STRANGE Freak OF Nature in the Country
Near lookhart.
Iookhart. Texas, August IA strange
phenomenon which has appeared In this
section since the recent extraordinary
rainfall and overflow Is exciting much
comment and speculation among the peo-
pie. In many places the ground Is
veined with cracks and seams from
four TO twenty-four Inches in width, ana
in length varying from ten to 100 ieel,
extending in several Instances, across
the public roads so as TO make traveei
difficult and dangerous. If this condl-
tion was confined to the recently over
flowed lands II could readily be account
ed for by attributing 1t to the ACTON
of the water saturating and expanding
the long arid subsoil, causing II to swell
and rend tht surface asunder but many
Of the most extensive cracks are found
on high lands and hlllsIdes not reached
by the floods nor affected by standing
water. Many OF tho wise ones are OF
the opinion that We have had local
earthquake which has thus rent ana torn
the bosom of "Old Mother harth'
