DALLAS, Texas, June la singular
sinking of the earth's surface has sudden
ly developed in the vicinity ofthe Turtle
Greek pump house, and is giving rise to
considerable speculation respecting it's
cause and its possible effect on the reser.
yoir now in course of construction. EN-
ployees of the pump house last Monday
noticed the earth was giving Nay within
about thirty feet of the western wall of
the reservoir. Since then the fracture has
been defining itself more clearly, and
yesterday evening it presented the
appearance of a yawning chasm one
thousand feet long, forty feet wide, and
four feet deep. A loud explosion was
heard all over the city Monday night,
which, it is thought, may have h-d some
connection with the phenomenon.
