two years old fell into well at Ridge

alarm was given but the hole through
the stone that covered the well was too

years, passed through the aperture and
reached the water-some six feet deep
and lifted out the child. and by getting
it upon his head was enabled to reach
the top again, and to. deliver the almost
lifeless body 10 lis friends. The services
