Three Towns in Indiana Connected by
Using Ordinary Fence Wires.
One of the most novel telephone sys-
tens in the world is the "barbwire"
line, which connects the Indiana towns
of Anderson, Pendleton and ingalls,. 1t
is fifteen miles in length Its inventor,
builder and sole owner, Cassius Alley
of Pendleton, now has six subscribers
at $50 a year each. The time is not far
distance when there will be tenfold this

gals are using this barbwire system in
their business affairs exclusively. They
use the line frequently. They can con
vert it into a private line by plugs so
arranged that when one party is using
the line he can cut out all others eX-
cept in Mr. Alleys residence, which is
used as a central station. Ordinary
phones are used with no special
strength of battery and there is very
little trouble with the lines.
In constructing the line, Mr.. Alley
used the top strand of the barb-wire
fence of the Big Four railroad. making
the connections with the offices of his
subscribers with ordinary telephone
wire. In some instances where the
posts had rotted it was necessary tc
paint the wire and posts with rubber
paint to insulate the wire. This is fairly
satisfactory and puts the line in shape
to be used as we'll in wet weather as al
any other time. The inventor expect.
to put in a newly invented form of glass
insulator. which is very cheap and tn,
only one yet found that can be used OF

On this line, wagon roads are crossed
thirty-seven times and railroads sil
times. At these crossings the line Il
either carried through a gas-pipe con
duit, with insulated wire or by building
bridges. which is done by merely nail

Green Casey, convict at san Quen-

fellow convicts at the prison for the
novel contrivance he has invented III
order to make his escape from the prs
on walls some time ago, and through
Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara County
the story has leaked out.
Casey was a kind of trusty arounu
the prison grounds. and while WorAins

he would like to escape, and was De-
ginning to tax his mind as TO the must
advantageous way to suit his purpose
As he was strolling around on the green
grass which grows in abundance arounu
the prison an idea struck him thal Il

Nicolas Bargeve, alias The Devourer,"
had determined to make a professional
call at NJ. Duchesne's apartment with
intent to burgle. Now as this illustri-

burglar was suddenly pounced upon by
two hairy paws, he was somewhat sur

help. with the result that Mr.. Bargeve
was drawn out of the room by his feet
in very ignominious fashion. lie was
taken to the infrmary, and it is report
