Down on South Clark street, about
100 feet north of Madison, there is on
the west side of the street coal hole
shaped like coffin. Originally the
opening was not different from any other
coal hole. 1t was of ordinary size, and
was closed with a hexagonal cover.
Then large piece of the stone was
broken off the sidewalk, charging the
hole to q great extent. When the stone
was replaced by o sheet of iron, the
hexagonal opening was elongated, so
that the shape Of coffin was formed.
Then the pedestrians along South Clark
street had their troubles.
It is asserted that attention was first
called to the ominous hole in the side
walk when man had his leg sprained
by a misstep ON the cover. A number OF
persons witnessed the accident, and at
the same time noted the peculiar shape
of the cover. 1t was not long before ev-
erybody seemed to be aware OF the cas-
ketlike figure. Now, any one who
watches the crowds that daily pass
along Clark street, near Madison, will
be attracted by their actions when they
walk near the coal hole. All the men

fully raise their skirts as they walk
shyiy away from the cover. To the cas-
