 Going up Bill Williams avenue yes terday afternoon Dr. A. G. Rounse- vile heard board rattle over the wen near the site of the steam laundry ruins. The small boy who was seated there only moment before had disap- peared as though the earth had swal- lowed him up. The doctor hurried to the well, the surface of which is sev- eral feet below the boards. Inc method of rescue had to be quick, and it involved much peril. The father of the boy, E. Lane, who had been ap- prised of the accident, lowered Dr Rounseville into the we'll maintaining firm hold on his heels. The lad was caught just as he bobbed to the sur face for the last time. He was uncon- scious, but was soon revived Neigh boring Chinese laundrymen had re moved the cover of the we'll to procure water, and left it unprotected. Dr. Rounseville'S feat in rescuing the boy was warmly praised-Williams News.
 Railroad men at 3:15 Wednesday morning discovered fire in Wheeler & Perrys warenOuse, near the railway station, at Tucson. An alarm was turned in, and repeated several times, both by the fire bell and whistle. The fire was found to be in the basement
 and was put out before it had made much headway. Considerable damage was done, however, a rough estimate pul,,ng the loss at $500. Considerable four in sacks and o.Aer goods were damaged, chiefly by water, but Wheeler & Perry think the insurance will cover their loss In the basement were
 stored a lot of pictures, vases and
 other household goods, of more than
 average value, belonging to ex-Mar- shal W. K. Meade, and .. IS feared they
 were badly damaged. Iney were not insured. MT. Meade, by the way, is in Alaska, and his wife is in Los An geles. The origin of the fire is un- known, but it is thought there were some matches among MT. Meades goods, and that rats or mice got at them. A majority of tne fires in ware houses originate in that way. The fire was put out by the railroad people though the department was out with the apparatus.
