Heroic Eflorts to Save Her.
Oarfiki.d, Cctober 14. Mrs. Pcilriok fell
In well oti Friday of last week ami re
niaineil lliere alioiit ?J hours as near as
can be learned. She was alone at the time
except a little child three or four years old,
the older children being at school and the
husband at work some five miles away.
She went to draw water about noon, anil
being subject to tits it is supposed she had
fit and fell feet foremost into the well, as
otherwise she would have drowned, there
being IS inches of water in the well at the
time. Her son on returning from school
met the smaller child playing some dis
tance from the house. He went on home
and looked around tot the mother, hut not
seeing her supposed she must have gvine to
a neighbor's. He got himself a lunch and
went to bed. The next morning he heard
his mother calling, and on searching found
her in the well. He procured a short lad
der and lowered it into the well up which
the mother climbed, but she was too far
from the top to get out. The boy then
caught a pony and went for his father, pass
ing on the way ten residences where people
were living and one school, yet never told
till he got to his father. Tha fattiar has
tened home, and as a neighbor whom he
met inquired w hy such haste the news soon
spread. A longer ladder was procured
from a near neighbor and she was halped to
the earth again after 22 hours spent stand
ing, lying or sitting in IS inches of cold wa
ter. After being put to bed she did not
seem much the worse for the experience
except a bruised knee and forehead.

bad by fire last night. But for a neighbor

wife were away. The neighbor fought the
fire down and then went for help to finish
controlling the fire, thus saving the prop
erty. Mrs. Lindex is not expected to live. She
overworked herself a short time ago and has
been sick ever since. Dr. C. B. Smith bas
