FURROV TOO DEEP.
Farmer Has to Rig - Derrick to Get His
Horses and Plough Out.

From the Fhfiddeiphid Times
BELLEFoSTE May 9.-On Wednesday OF this
week, while John Gilbert of near Poe Mills, was
ploughing ground for corn In n 10 W lying field
the earth suddenly gave way and the team sank
out OF sight. dragging the plough with them,
Gilbert narrowly escaped the same fato by
hastily jumping back just as the earth crumbled
beneath his feet. IL was just about sundown
when the accident occurred.
The neigh of one OF the horses spurred Gilbert
to action. and realizing that what could bo done
must bo done quickly, he at once went for help,
and soon had half dozen or more ncighbors
come to his assistance. Owing TO tho continual
crumbling of the ground near the hole, 1t was
unsafe to go close. and tho rigging up Of a wind
lass by which TO descend for an investigation
was slow as well as peri lous work In fact, 1t
was nearly midnight when tho job was done
and eL Gilbert ready to descend, Cautiously

team In the fall and lay to one side. Both ami;

twenty feet across by hftcen wide. There, were
straight aB IL built up by u stoncmasOn. Tho
bottom also was solid bod Of stone and at ono
side was q narrow drift or opening leading OFF in
n westerly direction. tho full extent OF which
could not be ascortnined but which probably led
into another similar hole or cavern. From tho
small amount of earth and stone found in tho
hole, the covering of earth and rock could not
have been more than two feet thick, and this
has been farmed over for twenty-five years.
This is ;he third accident of this kind which
has happened in Centre county in the past ST
months, The first occurred, about eight miles
east of BellefOnte last fall, when the horse OF n
farmer near Zion sank out OF sight. The hole in
this case was only about fifteen feet in depth.
and the animal was easily rescued. just ono

Of such accidents has set gcOOgsts TO studying

are in effect that the entire scope OF valleys Just

and known to geOiogists as the limestone range,

His Remarkable Experience.


II doubt II any man ever had more singular
experience" said Col. Callipor, than once fell
to the lot of my old friend. Stephen Gizzbunkler.
who formerly lived in Storkville Centre Vt.
Mr.. Gizzbunkler. like most OF us, had his pecu-
liaritics. the most conspicuous perhaps, being
his habit Of always carrying an umbrella. No
matter what the weather nor what the signs
might be, he never went out without an UNI
brella; he knew IL would DO sure to rain II he
did. Where he got this impression don't know
Ho may have been out some time in his youthful
days In his best clothes without umbrella
when it came on to rain.
Some years ago when they began making the
curious and costly experiments in the arid re-
giOns of tho far West, firing explosives from
balloons, and one thing and another to produce
rain, Mr.. Gzzbunkler standing one day with
his umbrella under his arm. in the Stork vile
Centre Post Office. perusing tho newspaper
which he had just taken from the mall said:
"'Why do they waste all this money In nero
experiments when they could get rain with cer-
tainty and at far less cost Why don't they
"'What, could you do asked a neghbor who
was standing near.
., Why, could 30 out without my umbrella,
said MIR. GiZZbunklcr, and, amazing as IL may
seem, 1t is not the less certainly u fact that he
wrote to the Mayor Of IA town near which some
Of these experiments had been conducted offer
ing TO go there and produce rain for his eX-
pcnses. 1t shows tho consuming desire for rain
on the part OF the people, and their readiness TO
take any chances TO get It, that they Immediate
ly sent Mr.; Gizzbunkler draft for the money to
come on with, without even asking him how he
was gong o produce the rain.
when MIR. GZzbunkler arrived Mt the town
he was met AT the railroad station by 1t delegH-
ton Of citizens who escorted him to the hotel;
later he was waited ON officially by tho Ran
