murrer filed in the case of the Ad-

tanned by Judge Garland, the case

BOTTOM FOUND.
70 Lake Which Disappeared During
Flood Of 26 Years AGO.

fiOo0 OF 20 Years ago.
Two miles from the mammoth ice
gorge, on the farm Of julius Gunderson
in Gunderson's bend. near Vermillion
is a small lake which for a number OF
years after the flood OF 1881 was
known as the "bottomless lake." This
little body of water has been attract
ing a great deal of attention Of late.
although to the casual observer 1t is
nothing more than a small slough or
draw In its present frozen state. But
it has a history. this lake of two o d
In width and twenty rods in length.
In 1881 when the food waters OF
the Missouri overflow had receded
there was left between the farm
home of Mr.. Gunderson and his feed
yards an opening in h earth that
could not be accounted for. 1t was
filed with water clear to the top.
AND has eve since remained In that
state. Shortly after the food an ef-
fort was made to discover the depth
OF the small lake, but the bottom
could not be found. There was
seemingly no bottom there.
But today the aperture is closed.
and 1t is easy to find bottom at any
point at a depth of twenty-five feet.
This has occurred since the present
gorge formed two weeks ago. The
narrow assure In the earth has closed,
though what has disturbed the opening
is a mystery.
A peculiar feature OF the bottom
less lake" is the act that ever since
It was left there 1t has constantly
kept pace with the Missouri river in
the way OF rising and falling. In the
| spring when the freshetS occur, and
a little later on during the annual
| June rise, the waters Of the lake rise
and fall with the Big Muddy. The
lake is two miles from the Missouri
| river in any direction. The water is
always clear, strange to say, and res
idents of the bend say it is the very
finest for drinking purposes. Many
of them will use nothing else for
cooking purposes.
No explanation Of the former depth
OF the "bottomless" LAKE can be given.
but it is supposed that the waters OF
1881 wore of the earth to crack
below which has existed for ages. AS
to the effect on the lake from the
rise and fall OF the Missouri the theO-
ry is entertained than for rlany miles
In any direction from the government
stream the under strata is thoroughly
soaked at all times. The soil in Gun
derson's Bend is said to be of the very
best, and during the years when
farmers on the bluffs were complain
ing Of drouth those on these lowlands

In fact they have no failure Of crops

in face Of the fact that only about
a foot to a foot and a half Of black
dirt covers a strata of sand under
