NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS,

CHILD IN A WELL. Last week
while W. Kalb was at work in field,
he felt an impulse to go to the house,
and on passing through the yard he
thought he heard faint cry for help
come from the well. He looked in
but saw nothing; just as he turned to
leave, a neighbor who accidentally
came by, was attracted by similar
cry, and also looked into the well
where he saw Mr.. KaIb's little grand
daughter, only six years old, elinging
to the wall, supported by a small
stick.
Alter little delay, amid much ex-
element the little girl was got out
almost utterly exhausted.
1t appears she had been playing
with something near the well, and
had dropped it down; that she had
then taken a rake to reach down for
it, and had fallen In herself .
The well was ten feet deep from
the top to the water, which was also
fifteen feet deep, and the rescue Of
the little innocent was almost provi-
dential.- BtIcyrtIs Journal,

saw him sitting there one minute be-
fore the assault. and, attracted by tho
noise, went to a window and saw
Officer Cottle strike him three blows
with club. Several witnesses swear
that the murdered man did not say a
word all the while. After all was
over, Bebb walked to the station
house, where he remained till morn
ing, when he was taken to the hos
pital, where he expired fifteen hours
after the beating. A post nlorte,n
showed the skull was fractured in
the region of the left temple. The
unfortunate man leaves a wife and
three small children. He was TWEEN
ty'seven years of age. Evidence is
