Bragg's arte- sian we'll and has watched with curiosity or interest the progress of the work. On | Tuesday afternoon vein of sand was struck or at least commenced flowing through seam in the rock near the bottom of the we'll. The sand flowed so rapidly as to clog or firmly fasten the drill in the we'll. The steam holster was set in motion to lift the drill from the we'll but the drill was so firmly held by the sand that the steam power ap- piled to lift the drill pulled down the derrick or mast instead of lifting the drill. Mir Gaylord was standing neal the we'll when the derrick fell and the mast swept past him with great force within less than six inches of his head.
