will
perhaps be used. The line enters
Dane county from Milton, crossing
Rock river at Neville and thence
along the old territorial wagon road
through Albion to Utica and thence on
to Madison and from thence the short
est cross country route to st. Paul
1t represents a fine triumph of Or
ganiZatiOn that some five or six miles
day of line are sometimes erected
Poles and material are distributed in
advance of the gangs arrival and bag
gage wagons go along with the
satchels of the workmen and dis
tribute them at the farm houses
The poles are set by large gang that
keeps ahead of the rest of the party.
The holes are dug in a novel manner.
About three feet of earth is removed
when a stick of dynamite is placed in
the excavation and exploded and the
work of clearing out the bottom of the
hole is an easy matter. Farmers
along the route are making note of
this easy manner Of digging post
holes. After the poles are erected a
cable to which the wires are attached
is run over the cross arms and horses
are hitched to this and draw the wires
taut These wires are of copper and
about the size Of a lead pencil. The
men employed are experienced pole
and line men.
A good deal of speculation has been
INDUCED in as to who we're the parties
back of the American Telegraph and
Telephone company. Some reports
have claimed it was the Postal Tel
egraph company, the opposition to the
Western Union Telegraph company.
Others have said that it was an indie
pendent company in opposition to the
American Bell Telephone company
who have the monopoly Of long dis
lance telephoning.
The American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company is, however, only an
other name for the original American
Bell Telephone company, and the de-
design Of the company in constructing
this extension from Chicago to st.
Paul is to give the northwest as good
service as is now enjoyed from Chica-
go eastward. It is expected that the
lines of the Wisconsin Telephone COM
papy will be connected with the new
line for long distance purposes when
it is completed. From st. Paul the
field to the northwest can be COM
manded through the Northwestern
Telephone company which has extern
sive lines through Minnesota reaching
to Bismarck, N. D., and which uses
the Bell appliances and apparatus.
The company also has branches reach
ing into Iowa.

was that the men among the candi-

the old methods seemed hard to

will tend to put a quietus on the ten
dency among American college oars
men to ape English methods.
