for more than thirty-five years. His
son. Herschel F. Mastin. has been
reared here. They were partners

Wind Straps OFF Poles, Causing TangIe
of Wires.
The sect. which weighed down all
wires, aided by the high northwest
wind, played havoc with wires and
poles of the Iowa Telephone Company
in the alley between Center and First
streets. Doth north and south of State
street at about noon today. Four poles,
each of which carried forty-one wires.
We're broken off about twenty feet from
the ground. Some of the wires We're
broken off and many We're tangled and
twisted. The top of one pole. carrying
the cross arms, was hurled by the wind
on top of the Central fire station. A
similar part of another pole dropped
on top of the house owned by 3. f..
Cummings. just across the street, and
hung suspended by the wires from the
gable of the house. The top of third
pole caught on barn in the rear of
the house where it hung. and still an
other was thrown into a lot farther
north.
approximately 100 telephones In the
north part of the city were put out of
commission by the breaking of the
poles. The damage will be repaired by
Thursday. Manager Frank Gaffney said
this afternoon. The company's toll
lines are also out of commission.
