PUTTING IN THE CoNDUTrs.
How Task of Laying Telephone Wires
Underground Is Accomplished.

The work that the Independent Tele-
phone company is now carrying on OF
laying the wires underground is a large
underta king and will, prove beneficial
to their telephone service throughout
the city The work throws a temporary
handicap upon the public as it neeessi-
tates the tearing up Of pavemeats and
the accumulation of large distractions IN
the streets. \ large force of 1abcrers is
REQUIRED for the work. The pavement
is first torn up by one section of the
men and then anothzr section come
along with their various implements of
excavation and dig a trench about scur
feet deep and a. foot wide. A foot or so
of the space in the bottom Of the trench
is filled up with cement and concrete
which form a firm and level foundation
for the conduits which are laid next
The conduits in which the wires are laid
are made of clay and are divided into
four sections which are used as the re-
positery for the cables after they dre
run through. Every half block the
trench is replaced by large hole which
is nearly six feet deep and about four
feet in diameter. Between these exca-
vations the conduits are laid and above
these a 1aver of concrete IS laid and
then covered with earth and the pave
ment which was taken up. The dirt IS
then taken away and the street looks
none the worse.
The work is then all complete except
the laying Of the cables which is the
next number on the program The large
spools on which the cables are wound
are unloaded at the large holes which
occur every half block and are then un-
wound and run through the different
sections of tEe conduits. A large cover
ing Of sheet iron is then placed over the
hole and then covered with dirt ana
| the work is complete. When future re-
pairs become necessary they are made
/ from the vacant place which is left in
these large holes.

THE RAILROADS REPLY.
says Negro Boy Who Sues Had Been
ordered from Train.

Ieavenworth, kas.s july 11.-Nel-
son Lott. a negro boy of this city, on
April 80. 1906, was injured under the
wheels of a Missouri Pacific pas
senger train near I<ickapoo and was
taken to Atchison, where one of his
legs that had been mangled was am
putated. He fled suit against the
Missouri Pacific for $4,000 claiming
that he had been shot in the leg by
A brakeman on the train because he
did not get off and that he fell under
the wheels of the train after becoming
exhausted from loss OF blood.
The railway company has fled its
answer to Lofts suit in which it
states that Lott climbed upon the
rods or trucks of the car at Atchison
in attempting to steal n ride; that he
was discovered in Atchison on the
rods when the train was motionless
and notified to and did get off; that
he was notified al that time not TO
again attempt to get on the car or
underneath the same.
When the train left Atchfsons the
answer states, Lott again got under
the car; that he was not thereafter
seen or discovered or known to be
thereon to any emDloye in charge Of
the train: that the employees had no
notice or knowledge that he was in
i1Ired in any manner until long after
the occurrence of the injury and that
all injuries he received were the re-
, suit of his own carelessness and neg
| ligence.
