LINEMAN FCUSD WIRE THIEF
Bull Moose Was Culprit Who Had
Disturbed the Telephone Com
munication of Many Counties.
When the hull moose in the rot
lowing story became tangled In a
mass of telephone "wire. It took n
ciireful rescuer to get him free. The
[ticulfiit occufreil In the .Maine forest
region i.orth of P.angor. In the Elec
trical Experimenter. thi> linenmn who
was sent out to repair the damage de
scribes his experience:
I took tip the trail, and a couple of
miles down, near Palsy Dam, I found
the slack wire and the break, but. to
my surprise. I could find but one end.
Finally I found the other end f>00 feet
farther on. What had become of the
!>00 feet?
I soon found out when I cot back
to the break In the line. There stood
a hull moose as big as a truck horse,
looking straight at me, as much as to
say, "Here's your old wire Come and
get it!"
The moose stood Just at the end of
the road, with six or eight turns, of
wire twisted tightly round his horns,
several turns round his neck, and
300 or 400 turns of slack behind him.
Sneaking round, with the moose
watching me till the time, I managed
to get hold of the slack wire and
hauled in until 1 got the end. when X
made fast to a big tree. Then, cut
ting a good-si zed sapling, 1 started
toward the moose.
Me began to sidle round,'with head
down, mane bristling and blood In his
eye: It looked like war. Pretty soon,
however, lie managed In his circling
movements to make a turn round an
other tree, which gave him much less
scope, and when the wire came taut
with bis constant traveling he stum
bled over it and fell In a heap.
Sow was my chance! I sneaked
up as close as I dared—maybe within
15 feet—and snipped off the wire with
my pliers.
