A few days since a large gasoline
tank, with a capacity of over 10000
gallons arrived for the firm of Holt
& Hight For some time thereafter
crew of men were working digging
a large pit in which to put the mons
ter tank. At last it was lowered
into the ground and when the salts
fled workmen departed they felt that
few tons of iron, sunk many feet
into the ground would be perfectly
safe from all danger. Last Monday
morning members of the firm were
surprised to find that their large con-
tainer had become restless for it had
risen from its earthly bed and was
lying nearly on a level with the
street 1t appears that a quantity OF
water had flowed in under the tank
and in some manner had moved it
At this writing said tank has beer
so placed that nothing short of ar
earthquake could jar it,
