USED BARBED WIRE
FENCE FOR THEIR
Telephone Line

A complete telephone system with
switchboard accommodations for thir-
ty lines, connecting sixty telephones
over approximately 300 miles of
barbed wire line, has solved the prob
lem of farmers and ranches in the Vi
cinity of Hodges who wished to have
a serviceable but inexpensive method
of communication, according to H. E.
Murphy, who is in the city this week
on business from Wibaux County.
The barbed wire telephone system
was first started there Is years ago
and since has grown steadily. The
the only telephone poles used being at
the only telephone poles used being
at road crossings and over gateways
where the wire had to be elevated
above the fences.
The system was inexpensively in
stalled, the only cost being the pur-
chase of the telephones, at from So
to s15 each, rs cents from each men,
Der for the purchase of the switch
board, and the road crossings and
gates were constructed Of native ma

Springs sawmill. While they had
plenty OF provisions at the home, Gar
vey decided that they must have some
meat and accordingly on March IA
started out hunting. On Sunday
March 23, following premature child
birth, having made up her mind that
her husband had become lost and had
died, Mrs. Garvey, needing attention,
started to walk to Kane, and was
found two days later as stated above.
A searching party vas organized to
find Carney and on last Sunday about
5 p. m. the searchers found the body
of Garvey near the Sioux Trail ross
ing of Devel's Canyon. The body was
found about a half mile from the edge
of the canyon. Elmer Dorm, who was
in town yesterday, gave the following
account of the finding Of the body:
Garvey had been across the canyon,
where he had killed a, deer and had
stripped off some of the hind quart
ers, which he was packing toward
his home. Owing to the deep snow
he had evidently become exhausted
and finally gave up the ghost when
within a short distance of where he
had left his snow shoes on the trip
trip out. He had slid back, seemingly
on his feet, for a short distance to
where. the body rested. The face and
body were black from exposur and
cold and all indications pointed to the
fact that Garvey had met his death
on the day he set out from home, the
body having laid IA days before being
found. The body was brought to
Kane, where the funeral will probab-
ly be held late this afternoon.
Garey has had a homestead on the
mountains for several years and last
fall went to st. Louis, where he was
married to Elizabeth Thoman. Gar
vey was a Hungarian and his wife was
of the same nativity. Elmer Dorm
on coming in with the body, wired
the mother of Mrs. Garvey, Mrs. John
Thoman of st. Louis, who wired back
that she would arrive here today.

Chicago, April 2nd.-"The Great
BartelP who has played minor small
timers around Chicago for a long time

cumulated so much junk in his in

china, glass and metal out of his
stomach.
One item on the inventory was a
curtain hook more than an inch and
a half long with a pointed end like a
a tarpon gait. According to the
stories circulated here, Bartell loved
his art and would do impromtu
stuff for anybody who asked him.
One agent declares hat to prove he
was a headliner, Bartell broke up
and consumed an incandescent cleo
trio globe with vivid business of real
relishment.
He is "a, and he declared to DR..
Thorek that he had been swallowing
things since he was four. He never
had an ache or pain. He was doing
the turn at the Logan Square Sun
day night when he swallowed a nail
that pierced the wall of his stomach
1t broke up the act and he was hur-
ried to the hospital. He'll get better,
but he has eaten his last horse shoe.

STARVING and NEARLY FROZEN
WOMAN H0MSTEADER DROPS IN
ROAD; HUSBANDS BODY FOUND
Mrs. Stephan Garvey Spends Three Days and
Two Nights on Trail in Big
Horn Mountain

Lowell, Wyo., April 15.-Travel-
mo ON foot down the rugged noun
IAN trail for three days, with nc food
and no shelter for two nights, was the
terrible experience of Mrs. Stephen
Garvey, wife Of a homesteader on
Rig Horn mountain.
Mrs. Garvey was found lying in the
muddy road, completely exhausted
tuesday evening, near the Kane
baridge on the Big Horn river, by a
young man named Beall. He man
aged to get the woman on his horse
and carried her to the residence of
Carl Fink, where she was taken care
pf and a physician summoned.
The homestead is high up on the
mountain, virtually cut off from the
rest of the world during THE winter
months. Mrs. Carney says that her
husband left her alone two weeks ago
telling her he was going hunting and
would be back next day. He failed to
return and after waiting until Sunday
and being entirely destitute of food
supplies there remained nothing for
her to do but try to make the Is mile
~
trip down the mountain to the nearest
settlement. She believes that an ac-
cident befell her husband and that he
is now dead somewhere in the Big
Horns.
DR.. Olson, who was called to attend
the woman, reports that she is suf-
fering from starvation and exposure,
slightly frozen feet and premature
childbirth, but that she has a fair
chance at recovery.
Mrs. Garvey was brought to the
Basin Hospital on Monday and is re-
eeiving the attention of the surgeons
of that institution. The foot is in bad
condition, gangreene having set in,
and the doctors are merely waiting to
see how much of the foot will have to
be amputated.
The Garveys lived on a homestead
in the Big Horns about IA miles from
Kane and 7 miles from the Five

