CAVE IN OF EARTH
AT REELFOOT LAKE.

on the blum overlooking ReelfOot Lake
\ cave-in on a large area Of earth
on the blum overlooking Rcrifoot Lake
is creating great deal Of interest
among those who frequently visit the
famous hunting and fishing resort. as
well as considerable excitement among
the citizens Of the lake region This
giving away Of a hinge piece Of earth
occurred some ten days ago. about one
mile north of Samburg. and directly
on top of the blum near the Indian
Mound. The bottom seems 10 have
dropped out OF the earth. allowing the
road TO drop into "A hole some forty
feet deep. and thirty of forty
feet wide The walls of the hole are
perfectly perpendicular. while the dirt
from the roadbed does not near fill
the cavity. indicating a large recess
that point ten days ago. For large
area surrounding the cave-in the earth
Is gaping and showing signs of further
damage in that vicinity. while some
300 yards further north there has
been another eave-in- put much small
CT than the one at Indian Mound.
Those who have read and have been
told the weird tales of the forming of
Reelfoot Lake by the earthquake in
February 1872. when the Mississippi
river at Cape Girardeau, Mo. receded
and flowed up stream for a number of
days. feel some degree of excitement
and uneasiness upon looking at this
gigantic hole caused by the earth sink
ing few days ago. The destruction
Of the road at this particular point
may change the course OF travel to
and from Samburg. as II will be a diff
ficult job to build new road along
side of the blum and by the side of
the late cave-in. and ii is quite likely
an entrance TO the lake at Samburg
may be gained by way of Boil Pratt's
farm, going down long slant from
the top of the BLUM. making less grade
10 climb and less difficulty TO loaded
vehicles of all kinds. but some greater
distance of about "A mile.
