Better Look Out Over Damaged Platte River Telephone Lines
A Silver Creek newspaper warns that someone shot a hole through the elephone line across the Platte river last Sunday. The act disrupted several lines and Monday night’s rain worsened the damage by wetting all lines across the river. A month earlier a similar act occurred but caused less harm due to dry weather. The note notes a heavy penalty for destroying telephone property and cautions the culprits to beware.