THE PLACID PEOPLE
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

The placid people-those very nice people whom you and I know, who take all and give you nothipg-who do less in the worlds work than any the drones in the beehive of life. Such a one did untold harm the other day in the case of young girl who needed help. She had gotten into serious trouble. She went to some of these friends of her family and begged them to go to her parents in her behalf. feeling that she could not face the music herself.
 They refused to help her. Their excuse was they did not wish to "in- tefere." They did not want ito get into a controversy" with her father and mother. They were anxious 70 preserve peace">in their own midst. They were serenely placid. Oh, yes, of course they loved the girl who was in trouble. But they loved her better when she hadn't any trouble. They were very sorry for her. And it was a regretable oc- currence." They did not just know how she could get out of her diff ficulty, but really they could not do
 The rebuke was too much for the girl. She attempted serious injury to herself and has been nearly at deaths door. After months of misery on the part of her father and mother, who did not know her whereabouts, they found her and she told them about those placid friends who re- fused to aid her.
 It is easily imagined the bitter feel ing that arose in their hearts for their unfriendly friends. The result has been absent treatment of them. And now they can keep placid to their hearts content. They have lost all chance of Controversy" These placid people can't understand 1t. They never can.
 And this occurrence is we'll summed up in an incident have told many times concerning Nathan 6traus, the great benefacter of humanity. At one of the big meetings where he was making an appeal for pasteurized milk for poor babies who were dying by the hundreds he drew the picture of some of them in their misery.
 Although everybody was weeping 1t seemed he could get no response in the way of help for these dying chill dren. Finally he jumped up and cried: "I see you are all sorry for these unfortunate babies. I am sorry for them. I am $1O,OOo sorry for them. How much are you sorry for them?" It struck home.
 So it is in the case of these placid persons who are forever on the fence. who believe they earn their title of nice people" because they sit back quietly and do nothing about any thing.
 Be nice, peaceful and placid as much as you can. but be ready to rise to the occasion and show that there Is red blood in your veins. Tn a word, be human. no matter what 1t costs.
 That is the stuff of which the real people of the world are made.

Dear Miss Dix: have been mar :
 ried two years, and my wife and
 have many disputes. because I think that should have one night a week off. She will not hear to this, and never gone out by myself. Even e
 servant has one day off. Don't you fthtnk husband Is entitled to that certainly do, Charles, and if I were you would take it, no matter how big domestic rumpus it kicked
 up. There is no virtue in submitting l to tyranny, and the more you give iii
 to the despot on the heapth the more
 you will have to give in, until the time will come when you won't even dare to call your soul your own.
 Of course, when I say that you are entitled to an evening off, am pre- suming that you are going to spend 1t like algentleman. If you are going to use 1t to chase skirt or(get drunk or gamble away money you can't af- ford, then your wife is Justified In
 locking you ID in your prison cell. ! But if you just want 70 go to your
 club. or your lodge. or 10 . show, or thave some real man-talk with men. or
 just get off by yourself and do as you darn please for . few hours, T Alse's tastes and desires--and we
 all sget like that sometin.es--why then your wife is most unreasonable
 to deny you this pleasure.
 It is pity that women can't under-
 stand that fife Is just as much a grind for men as 1t Is for them, and \ that men need relaxation and pleas- 1 turned into different directions just
 as much as they do. and that the only possible time . busy man c8n get this
 relaxation is at night, for he Is at his
 work all day..
 s, It Is also pity that . woman has
 not sense enough to know that the more she forbids her husband to go Tout in the evening the more he de- Il sires to go, and the tighter she tries Ito nail him at home the more he hates l home and domesticity. Make a man free to go when he p1eases and he Istays. Bar the door, and hes c1lmbs | over the transom. For that is the
 contrariness of human nature.
 < So take your evening off, Charles Ilt will freshen you up and do you I good. But play fair with the wife. Tell her that she may also take orr one evening a week. and that you win mind the baby while she goes down. town and has dinner with her friends,
 or goes to the theatre, or does any
 thing else that diverts her.
 l Home would be cheerier place If
 both husband and wife snAnt an even-
 ing away from 1t every week, getting
 new ideas. a fresh fund of anecdotes
 and something interesting to talk
 about. DOROTHY DIX:
