Dunn .discovered the animal about 8 a. m. in the well in the barnyard. It had apparently been stampeded during the night and one board capping the well had broken, allowing the 20 months old colt to fall through. , Water was within a few feet of the top of the well and the colt was still alive and struggling when Mr. Dunn found it. He called neighbor N. John Hansen, county extension agent, who held on to the colt's halter to keep its head above water while he rigged his tractor to pull the animal out. The colt died a few minutes after being extricated from the well, apparently from exposure to the cold and excitement. It was a quarter horse and was almost old enough to break. It showed no visible injury.

Hollywood Wonders By JACK QUIGG Hollywood, June 21 WV-Little girl, what now? That was the Question on Hollywood's lips today as it recovered from shocking news that Judy Garland, a child star who lost none of her lustre with maturity, slashed her throat in a fit of despair over her career. Fishmonger Refugee Swears Vengeance for Brother's Death New York, June 21 (U.R) German refugee Benjamin Krieger, 42, swore vengeance today in his Brooklyn fish shop against the murderer of his brother. Krieger, who came to the United States nine months ago after years in nazi concentration camps, saw a stranger pause outside his store yesterday. - The face of the man, Meyer Mittelman, 33, appeared familiar. "Were you in Auschwitz, Da chau, Muldorf?" the burly fish monger den.anded, listing the three camps where he was im prisoned during the war. "Yes," answered -Mittelman, who runs a kosher chicken slaughter market on Long Island. I was at Muldorf." "Then you killed my brother," Krieger shouted. "You beat me that day too." He began to pum mel Mittelman who finally broke away and ran two blocks to a bookstore. Krieger cornered him there, and about 100 neighborhood friends, many of them former concentration camp victims, ga thered around, muttering threats at the man cowering behind the book store door. Police arrived before any phy sical harm was done, and Mit telman refused to press assault charges. "Let's forget the whole business, he said. He denied he was the trusty who killed Krieger's older brother with an iron pot and gashed Krieger on the head with the same weapon. But Krieger, pointing to the concentration camp n u m e r a Is 89936" tattooed on his left fore arm, said he wouldn't forget. He said he would tell his story to the district attorney and federal immigation officers. Sleeper Drops to Death Hong Kong, June 21 ) Lan Yun-Jen, 20, tried to beat the tropical heat last night by sleep ing on a second story veranda. Turning in his sleep, he dropped 20 feet to his death in the street. Even helicopters contribute to the makeup of New York City's commuting system. Miss Garland's studio, MGM, suspended her Saturday and re moved her from the cast ot her latest picture after she failed to show up for rehearsal wun Fred Astaire. 4- C Monday night, during a con ference about her problems with her husband and advisers, she ran into her bathroom and slash ed her throat with a broken glass. Her doctor said the wound is superficial. Some say this means the star. who has had marital and health troubles recently, too, is washed up at 29. Others contend mom would never cut adrift an actress whose recent films have grossed about $5,000,000 each. One thing is certain: The "little girl with the big voice' has almost everybody's sympa thy. It's no secret that her health has suffered in recent years. Since May, 1949, she has been receiving treatment for a ner vous condition. In addition, she has had to diet to combat a tendency toward plumpness. Judy has frequently said she wants to cotninue her career. Her studio considers her one of its biggest attractions. Yet it has replaced her in three films in two years because she "caused us embarrassment, delay, incon venience and loss of morale among co-workers." One spokes man said she added as much as 20 per cent to the cost of film. Just what, exactly, is the trou ble has been the subject of speculation and rumor. This much is fact: The first indication that she and MGM were having trouble was her removal from the cast of "Barkleys of Broadway" in 1948 because she was "physical ly unable to play the role.' In March, 1949, Judy an nounced she and her second hus band, Vincente Minelli, director of some ot her best films, were separating. They are now recon ciled. In May, after a month of cost ly shooting on "Annie Get Your Gun," she was dropped for "not reporting to work." MGM sent her to Boston for a "long rest" ana financed medical treatments. Two months later Judy was back, 15 pounds heavier and ask ing for work. She rested six months, made 'Summer Stock," which is get ting good reviews, but was sus pended again Saturday for "con tinually delaying" rehearsals for Royal Wedding." Her manager, Carlton Alsop, was quoted as saying after the cutting: "It's a shame she was called to work so soon. Judy is broke. In Mary Pickford's day you wound up owning Unit ed Artists. But in Judy Gar land's day, with all the taxes, you wind up with nothing, de spite a big salary." Miss Garland s contract is still in force and studio executives said they expect she will make more films under it Probably, it will be up to Judy whether or not she does. She is a proven trouper from a showbusiness family. In vaude ville at three, she sang her way Into a movie contract at 12 and was a star two years later. She is still on top. And Judy's friends are betting she'll fight to stay there. . -.1. r-v-s 1-f ' . Joe Doakes In the Ameri can lingo, "Joe Doakes" stands for the average fellow, "the little man." But there is an actual Joe Doakes. He is J. Joseph Doakes (above), a Blnghamton, N. Y., carpenter. He says he considers himself an average American.
