poles, stringing the wire and calling in an
expert only to connect up the boxes and
install their centrals.
He says that in the development of the
telephone as a part of farm life the In
diana farmer has probably taken the lead.
He was much interested in the way the
barb wire fences have been insulated and
used as telephone lines, and it recalled
to his mind that the first telephone mes
sage he ever sent went part of the way
over a fence. 1t was from his fathers
home in Canada to town eight miles
distant. DR.. Bell says that the barb wire
should work as well as any other wire
medium for the transmission of sound and
he said that the farmers would find that
woven wire fences would work even bet
ter than the single barb wire, If care were
taken properly to insulate them and not
let them reach the ground. He says In the
development of the government experiment
in rural mail special telephone delivery the
barb wire fence telephone is sure to play
great part. especially in the western and
prairie states.

GRANT AND HART DRAW.
Wrestlers Struggled an Hour Without
Result.

The two-nights wrestling tourney given
at Convention Hall. Baltimore, by Manager
Charles J. Weiss, ended last night with a
Graeco-Roman bout between Joe Grant of
this city. champion catch-as-catch-can
wrestler Of the south, and William c. Hart,
champion Graeco-Roman wrestler of Mary
land
The bout was one of one hours limit and
resulted in draw. much to the disappoint-
ment Of the few people who attended and
| had expected a winning for the Maryland
man.
After number Of preliminary bouts the
stars appeared and looked to be in shape,
and later proved that they were. Hart was
the first to get his hands on the mat. From
this time to the finish there was much up
and down work on the part of each con-
testant. At the end of twenty-six minutes
| Grant was working with a bar and half
| Nelson hold Hart. by clever bridging, got
from under. Six minutes later Grant got a
| double Nelson hold. and this was cleverly
| broken by Hart, and the spectators ap-
| plauded. Hart was. then the upper man
and secured a face hold on Grant, and it
looked as though the Washingtonian would
| go down. but he did not He made a siren
| uous wriggle and got out Of chancery.
While Graeco Roman was known to be
| Harris strong game. it was not known that
Grant was an expert in this style of the
game. He proved to be such and upset the
| calculations He was just as Industrious
ana fearless IN tnlS style as ne WOuld nave
| b zen had the bout been catch as-catch-can
| style.
| After three-fourths of the hour had eX-
pired Grant got a far and half Nelson and
! Hart looked though he was due to be
| thrown. but by clever bridging he not only
got out of trouble but landed above Grant
| and the spectators again cheered. The
| timers watch showed that the pair had
| been going fifty minutes and the specta-
| tors knew that Hart was very aggressive
and was working like beaver to gain a
| fall His efforts were directed toward Sc
| curing a double Nelson hold. but Grant
| was clever enough to foil him. The hour
! limit expired and neither man appeared
| nearer gaining a fall than at the beginning
| of the contest. Referee Shad Link justly
pronounced the bout draw.
