May Lose His Life Through an Effort
to Rescue His Friend.
Charlottesville, Ind. April H.--Rich-
ard Bennett lost his life In a well filled
with black damp. Edward Reynolds,
his companion, may also die through
injuries received trying to rescue his
companion. Bennett once saved Rey-
nolds from drowning, and It was no
fault of the latter that he did not re-
pay the debt. The men were digging q
well, and had reached depth Of so
feet. They returned after dinner to
resume work, and Bennett was the first
to 60 down. Half way to the bottom
he was overcome, and fell out Of the
bucket. Reynolds knew the trouble was
due to foul gases, but without hesits-
ton started down to the rescue. He.
too, tainted and fell.
Reynolds recovered consciousness, and
a rope was lowered, but he refused to
accept the chance of escape. Instead
he attached the rope to Bennett, and
the dead body was dragged out. Rey-
noIds had Just life enough to tie the
rope about himself when 1t was next
lowered, and was hauled out insensible
and almost dead. The chances ere
against his recovery.
