Good Horse Buried in the Mud.

r. E. Tucker, Weston mountain
farmer, lost last week under pecul-
lar circumstances a beautiful bay
horse, one Of his driving team. The
horses were out in the pasture when
a violent wind and snow storm swept
over the mountain region. In en-
deavoring to reach the barn at even
ing for shelter, one Of the horses
broke through the icy crust Of snow
into ditch filled with slush and
slippery mud. The animal strug-
gled to free himself, only to sink
deeper and deeper into the slime and
chilling water. When Mr.. Tucker
found the creature in the morning
only his nose and a portion Of the
head were visible. Neighbors aided
the owner in digging the unfortunate
animal out of the mud, but exposure
brought on pneumonia which tcrmi-
mated fatally few days later. Mr..
Tucker valued the horse at $3.50.

Kentucky Explorers Discover Un-

by explorers. The cathedral" dome
rises 200 feet above the bed Of the
cave. 1t Is on a terraced ledge above
the floor of the newly discovered gal
lery that the skeleton was unearthed
from beneath a pile of drift.
Floyd Collins, on whose farm the
cave was found, discovered the skele-
ton. Oyerturning a huge boulder which
blocked a passageway, he thrust his
torch into the aperture and crawled
through.
AS far as he could see the torch cast
giant shadows on the walls. Others Of
the exploring party followed Collins
and, leaving a signal fire at the open
ing, they began Investigating the great
underground passage.
1t was while looking for drtftwood
for the signal fire that the skeleton
was unearthed. The skeleton was left
undisturbed and DIR. E. D. Turner Of

He pronounced 1t that of an aborigine.
