Concord, Special.-Reports come
from Mount Pleasant Of an heroic
action which should commend the ac-
tor to the Carnegie hero metal COM
mittee. A few days ago several men
were at the bottom of large we'll at
work. A bucket was being let down
to them in which were six loaded
dynamites, which would have ex-
ploded on the slightest jar. By some
means the rope slipped ard the heavy
bucket fell to the bottom and all
thought this meant sure death to the
men below. But Mr.. Ernest Faggart,
one of the men in the well, saw the
falling bucket and with great bravery
caught it and thereby saved the lives
of all below. He was bruised consid-
cradle but was not seriously hurt.
