At TIcA MYSTERY
HAS Been SOLVED
BIG HOLE IN GROUND TURNED
OUT 70 BE MEETING PLACE
FOR GANG.

Attica, Dec. 29.-The great Attica
mystery has been solved.
Some weeks ago residents OF this
town and vicinity were startled ia
learn that huge hole in the earth
had appeared Just west of the town
limits The hole was seventeen feet
long, eight feet wide and Ave feet
deep.
All sorts OF theories were offered
in the way Of explanation. One was
that somebody had found the secret
hiding place of buried treasure and
had excavated for the long lost wealth
another was that tablets bearing
secrets OF the Mormon church had
been buried there years ago in the
long Mormon trek westward and had
Just been dug up; still another was
that meteor had fallen from tho sky
and torn the big hole into the earth.
Altogether the hole furnished con-
siderably more than seven days
wonder for folk around here. And then
the explanation came.
Some Of the boys Of the town, desir-
ing to have q secret meeting place
during the winter, had dug the hole
and intended to roof 1t over. The hole
was found before the youngsters could
put a roof and either fearing punish
ment or enjoying the amazement Of
their parents they had kept silent
about 1t.
