There Is noSstone wall around the
lake, as one would sappose from the
name. There is, however, a well de-
fined wall around it, but it is earth
and not stone. At many places it is
ten and twelve feet and higher. It
looks not unlike railroad which has
been graded to make a fill, SO well de-
fined is the wall or embankment.
There are many .'nigger heads and
other rocks along the shore, and the
old dried up bed is covered with them
in many places. A good portion Of the
bed is 50 rocky that it can never be
farmed on that account. Tt looks like
the sea would, were 1T to become dry,

There are good many reasons given
for the lake becoming dry, and it may
be stated that every one Of the Wall
Lakes, the one in Sac County ais we'll
as those in Wright County are abso-
lutely dry. Other smaller lakes in
Wright, notably Elm Lake, which al
most joins Wall Lake, is also dried
UP. Ri q
l have heard a theory that Wall Lake
lost it's water when the flowing well
at Belle Plalne was struck. That is
mostly Baron Munchaussen tale,
however. There is nothing in that
idea. Maybe Mrs. Aaron was right.
Maybe tits on account of the world S
Wickedness.
Old settlers have several theories.
