the hillsdes, and Saturday night several
hundreds of tons of dirt and rock slid
from the steep bluff towering above the

plete establishment and burial of the
barn, with all in it.

Deputy Sheriff G. B. Carter. The dirt
shot clean through one end of the barn,
killing all of Mr.. Carter's chickens, com
pletely demolishing a good buggy and a
cutter and burying a cow all but her
head. She was rescued.
