GOOSE HANGS SELF
AND CROSSES WIRES

Amid entangled telephone wires a
goose that had hanged itself, was
found yesterday by a lineman for
the East Tennessee Telephone com
pany. The goose had killed itself by
flying into the telephone wires and
being unable to get through had
huttered until exhausted. and then
the weight of its body had pressed
its windpipe against a wire and 1t
soon was smothered to death. Com
plant was received from numerous
patrons residing in Lone Oak that
their telephones were out OF order
and II. Rossier, lineman, was sent
out to locate the disorder. Near
Lone Oak he was surprised to find
the goose. which weighed about ten
pounds, suspended from the wires,
which were tangled and caused the
common disorder to the telephone
known as crossed wires" The
goose was removed from between the
wires and the service was restored.
