A farmer living north of Hartley and
on one of the telephone lines, concluded
that one of the batteries in connection
with his phone had become weakened
by age and upon examination found that
the contents closely resembled gun
powder, whereupon he procured a
sufficient amount Of the new powder
and renewed the battery with the same
with the result that when the electric.
ity from the other battery was turned
on spark ignited the powder causing
an explosion which proved disastrous
to the phone. Said farmer now thinks
that gunpowder is not the proper
material with which to renew telephone
atteries.--Fremont Herald.
