aboet. Some twenty or thirty Crows
promptly accepted the challenge. and
quickly aliglited round the cat, with the
intention Of pulling his tail Some Of

been made in Edwards county, Tex 1t
is known as the "Devil's Sink Hole.
Recently II was partially explored. One
man WAS let down by rope $50 feet.
Here he found ledge and passage way
leading from It seven feet high, wide
enough for three men abreast, and run
ming at q steep incline downward. he
followed It 800 feet and came to an i'm
mense lake Of water, ice cold. He had
no means Of determining IFS extent, but q
stone hurled with all bis force splashed
in the water fully seventy yards sway
The bank Of the lake was covered with
pieces of rock, looking as though they
had been blasted. Some were brought 70

ounces Of silver to the ton.
