Prom THURSDAYS DAIIs

FROM THURSDAYS DaIIs
Some peculiar tricks of nature are
uncovered in the excavations that
have been made by Alexander Bash
aw in carrying out his contract to
lay a sewer and drain tile along
Fountain street, TO make habitable
the region of Fountain and North
Fifth streets. This is an enterprise
of W. ID. Willard.
Right at the intersection OF these
streets is a flowing spring. For many
years that spring has powerfully
forced itself upward through the
ground from great depth. building
up a soft spongy mound. The cen
ter of this mound is right at the
street intersection. Nothing but sur
vey lines and the excavation that is
made for the sewer and drain tile,
exist TO mark the streets at this place.
The place has always been impas-
sable to a team.
A great bog has existed here from
days that go farther back than his
tory reaches. Here buffalo, deer,
horses and cattle have been caught
and mired. and their bones, which dug
up by the workingmen. tell the story
The other day big iron rod, at
tached to a rope, was lowered into
that spring and II went down all OF
forty-flve feet.
