Corryong in October 1894 "On the main road near Dr. Crooks residence, Corryong, a horse and dray was recently buried in the mud. By the aid of a couple of horses and half a dozen men the vehicle and horse were extracted after much difficulty. We won't moralise. The couple of man traps in the main street at Corryong are still set. In each of them (one opposite the bank and the other opposite the coffee palace) we noticed on different occasions strangers caught. The mud springs appear solid on the surface, and the unwary victims walked slap bang into them. It is reported, but we could not vouch for the truth of it, that one unfortunate person is now somewhere in the bowels of the earth, having made his exit from this mundane sphere by means of one of the said mud springs."
