EARTH OPENED.
Team of Horses Swallowed Up
in Cave-in of a Coal Mine.

A peculiar accident happened Tues
day morning at the Simon Phillips
farm a short distance northeast of
Beacon. There was a CAVERN of the
earth on account of the giving down
of the roof of the coal mine beneath
the surface. The land has been mined
for a number of years and there are
numerous abandoned entries and
rooms.
Ernest Phillips was blowing in the
field above the old mine with a Guilt
vator when the cavern occurred and
he narrowly escaped going into the
earth. The ground upon which his
team was walking began sinking and
the horses had to struggle to keep to
their feet. They were completely
swallowed up in the hole that was
made. 1t sank to q distance of eight
or ten feet. Young Phillips was be-
hind the cultivator and escaped going
into the hole.
The horses struggled violently to
escape but they went into the leave
in" and the cultivator followed.
Young Phillips ran to get assistance
and when some who had witnessed
the accident from a distance arrived
at the hole the boy was not to be
found and this fact started the report
that the lad had also gone into the
hole and as he could not be seen or
heard it was thought that he had
been trampled to death by the horses.
Assistance arrived and the animals
were finally taken from their uncom-
Portable position. One of them was
considerably injured internally and
may die. The cultivator was badly
wrecked.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 2.


The past week was unseasonably
warm with prevalence of high winds,
causing rapid evaporation of moisture
and q whitening effect upon tender
vegetation. Some relief was afforded
by local showers and cooling winds
on the nights of the 27th and 2Sth.
The heaviest rainfall occurred in the
central and north central districts;
Iowa Falls reporting $3.50 and Charles
City 1:43 inches on night of the 9th.
In the larger portion of the state there
was practically no rain of sufficient
amount to be of substantial benefit to
crops. Pastures potatoes, garden
truck and berries suffered the worst
effects of the hot winds, especially
in localities where they had been less
than normal rainfall during the past
month. Conditions were highly
favorable for killing weeds, and the
time has been well improved in the
corn fields, which are now unusually
clean. Corn has made rapid progress
and has not as yet suffered material
damage from hot winds though near
ing the danger line in some sections.
The crop is variable, ranging from
10 to 80 inches in height. Some early
planted fields have been laid by, and
the bulk of the crop will be laid by
within the coming week. AS a whole
it is about week later than last year,
promising about an average crop.
Haying is in progress. Small grain
is we'll headed, but shorter than
usual. Early apples promise about
go to so per cent and winter apples
less than half crop. Cherries yield
ing abundantly.

let the matter drop. Later he was
surprisee to learn that the position

ton and that his wife had received a
similar appointment.
