Cables Ruined by Bullets.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE. Ind, May 2S.-As result of an
investigation Of the cause of the poor tele-
phone service in this city during the last
few days local managers of the Central
Union Telephone Company have discovered
that between 1900 and 5000 feet of lead
cable have been practically destroyed by
being pierced by bullets. The theory of
the telephone people is that the holes were
caused by shots fired from fiobert rifles in
the hands OF boys and young men who were
shooting at birds. The cables are an inch
more in diameter and consist of 200 or
500 wires encased in lead. The loss to the
company will aggregate more than $500.
