Wild Cat Hollow-

On Thursday of last week Dr. Littlefield, Marion Merrit and David Rhea, all resonsible men, were roaming around over the rocky wilds of Wild Cat Hollow on Farmers Creek. They came to a large hole in the bluff in which they had chased several wolves. They at once proceeded to enter the den and after going in about 150 feet discovered to their surprise that they were in a house not made by hands, a cave with large rooms, smooth surface and beautiful stalactites hanging from the ceiling. After viewing the beauties of nature for a time, they withdrew, forgetting what had led them into the cavern.
