Cleveland Triangle: On the claim Of G.
A. Graves. about a mile and half west
Of town, is as peculiar a case as can be
found anywhere. In the sandstone bluff
on the east side of canon Is a round
opening which at the outside IS about
SIX feet in diameter. It looks somewhat
as though some giant had taken an auger
and bored a hole for about twenty feet
back into the bluff The hole grows
gradually smaller al II goes back In until
a the end il is about three feet high. The
cave was formed by the washing away
Of the trunk of a fossil tree which had
been imbedded in the sand before II had
become hard enough to be called sand
stone. This Is shown by the fact that the
sides and top Of the cave show the re
mains of bark and the impressions which
were made in the sand by the bark. There
are several other caves along the bluffs
whicha re only a few inches across. They
show more plainly that they were formed
this way. Last winter this cave was fit
ted wit ha doorway and used as place
TO store away seed corn.
