Falls a Distance of Fifty Feet
to the Ground.
POLE BROKE UNDER WEIGHT
Edward James Has a Thrill
ing Experience.
he Alightei on His Feet on the
Sidewalk and Escaped with Only
Slight Injuries.

To fall fifty feet from the top of
telephone pole TO the stone sidewalk
below and to receive only minor in
juries was the most remarkable ex-
pc, lence of Edward James, lineman
employed by the Marion County
Telephone company this morning on
north Of Center street.
James, with number of the other
linemen employed by the company,
was at work taking down the old
win es used by the Bell Telephone
company and also taking out the old
roles many of which have become
rotten and dangerous. The lineman
went up the pole without using
his safety appliance which he general
~ placed around the pole to keep
from falling. Located on the cross
arms he cut the wires on one side
and the pole sagged trifle in that
direction. With the disregard Of
danger, common to men who earn
their living by performing .feats that
seem remarkable to the layman,
James shifted to the other side OF
the pole and his weight brought it
back to the perpendicular. He then
proceeded to cut the wires on the
other side. When he had severed
mcst of them the pole broke in two
at the ground. the lineman being
precipitated to the sidewalk below as
he Immediately loosened his hold on
the cross arms. His descent through
the trees above the walk probably
iinpeded his velocity and broke the
force of his fall. He struck the stone
in standing position but fell to
the ground. The fall had knocked
the breath out of him but he was
quickly revived by Fire Chief Nc
Farland, who was directing the work
o: removing the fire alarm wires
on the old poles.
James was soon able TO get up and
walk around. His right elbow and
right knee were slightly bruised
from the hard contact with the ground
but otherwise he is apparently none
the worse for the accident.
The pole only fell half the dis
lance, being caught In the trees. In
vestigstion developed the fact that
there was no evidence of the poles

Commissioners and Auditor
are at Logger Heads.
COMMISSIONER DISAPPOINTED
Nsw Road Does, Not Stand
up Under Traffic.
Heavy Show Wagons PlayedHavoc
with the New Pike South Of
Garfield Park.

The Marion County commissioners
a:e not so very well satisfied with
their experiment of the use of tar
and stone in the construction of coun-
try roads. The tar road which was
CONSTRUCTED at the extention OF East
Center street, is not holding up un-
der the heavy travel In fact the
| first few hundred feet of the new road
is spreading and furroughing like so
much mud
The commissioners believe that the
condition of the now road is largely
due TO the fact that the large circus
wagons passed over it before the tar
and stone filling had cemented. The
road however, II properly constructed,
should have been solid enough to
have held up the circus wagons. 1t
Is probable that part Of the new
read, which was travelled by the cir
Gus wagons, will have to be rebuilt.
The elegant surface which made a
magnificent roadway, was hattened
out like a pancake. The tar and
stcno dust is a conglomerated mess
and 1t is certainly a disappointing
sight to the commissioners who had
cherished great hopes for their ini-
tial experiment in the construction of
better roads.
The commissioners say that II the
rad is defective in any way, 1t was
not the fault Of the new gasoline
road motor. They claim that the
big machine Is better than ever and
Is just what Marion county has
needed for several years.
I'VE haven't a real good road in
Marion county" declared one of the
commissioners, Friday. There is
only one way to build good roads
ard that is to roll them down and
work them into shape The idea of
placing loose stones on a pike and
compelling the farmers to wear out
their valuable horses in trampling it
down Is an ancient one and we must
Keep up to date" Whether or not
the county auditor pays for the gaso-
line roller, ii is the best possible in
'estment that the county can make"
The county has had possession of
the machine for several months and
have only used 1t in constructing sew
eral hundred yards of tar pike east
OF the city.
According to the county auditor
Marion county is no more In need
Of road roller than they are of
balloon. Mr.. Allen says that II is a
Ridiculous idea to pay several thou
sand dollars for a machine which
viii be used only a few times a
year. He furthermore says that the
light has just begun and that there
VIII be some warm doings before the
rightfully becomes the prom
erty OF Marion county.
The commissioners are worked I'M
70 high degree of anxiety as a re-
suit OF the auditors actions. They
would keep 1t. The new machine has
proved satisfactory they claim. but
stih the commissioners have not re-
'eived the auditors order on the
county treasury for the sum neces-
;ary TO settle for il
The public is anxiously awaiting the
Of the fight and Il will nm
ioubtedly have some sensational con-
,lusion.
