Fell Into n Well.

Two COWS and school "marm" fell
into we'll on the Mcintosh iarm In
Warsaw township, Jefferson county,
recently. One COW had her neck broken
and the other COW and school "marm"
escaped with a few bruises and bad
scare for the young lady. The WE'LL
which was near the barn, was about
twelve feet deep, but was not finished
yet and had been covered up with
boards SO that no one could fall into it,
When the chores were done In the eve
ming the barn door was left open unn-
tentionally and the cows got out and
fell into the we'll sometime during the
night. Mr.. and Mrs. Craven were
away from home that night and the
school 'marm" was to help do the mill
Ing and other work before school time
In the morning and she got up early
and started to the barn before daylig ht.
She didn't know the cows we're In the
well and the hole In the ground was I'M
covered ready to swallow her, and she
walked into the open we'll and fell
down, down to the bottomless pit at
least II seemed so to teacher, and she
alighted on top OF COW. Such an ,x-
perience in the darkness OF the early
morning was enough to frighten even
school "marm," and it did.

this place met and defeated the strong
Company II team OF Rldgway. In spite
Of the cold weather large crowd was
In attendance. The difference In the

than pounds, Ridgway having the ad-
vantage. Ridgway was outplayed In
nearly every point while their team
work showed thorough training and
practice. The national football ability
Of the Indians" kept the play we'll in
Ridgways' territory, the first half
ending with score.
In the second half Ridgway again
showed good work In their strong line
plunging but we're generally thrown
back for losses. On fake play Gibson
carried the ball from the center OF the
field around left end for touch down.
A nice goal was kicked. Williams and
Bohrens' three inch gain on forward
pass was feature Of the second half.
Another chance for score was open to
Frank Bohren. He cleared right end
and with open field before him was sure
OF a touch down but interference by
spectators caused him to fall, losing
the ball. The game ended go In favor
Of the Indians" Reynoldsville should
feel proud Of their team and the Buys
should be highly commended on their
good work.
The game was played on G. c. Glib
sons vacant lots on Fifth street, the
regular ball grounds being covered with
