A BOYS EXPERIENCE.
Falls In Well, Is Nearly Drowned
and Scared Into Activity by n

and Scared Into Activity by a
MOccasin.
Waycross, Ga. June 2s.-Willie Bladen,
whose father, William Baden, dairy
man, lives about one mile from town, fell
into well forty feet deep yesterday and
came near losing his life. 1t seems that
viii. who is u years old, and Charlie
Hart, 10, were sent out to the field to
work. About i6 O'Clock they went to an
old we'll to get some water. While draw
ing 1T Will lost his balance and fell in
head foremost. Charlie, seeing his COM
panion disappear down the shaft, did not
lose his head, but began to let the bucket
down as fast as he could, hoping that
his friend might grab the rope. But on
striking water Will went under, and, ac-
cording to Charles, never reappeared for
some minutes. 1t is possible he would
not have risen but for the fact that an
old bottllng block which at some time
had fallen in the we'll and upon which
he had fallen. 1t went down beneath his
weight, but when the force of the fall
was spent 1t buoyed his half-dead body
again to the surface.
Will was too much hurt to stir until
he espied huge moccasin in close prox-
unity to MIN. ana the stimulus was
enough to start him yelling for the buck
ct to be FASTENED down to his rescue. His
friend soon got 1t to him, and he lost
no time in swinging into the bucket and
Charles cautiously drew him to the outer
world once more.
The boy was carried home in a badly
bruised condition, and this morning was
suffering with fever from his experience.
VIII says the snake scared him worse
| than the fall hurt him.
Lightning struck the home of Mrs. S.
| E. German yesterday, and badly wrecked

A Peculiar Case.

il. Wheeler, who made his home for
long time with Mr.. and Mrs. w. d.
Lillybridge and who died about year
ago at the soldiers home, left small
amount of money and two women, one
from New York and one from Starke
county, both claiming to be his widow
and want the money. 1t seems that he
married a lady in New York. whom he
deserted and came to this state, marry
ing a lady from Stsrke county. If the
lady from Starke county can prove that
he was divorced from the lacy of New
Y ork, she will receive the money and if
not, the other lady will get it. Part of
the evidence was heard before Judge
Cspron Monday.
The lady from New York as soon
as she heard of the death Of Mr.
Wheeler, applied to the pension board
at Washington for pension, stating that
she was his widow and the pension was
granted to her.

all they can to injure their compet-

A Young Couple from Maxinkuekee Liza
bile to Serious Trouble.
Charles Chisenberg and Grace SDOkes,
of the Msxinkuckee neighborhoOd, in
Marshall county, came TO Rochester
last week, and contracted more trouble
than is customary in matrimonial con-
tracts. They went to the clerks Office,
represented that they live in this
county near Ricbland Center, and that
they are aged 2l and I9, respectfully.
On this representation they were
granted a marriage license and Judge
Troutmsn was called and performed
the marriage ceremony.
Soon after they were gone word came
from Plymouth that they had applied
for license there, but it was refused
for the reason that the girls guardian
had warned the clerk that she ls not
yet Is years old. She draws a pension
as soldiers orphan and her marriage
not only stops this, but puts both of the
young people in a position liable to
severe punishment for misrepresenting
their ages. 1t also makes the clerk
and the officiating magistrate liable to
prosecution if anyone should institute
proceedings, but they say the couple
lied to them with such apparent earn
estness that they were completely de
ceived 1t is reported that the judge
and the clerk took fast team to over.
