THE JURY DISAGREED.

San Francisco Some
years ago while I was residing at
Visalia," remarked Attorney William
H. Afford 81 was called to Hanford
to defend a petty offender in a JUS
tees court. The defendant had de-
manded jury trial, and we put in
half a day trying to get a jury, only
to find out at the end of that time
that we had but one lone juror in the
jury box.
"Well, I'm willing to try the case
with one juror said the attorney for
the prosecution.

"And we proceeded with the trial
The arguments were howlingly funny
for the reason that the attorney for
the prosecution persisted in address

out to the jury room, where he might

the peace. You get back there again

The exploring party remained there
for two days, penetrating as far as
man had ever been before. Stopping
at point where the roof had caved
IN and so barred further progress,
they retraced their steps and went
to Carlisle Center, camping on the
Gordon farm. Ice cave was then
Visited-so named from the fact that
the temperature therein never rises
above the freezing point. The party
did not long remain there. The low
temperature makes extended explor-
atoms, extremely inconvenient but
it is said that venturesome persons
long ago discovered, after having
penetrated long distance, a frozen
lake and deep, icy chasms, almost
fathomless.
McFalps cave was next visited.
The cavern takes it's name from the
unfortunate man who lost his life
while exploring it in 1853. This
gentleman, a professor in the semi
nary at Carlisle, was being drawn up
from the pit by means of a rope and
had almost reached the surface when
he was seized with vertigo and fell
backward, striking upon mis- head and
fracturing his skull. He lived only
a few hours.
The owners Of the cave, deeply
| affected b. the sad occurrence, closed
tho entrance with 1Ooc opd c+o1ac
and did their work so thoroughly
that the recent explorers were able
to penetrate only about fifty feet.
Better results were obtained at
Selleck's cave OR the Chester farm.
This cave, located in the heart of the
woods, is at the entrance, a circular
basin Of about twenty-five feet. In
one corner of this basin is an open
| ing into the ground sufficient to adj
nit the entrance of a man and, so
descending, the explorers dropped, al
most vertically, thirty-four feet.
! Safety was provided by telling a tree
! across the entrance and tying a rope
| to this, the other end being fastened
to the explorers body. Then after
travelling about eighty feet, at an in
; cline of about 45 degrees the open
ing, from being narrow crevice OF
from two to three feet, suddenly ex-
pands into a great rotunda forty feet
long and whose height is fully 100
| feet. Upon the sides are fantastic
worn surfaces and fossils peculiar to
the Coeymans age of limestone.
Through it stream of water runs.
The party continued 100 feet and
then left to investigate other caverns,

can the plea of time avail, since 1t

taken to save time leads to the

CAVES OF NEW YORK STATE.
Caverns in Schoharie County Are Be-
ing Explored This Summer.

ing Explored This Summer.
The caves and caverns of Scholar
ie county have been objects of inter
est and speculation almost from the
time Of the advent of the white man
within her borders, says the Gate
skill Index. In number and magni-
tude they surpass those of any other
county in the state
There are probably 100 of these
caverns in the county, all of them of
deep interest to the geoIogist and
some of them invested with weird
and fantastic tales by the early set
tiers. At least two lives have been
lost in the attempt at their explora-
ton, and yet in spite of all the labor
and suffering the beginning and end
ing of most of them are still shrouded
in mystery and doubt.
Not until the present summer has
the scientific exploration of them
been attempted by the state. 1t has
been believed that most, if not all,
of these great caverns are intercom-
municative, that these little streams
which disappear beneath the surface
and so mysteriously flow on under
ground finally all unite in some sub
terranean river flowing through the
CobleskiI cavern, as by biologists
this great underground opening has
been named.
To ascertain, if possible, whether
this be true, and to explore the caves
and caverns and to discover as lar
as possible their size and outline
and their relation to each other a
party began operations, as previous
Iy noted, on June 80. 1t was under
the direction of the state geologist
and consisted of Prof. John H. Cook
of the Albany normal college; James
F. Loughran, surveyor; Harry Cook,
a photographer, and a laborer.
They began work at Howe's cave
This, which is the most famous OF
those in Schoharie county and rivaled
in size only by Mammoth cave in
Kentucky, was first explored in 1912
by Lester Howe, from whom it took
its name. This bold spirit, undis
mayed by the tales of its being in
habited by wild beasts, removed the
underbrush and after months Of great
labor and hardship penetrated the
cavern, discovered the lake therein
and thoroughly explored for a dis

until he was so i'll that he was taken
from the motor car and laid under a
tree. Then the question was what
to do. They were in the depths of
the country, miles from any assist
ance, but as last hope young ViIet-
ia was sent to find a doctor, and his
mother set herself to watch the
patient and relieve his sufferings as
much as possible. So absorbed was
she that for the moment she forgot
her pretty daughter left in the auto
mobile with Signor Garufi.
Suddenly her anxiety for the sick
man was extinguished by hearing a
quick rush, and she looked up to see
the motor car disappearing down the
road. 1t was soon out of sight, and.
more wonderful, the young man
semed to Immediately to recover and
was soon able to join her lamenta-
lions. That, however, was all they
were able to do for hours, as the son
when he returned had not seen a
soul, and there they were kept prison
ers, the mother rendered frantic by
anxiety, the son brooding over the
suspicious illness and recovery of
his friend, and that friend smiling to
himself occasionally over the success
of his ruse.
