some Mysteries Arc Connected with
the Deep Hole.


the Deep Hole.
Lampasas Texas February 17-About
THIRTEEN miles cast of San Saba, in what Is
called the Colony peighborhood there
was recently discovered quite a curiosity in
the way of deep cave. Several boys first
made the discovery, and descended into
same about 100 feet from the top. and
there found tied to cedar post a rope,
and after pulling up same short distance
a rope ladder was found to be attached
to it.
The ladder was made out of four ropes,
the cross-p pieces being of dogwood, secured
TO the twisted rope on each side by fish
ing line. At the end of the rope ladder was
a loop in the rope about the size OF
mans wrist, and as 1t was OF very bad
color and caused suspicious OF foul play,
the sheriff of San SABA county was noti-
fled, and thorough investigation OF tne
cave was the result. However, nothing was
found at the bottom except deep hole of
water.
Along the walls of the cave were lgtIe
places with tallow on the rock, showing
where candles had been stuck. The cave
is 227 feet deep, and except for two or
three turns. is almost perpendicular.
There are various opinions given by those
having seen The cave, come being of the
opinion that some one looking for hidden
treasures or minerals put the interesting
rope ladder in it, while others seem TO
think that likely il had been used as
hiding place by some criminal, while it is
not known positively how the 127-foot rope
ladder came to be there, as the cave had
Just been discovered.
Near the entrance to the cave. which is
small, place was found that had been
used as camp, as few cooking utensils
We're found and small quantity OF meal,
etc. and close to this camp was smaller
cave which was likely used to sleep in.
