A Fearful Plunge and Heroic Res

A Fearful Plunge and Heroic Res
cue.
(Dss Moines Correspondence Of the Chicago
Tnbune.]
On Sunday last Belle Mason, %
years Of age, was nursing sick friend,
and at 5 o'clock In the morning, she
went to the we'll to get glass Of water
for the sick girl. While she was rails
ing the bucket with q pulley rope
dog ran against her and the curbing
being slippery, threw her feet from un'
der her and she plunged head first in
to the we'll, which was twenty one feet
deep to the water and the latter six
feet deep. Below the bottom Of the
well proper was hoe drilled through
q stratum Of rock forty fe-t and large
enough to admit the body Of a man,
which, fortunately the girl escaped
Rising to the surface she uttered a
scrpam. After several immersons she
got hold Of the bucket and waited for
help. Avery McCupe, a young man,
without thought Of peril, descended
the we'll, picked his way along the
wall, reaching the girl as she had near
lv become exhausted. Clasping her
under one arm, the heroic fellow re-
traced his way, as he went down, and
PLACED her on the surface, when
she swooned completely. When 1t is
considered that she weighs l30 pounds,
added to which were her water soaked
garments, and that she was 50 exhaust
ed as to be perfectly helpless, the
nerve and pluck Of the Young man are
apparent.
