LOST IN CAVE
Louisville Explorer is Lost in
Horse Cave.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 18.-Lying
somewhere in the hitherto unexplor-
ed hooks of Horse Cave, a tremend-
Gus cavern, which lies under the
little town of Horse Cave. in Hart
county, KY, some eighty miles from
Louisville, are the remains of Will
lam Worth, lecturer, unless by
some chance he is still alive deep
in the bowels of the earth and far
from the sound of human voices.
Worth started to explore the depths
of the cavern last Monday, and has
not been seen or heard of since. He
is supposed to be a Louisville man.
The local police, are at work on
the case. Worth was fifty-fve years
old, gray-haired and tall. He wore
a long gray mustache and was fairly
dressed.
Horse Cave is supposed to extend
for miles below the surface of the
earth. 1t underlies the whole town,
which bears its name, and much of
the surrounding country, but no one
as far as can be ascertained, has yet
explored it fully. Many years ago a
horse while grazing near it fell into
an opening in the cavern and broke
its neck. Later a town was settled
there. which took its name from this
accident. II is near Mammoth cave,
With which it is supposed to have
subterranean connection.
