farm in Lafayette last week, when
the floor in the house suddenly gave
way, precipitating the buyers, about
40 in number, together with the auc-
tioneer, clerks and articles for sale,
into the basement. Those who were
there state that there was no gradual
settling Of the floor before it gave
way, but that it seemed to drop like
a trap door. AT first it was thought
that many had been injured, if not
killed, but when the excitement sub
sided and one by one crawled out
from under the mixture Of chairs,
crooks, chromos, and "other articles
too numerous to mention" !" it was dis
covered that, aside from few minor
scratches and bruises, no one was
worse for the tumble. Paul Ander-
son Of Medina was one Of those who
made the quick descent and was
slightly bruised.
