look she became panic stricken when A she saw un apparently bottomless pit I had suddenly formed almost at her i feet. She ran to the house and called ( her parent;'. . Mieheals tossed a twelve toot board into the cavernous holo and was surprised when it disappeared with a splash below the edge. By lying flat 1 on his stomach he was able to touch : the end of the board. Further investigation revealed that 11 the hole was more than fifteen feet i deep ami had about two feet of water, in the bottom. Old residents discounted the theory that un abandoned well may have been in the spot at one time as none could be found who could remember u house being located near the spot. The theory advanced by some at the most logical is that the giound deep below the sin face of the soil Is composed of quicksand which for some reason suddenly shifted, allowing the surface soil to settle. This theory is born out by the water in the bottom I of the hole being full cf sandy silt. _o — COURT HOUSE Fi’es Suit On Notes The Berne Equity Exchange has tiled a suit on a note hi the Adams circuit court against Dan Burley, demanding judgment for $250.
