WAY OF CHEATING TELEPHONE.
How Long-Distance Line Was
Worked for a Free Message.

1t has just been discovered that a
new kind Of free toll service graft has
been worked on the telephone com.
pantes of Lansing, Mich. A few days
ago the travelling representative of a
business concern located in a distant
city came into town, canyassed the
trade industriously and landed several
orders of good size.
After his days work was done h.
went to the telephone and asked fa
long distance" After the usual pre-
liminaries he called for his brother in
the distant city. The brother could
not be located.
Well, then, perhaps the operator
could get his sister. No, his sister
also was out. He was sorry, but would
call again later and left the booth
without having to pay toll, of course,
as he did not get his party.
The next day he departed for pas
lures new, and the telephone company
was none the wiser. But the, house
had received a correct report of the
business done by the drummer that
day, and the toll was saved for him
self or the house. The brothers.
name stood for the amount of his sales
and the sisters for the character Of
the order. - American Telephone

Americas Great Railroad Devsl.puen,

Statistics concerning railroads re-
Gently issued by the Prussian minis
try of public works, are condensed by
the Railroad Age Gazette. The statistics
are compiled for the year 1907. 1t app
pears by the statistics that in Europe
there are 1919, 1886 miles of railroad, as
compared with 28s, 05s in North America.
The old world of Europe, Asia and
Africa has, collectively, 271, 1893 miles
of railroad, as compared with the new
worlds mileage Of $4,000.
AS the figures state. North America
has "a per cent more miles of railroad
than has Europe and nearly as much
as the whole of the old world. Dur
ing the year 1907 Europe increased. itc
railroad mileage 2,917 miles, while
North America increased by 1857
miles. The greater portion of the new
mileage in Europe was laid in Russia,
1925. France followed with 431 miles
and Germany came next with All miles.
Russia will probably continue to do far
more railroad building for several
years to come than any other European
country, because Russia has the great
est area of territory and has Jagged be-
hind for many years in the develop
ment of its interior transportation
facilities:
The growth of railroads in Asia is
notable, reaching 1923 miles, and it
is the opinion of the statisticians that
this growth will continue, particularly
in China. The Chinese are awakening
to the necessity of railroad construction,
and with their newly developed spirit,
they are insisting on doing the work for
themselves. The German statisticians
insist, however, that the Chinese are
making clumsy work of it, the art of
combination being beyond their pres
ent grasp, but they are showing that
they want the railroads and some way
or another they are certain to get
them,

A Lincoln County Mystery

Lincoln county has a murder mystery
according to the following Phoebe dis
patch:
Are Julius Weir, Jr., Julius Wier. Sr,
and Mrs. Kate Wier responsible for the
death of Charles Todd, whose body was
found in the water at the bottom of a
well at Bristol Wells Monday? That is
the question which the peace officers of
Lincoln coanty propose to find out. AT
a meeting of the special jury "a few
evenings ago the matter was discussed
and since then, it is alleged, sufficient
discriminating evidence has been OBJ
tanned to warrant the making of the
arrests. The last seen of Todd alive
was on May 18th. He was then at the
Weir camp at Bristol whence he went
about the date mentioned in company
with VIM. Blackwell. It will be re-
membered that warrants were issued
charging Blackwell and Todd with the
crime Of horse stealing. Mrs. Blackwell,
who had II few days previously filed
suit for Il divorce being the complain
ant. Blackwell and Todd were traced
to Bristol and Walker Lee was deputiz-
ed to go after them. He found his men
but for some reason never fully ,ex-
planned, he left Todd at Bristol, bring
ing Blackwell back with him to Phoebe.
Strange to say, nothing more was
heard about the case. No return was
made to Judge Perkins court.
Todd suddenly dropped out of sight
and the Wcirs claim they missed him,
yet admit that no attempt was made to
spread the alarm until after the dis
covery of the body in the we'll near
their premises last Monday by Angelo
BiSSiO and William Carton.
