1t has been previously suggested that
the gravel hole on the west BLUE along
side Broadway street was a pitfall for
travellers passing that way in the dark
ness of the night and evidence accumu.
lates in favor of the assertion. Saturday
night Superintendent Cravens, of the
insane asylum, passing that way, went
ahead of his team IN foot to reconnoiter
the gravel hole approaches. While peer
ing about in the dense darkness and adj
vancing cautiously he suddenly became
onseious of a vacancy beneath his feet
and when he again came in contact with
terra irma it was at the bottom of the
gravel pit. If the doctor chooses to
compel the city to make good his losses
he can bring in a bill for q disintegrated
Prince Albert coat and various
and sundry bruises. The gravel hole is
a yawning menace to travellers out by
night.
