Over a hundred sightseers took the
traction cars Tuesday and visited the
sink hole at Round Prairie about three
miles south of the city to see the con-
dltion of the hole. Like the Slough
of :Despond In "Pilgrim's Progress"
this chasm seems to swallow every
thing put into its unquenchsble NAV.
Over fifty loads of dirt dumped into
the hole Saturday disappeared Saturday
night and Sunday morning. 1t is a
question what theU. B. & N. line will
do with this nuisance on their right of
way. The chief engineer of the line
while in the city a few days ago stated
that the hole could be filed but by this
time he may have changed his mind.
This hole has delayed work of con-
Meeting West Liberty and this city for
several years and at last the traction
company may conclude to build around
it like the Big Four did for some time.
There is now a yawniDg chasm at the
hole and the traction company is a:
far from filling the hole as they were
when they first commenced on it.
