BURIED IN A WELL.

ling Experience.

Random Lake, Wis, Dee. 19.-[Spe-
c;al. ]-August Schultz, well-digger re-
siding near here, had narrow escape
from death yesterday. He was stoniny
a we'll at Mr.. Geibs place, near Bolton
vile, Washington county, and had gone
down to a depth of thirty-two feet. He
started to move a piece of the curbing,
when the earth on one side of the we'll
gave way and forced the stone on all
sides in. Mr.. Schultz was buried be-
meath the earth and stones, but the tim
bers left an air hole, which no doubt
saved his life.
The men about the place at once start
ed the work of rescue, and it was just
fourteen hours later when Schultz was
taken out, more dead than alive. He
was nearly exhausted, but soon recovered
and is none the worse for his experience.
