The Man who cut the Wires.
From Adelaide we learn, that Fitzgerald is a tramp who on three occasions recently has deprived the inhabitants of this part of the globe of cable intelligence by cutting the transcontinental line. Whenever Fitzgerald got off the track he found it easier to cut the wire, in order to discover hi 3 whereabouts, than to try to rectify his mistake by other methods. A sentence of six months' imprisonment has been meted out to him as a hint to desist from such practices.
