man could not get out, and so the
leader look his place. A great many

bass drummer than it did in getting
men to handle the heavy brass and

vent the young mans death from star
walton. He is subsisting on raw corn
and has already thrown down four
bushels of cobs and it is now thought
that his supply is almost exhausted.

of over eighty feet to get below the de-
posits of shale and rock which inter-
vened between good water, and when
the last ledge was pierced artesian
flows followed with great force. The
stream is nearly six inches thick and
was thrown out of the mouth of the
well to height of over thirty feet.

and the flow seems inexhaustible.
