LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE
GrNat Boulder Fell 200 Feet From
Cliff Near Murphysborot-Threw
Dirt So Yards.
(Murphysboro independently

A rock which for countless ages
has stood out at the top of Fountain
Bluff two hundred feet above the val
ley and just around the turn of the
bluff at Leo Rock, fell with a crash
last Thursday and buried itself in
the ground
Alois Smith lives seventy-fiye yards
from the spot where the rock hit the
valley, and his cistern is only few
feet from the spot. Mr.. Smith heard
l loud noise like the report of a gun,
between II and L o'clock Thursday
morning. or Friday, after the big rain
last week, and looking out saw the
cock fall and isappear IN the ground.
The rock is about half as large as
a box car, and must weigh several
IONS. 1t sunk into the wet earth,
irt falling on top of II and cover
ng it,
The top of the rock Is four feet be-
ow thesurface of the earth, by ac-
tual measurement. 1t threw dirt a
distance of 50 yards, as measured by
Mr. Smith. A cedar tree carried from
the top of the bluff was hurled So
yards from the rock.
For many years people have seen
the big mass of rock projecting from
the top of the bluff, and wondered
when it would fall The country ROAD
is only few feet from where the
rock fell.
On the north the rock face of Foun-
tain Bluff rises from the valley as
straight as the wall of house and
attains a height of about 200 feet
The east side of the bluff is steer
hill. covered with earth and trees
and part of the south side is the
same, though some of it Is too steer
to climb At the south end the bluff
terminates in very steep hill, Al
Grand Tower, four or five miles from
the north bluff.
Mr.. Smith states that when the
falling rock struck the earth his
house shook as though an earthquake
was rocking 1t, and the first thought
the rock had fallen into his cistern.
