SINKING into RIVER

London, Ont, Jan. 13.-There is .
condition approaching panic in Turn
berry, near here, as the result of a Sc
ries of occurrences which indicate that
the land within its borders is sinking
into an underground river. Farmers in
the vicinity fear that their farms and
stock will be lost in the quicksands
which have developed, and the govern
ment has been asked to make an inves-
tigation4
The first indication Of the menace
came when section of road zoo feet
long sank so feet and was found to- be
spongy mass at it's base. Within a
few days plot many rods long sank
just outside of Belgrave and pool OF
water formed in the bottom of the hole
it made.
A geologist who stopped at Turn
berry, said that scientists believed q
large subterranean river connected
Lake Huron and Lake Erie, as small
fish peculiar TO Lake Ontario had been
found in Lake Huron within the last
few months.
