Est. 1-31-28 Rumbling Bald Mystery Solved By Scientists Lake Lure, July 28.—The mys tery of Rumbling Bald Mountain has geen solved. , ft. Members of the National Speleo logical Society, who show scant respect for the laws of gravity and the tempers of sleeping cooperhead snakes, came here from Washing ton and exploded the myth that the mountain’s rumble comes from the depths of the earth. The scientists crawled thru the precipitous fissures that honey comb the huge rock a thousand feet above Lake Lure, and found that the noise is caused by boulders which break loose from the top of subterranean crevices and thun der down to the bottoms of the caves. The shape of several of these caves is such that they act as sounding boards, and the rumble can be heard in the valley far below. The caves never had been ex plored fully before, the State News Pburau said.—Asheville Citizen, r Following is a list of books re cently added to the Lanier Library for distribution: King: Birds, book 3.

Saleeby, Filling Station Operator, Mortally Wounded S. A. Sialeeby, 55-year-old filling station operator of the Rock Cut section below Tryon, was instantly killed at 2:30 this morning by literally a barrage of heavy cali bre bullets that riddled his body and left it sprawled across the steps leading into the combination store and filling station. There were no eyewitnesses to the shoot ing but the shots aroused a daughter, M]rs. Jack Priest, who helped the aged man with the ser vice station, and the family of Charley Kershaw, who occupied living quarters in the basement of the building. According to Mr. Kershaw, who rushed upstairs im mediately upon hearing the shots, the sound of running feet could be heard going down the concrete of highway 176 in the direction of Landrum. No car was in sight, and the body of Mr. Saleeby, with the contents of his pocketbook scattered over the floor of the sta tion, was found in the doorway. The filling station is located next door to the dance hall where Jack Priest, son-in-law of the deceased was shot and seriously wounded several months ago. A brother of Priest and Roy Peace of Landrum were also wounded slightly in this affray. According to attaches of the Petty Funeral Home in Landrum who answered the call, Saleeby’s body was penetrated by no less than six bullets apparently of a heavy calibre. The body was re moved to the funeral home where an inquest is expected to be held Continved on Back Page
