tom of a 30-foot we'll was problem that
confronted party of second warders on
Thursday The family COW of F. Giese
was pastured in Dr. Head s field in which
was we'll used for watering the stock.
The COWS gathered about the we'll to
drink when the one in question stepped
upon the we'll covering which gave way
and allowed the animal to slip into the
we'll, her head barely sticking out of the
water. A consultation was held and it
was decided that derrick erected over
the we'll with block and tackle would
accomplish the result. A rope was tied
about the neck of the COW and she was
raised to the surface and then it was
found the derrick was not high enough
to permit the landing of the animal. She
was let down into the we'll again while
the derrick was raised, but the rope re-
manned taut about the neck and when
the COW was raised again she was dead.
