WATER BODY UNDER GROUND.
Sinking of Earth in South Dakota In.
dicates Subterranean River.

The recent sinking to a depth Of
from fifteen to thirty feet Of con-
siderable area of land on the ranch
of Samuel Alleman near the Missouri
river in the central part of South Da-
kota, has given rise to the theory that
underlying that part of the state is
a large subterranean cave, river or
lake, and that the sudden collapse of
the early crust and the dropping down
of several acres on the Alleman ranch
was due either to the collapse of the
roof of an immense cave under the
ground at that point, or to the col
lapse of the earth roof of an under
ground river or lake.
Hundreds of people are daily visit
ing the scene of the phenomenon. The
collapse of earth took place on the
eastern edge of a small plateau about
six hundred feet from the Missouri
river, where the land begins to slope
eastward into a literal ravine:
The collapse disturbed twenty-one
acres on the steep side of the ravine,
thrusting it out fifteen feet and
throwing a fence out of line. 1t was
not a landslide, but vertical falling
of the earth's crust, which has left a
huge trough in the center.

COLUMBIA WOMAN SUICIDES.
Locks Self in Room to Take Her Own
Life.

Columbia June 12.-Despondent
and worried by unexplained fears,
Mrs. Mabel Gerald, wife Of E. H.
Gerald, locked herself in her room at
her home at the corner of Ridgewood
street and Lakewood avenue, Eau
Claire, early yesterday afternoon and
there shot herself in the head d to fall
dead across a bed. Two shots were
fired, one of the balls entering the
right temple and passing entirely
through the head, to strike the wall
and bounce back under the bed.
Death was almost instantaneous.
E. H. Gerald, Mrs. Gerald's hus-
band, was at a we'll in the yard about
ten or fifteen yards away from the
house at 1890 o'clock when he heard
the two shots, he says. His wife, Mr..
Gerald said, had complained of feel
ing i'll during the morning and sur
missing the fact that she had killed
herself he set down the bucket of
water and called to several men, who
were standing on the edge of the
Ridge wood golf course at the corner
of the two streets. These men, Alva
Lumpkin, Frank Broadnax, John l..
Mimnaugh, Hugh Wilson and G. N.
Nichols, answered his calls and came
over to the house, where through the
window they could see the body on
the bed. The door, however, was
barred from within and all of the
windows screened and covered with
heavy fence wire.

ments for burial.

Columbia feels m = relieved that
these executions have been held. The
community is now awaiting the exc
cution of two other young white men
who were convicted of killing Mr..
Annette, and whose cases are now on
appeal to the supreme court after
their sentence to electrocution.
A brief history of the BrazeH case
may be of interest. Young Brazell
was murdered during the night of
August Z, last year. The three men
engaged his car to take them to Au-
lgusta, whence they were to go to
Florida to sell the car, after they had
black-jacked the driver and left him
on the roadside. The young driver
was black-jacked as the party travel
ed through Lexington county, but the
blackja jack broke. Then to complete
their job they had to put the chauf-
feur out of the way. Kirby devised
the scheme of killing him. He or
dered Gappins to infict the death
wound, but the young man refused.
Then Fox was ordered, and he obey
ed, the knife being jabbed into the
young Columbian's body and twister
around several times for each opera
tion.~ The body, was thrown in the
underbrush near the road and, the
three men proceeded on to Augusta.
After leaving Augusta short dis
tance, the men had tire trouble, and
stopping to get help, Kirby told of
their criminal act, and they were ar
rested. The next day, August 9,
Kirby was brought back to Lexington
and he assisted officers in finding the
body of young Brazell. Later he was
brought to the penitentiary, escap-
ing efforts of band of men to get
him.
Fox and Gappins were held in Au-
gusta. A mob stormed the Jail, in an
effort to get them. Later they were
taken to Savannah, and thence in
dead of night they were smuggled to
Charleston, and several days later
still they were brought to Columbia,
after mob had searched trains and
automobiles and guarded roadsides
for days, in an effort to get hold Of
the two men.
All three of the men confessed to
the killing. On the witness stand
in Lexington, when they were tried
last September, they told unfinch-
ingly, the horrible details of the
crime, and then on September IA,
they were convicted and sentenced to
the electric chair, October 21, being
set as the date for their execution.
All three appealed, however, and
their appeals stayed their executions.
The appeals, without merit, were
never perfected, and on motion of
Solicitor Callison in Lexington on
May %, they were again sentenced
to die, this time June 16, beng set as
the date.
Vain attempts have been made in
recent weeks to have the governor
save the lives of the prisoners.
Petitions for their communication have
been presented in behalf Of Gappins
and Fox, these signed by some of the
jurors who convicted them. But to
all these the governor turned deaf
ear, and the justice of the law was
maintained.
