THE SALT LAKE HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER ; 1890:


Once she turned her head towards me,
her face pallid. "If you have scratched
up little Samuelv she screamed, pant
Ing, but she had not breath enough to
finish the sentence, and continued on
ward with clenched fists.
But little Samuel was not scratched
up My house had not passered within
100 feet of his resting place. Then We
turned and went back to the house, or
rather to the houses
1t was now we'll on in the morning,
and some of the neighbors had become
aware of the strange disaster which
had happened to me, although if they
had heard the news from Mrs. Carson
they might have supposed that it was
a disaster which had happened only to
her AS they gazed at the two houses
so closely damned together all of
them wondered, some of them even
laughed, but not one of them offered a
suggestion which afforded satisfaction
to Mrs. Carson or myself. The general
opinion was that my house was there,
it would have to stay there, for there
were not enough horses in the state
to pull it back up that mountain side.

to understand it. All 1 want is for you
to take it away"
Il will do that madam, just as soon
as l can. You may be very sure l will
do that, but
Can you do it now?" she asked.
Can you do it today? l don't want a
minute lost. l have not been outside
to see what damage has been done, but
the first thing to do is to take your
house away
L am going to the town now, madam,
to summon assistance"
Mrs. Carson wade no answer but she
turned and walked to the end of her
porch. There she suddenly gave a
scream, which quickly brought her
daughter from the house. Kitty
Kitty" cried her mother; do you
know what he has done? He has gone
right over my round flower garden, and
he is sitting on it this minutei''
But he could not help it, mother -
said Kitty.
Help it.'' exclaimed Mrs. Carson. Il
don't want him to help it; what 1
want"-suddenly she stopped Her
eyes flashed brighter. and her mouth
opened wider. She seemed to have lost
the power of speech, but quickly it
came back to her. Little Samuel"
she screamed. Kitty, do you know I
believe he has scratched up little Sam
uei,''
I looked at her stupefied without
knowing what she was talking about.
Little Samuel" again screamed Mrs.
Carson and she ran about, wildly en-
deavoring to get off her porch, but my
house had demolished her steps and it
blocked UP the opening.
The side door, motherr said Miss
Kitty, and then, as the older woman
disappeared into the house with a sti-
fed exclamation, her daughter said to
me: 1T is about my little brother she
is thinking. He died some years ago
and was buried in a small graveyard
back of our garden. She thinks your
house has gone over it and has
scratched him up" Miss Carson now
followed her mother, and 1 jumped
over the ratings of the porch and ran
after them.
AS we hurried along by the house
and into the garden, which now
seemed to be unevenly divided into two
parts, scream after scream came from
Mrs. Carson as she noticed the absence
of sheds, fences or vegetable beds,
which had found themselves in the
course of my all-destroying dwelling.

give you some breakfast; but I want to
ask you something. 1 am in a good
deal of perplexity; our two servants
are out at the front of the house, but
they positively refuse to come in. Th>.,
are afraid that your house may begin
sliding again and crush them all, so
shall have to get breakfast but what
bothers me is trying to find our well.
L have been outside and can see no
signs of it,"
Where was your well?" 1 gasped.
1T ought to be somewhere near the
back of your house, she said. May
go through your hall and look out?''
"Of course you may" l cried, and l
preceded her to my back door.
Now, IL seems to me- she said, af-
ter surveying the scene of desolation
Immediately before, and looking from
side to size, towards objects which had
remained untouched, that your house
has passed directly over our well, and
must have carried away the little shed
and the pump and everything above
ground. [ should not wonder a bit, -
she continued slowly, If it is under
your porch"
1 jumped to the ground, for the steps
were shattered, and began to search for
the we'll, and it was not long before

ined, under one end of my porch.
What can we do?" she asked. I'VE
can't have breakfast or get along at
all without water" It was a terribly
depressing; thing to me to think that L,
or rather my house, had given these
people so much trouble, but 1 speedily
assured Miss Carson that if she could
find a bucket and rope, which 7 could
lower into the well. I could provide her
with water
She vert into her house to see what
she could find, and I tore away the
broken blanks of the porch, SO that /
could get to the well, and then, when
she came with a tin pail and a clothes
line, 1 went to work with great ardor
to haul up water and to carry it to her
back door
II don't want mother to find out
what has happened to the WE'LL" she
said, for she has enough on her mind
already.
Mrs Carson was woman with some
good points in her character. After a
time she called to me herself, and told
me to come in to breakfast, but dur
ing the meal she talked very earnestly

CHICAGO, August ia special from
Tucson, Ariz., says that DR.. P. P. M.
Smith of Hagerstown, Md, and party
of mining men, who have just return
ed from the Ripsey mines, report the
fall Of an immense meteor, which
struck the desert about two miles north
of Halls ranch and about the same
distance south of the Ripsey mines.
1T fell on Sunday night, the 9th in
slant, about 8 O'Clock. Members of
the party, who were camped at Halls,
say the conclusion was terrible. Cup
boards were upset, dishes thrown down
and the houses trembled as leaf.
The noise was like that of many can
non fired simultaneously. The air for
miles around was filled with sulphur
Gus gas and the meteor came down red
and smoking.

appearing to be imbedded hundreds of
feet in the earth, and now forms a
