NEWCRLCKFORMS|
Earth at Meade Opens in Strip
so Yards Long.
Story of unken Hot Water Pool
Is Recalled.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. 25.-Word
mas reached here of another earth
crack forming in Meade county, in
the same district in which the other
cracks have lately formed
This latest crack occurred Satur-
day, according to the story.
As L heard the story at Meade .
SAID the informant. the crack occur
driving some stock along the road
when he saw a big cloud of dust sud-
denly arise in pasture nearby. He
Investigated and found that the
ground had opened for a distance of
80 yards and about six feet wide at
the top. The crack extended several
teeg in DEPTH
Mr.. Imhotf said the new crack
formed not far from the district
where several weeks ago the ground
opened wide enough to bury a horse.
few days previously a mule belong
ing to w. a. Burford, of near Fowler,
sank through the crust of the earth
his body being almost swallowed.
The ''Sunken Pool"
These peculiar sinkings of the earth
are nothing particularly new in
Meade county. AS long ago as 1873
the surface of the ground in that
county suddenly sank in a circular
area over $50 feet in diameter, form
ing a depression with steep sides hav-
ing in the bottom pool OF water so
feet deep.
InlS peculiar Sunken lake still eX-
lists in the vicinity of Meade. 1t is
about 20 feet from the level of the
prairie around it to the surface of the
water in the sunken pool. Since it's
formation the pool has diminished in
depth due to accumulation of debris.
When this pool first formed the
water was boiling hot, according to
the statements of early settlers but
has since cooled. 1t is very salty, u
test of the water showing it to con-
tain 1913 parts of chlorine.
Swallowed a Man.
There is tradition in Meade coun-
ty that years ago a homeseeker camp
ing on a much used trail not far from
where Fowler stands now was swal-
lowed by a sudden opening of the
earth.
The earth opened without warning,
forming a cavity about sixty feet in
diameter, the ground sinking to a
depth of twenty-five or thirty feet.
The tradition has it that the man was
camped on that spot and that Meth
er he nor his camp was ever seen or
heard of again. Whether that part of
the story is true, the hole still remains
and is pointed out to visitors.
