Use of Automatic Telephone

feature of the automatic telephone
system which is not generally known,
and one which hitherto has gone un-
mentioned, is the paging machine by
the use of which anyone having an
automatic telephone of the ''two-hun-
dred" class may be located even though
he is not at his telephone.
1t is taken for granted that everyone
who has an automatic knows his num-
Der. If someone calls his number ana
gets no response, the person making the
call may hang up the receiver, dial the
last two figures in the number he de
sires, and they will 0e rung in all parts
of the building on the gongs. Hearing
his number called, the person wanted
may go to any automatic telephone,
ring 279, the paging machine, and be
connected Immediately with the person
calling him
The gong system, in paging num-
ber. taps the second figure, pauses, and
taps the last. For instance, If 23l
were being PACED, the gongs would tap
three times. pause and tap once.
Only the numbers on the "two-hun-
dred" list may he paged.-The Empire.

DEAD MAN A VICTIM
OF ACCIDENT THINKS
THE CORONER'S JURY

Several hundred people from Ardmore
and surrounding territory visited the
undertaking establishment of Brown
and Bridgman Saturday to view the
remains Of the young man who was
found beside the Santa Fe railway
tracks north of the city early Saturday
1orning, and who died later at the
sanatarium, without regaining CON
sC.ousness. Several who visited the
place asserted that they had seen the
young man before, but none We're able
to furnish the authorities with a clue
to lead to his identity.
The body has been embalmed and
will be held indefinitely, pending some
fortunate turn of events that may lead
relatives TO find and identify the dead
man.
II is the general opinion of officers
that no foul play caused the young
mans death but that he was the vic
tim of an accident. Whether he fell
from a train that he was riding, or
whether he was sitting beside the track
when hit is not known. When found
with his head badly mashed part of
the brain was in his hat which partly
covered his face.
Monday morning a coroners jury was
empanelled to inquire into the cause of
death. The jury viewed the body at the
undertaking establishment and visited
the scene of the accident.
The verdict was that khe victim
came to his death through accidental
means.
The inquest was held before Justice
Franklin Farmland and the following
were the jurors: Gabe Newman. W. 5.
Lively, Captain Woods, Art Naylor,
Sigel Patton and w. c. Clemens.
County Attorney Brown conducted
the proceedings.
