Commissioners Beat st. Joseph.
When the game between ST. Joseph and
the Commissioners was called at the ex-
piration of the fifth inning yesterday the
score stood 10 to 8 in favor of the Dis
trict Building outfit.
Wet grounds and inclement weather
were partly responsible for the large num-
Der of runs piled up by each team. Hun
ter started the twirling for ST.. Joseph,
but could not last, being replaced by
Jimmie Kerr at the beginning of the
fourth round. Handiboe twirled for the
Commissioners, and considering the sup
port he received, he pitched a good game.

AS Taylor rode past the Webb school
on his trip to notify the farmers OF
the accident, and ask for assistance,
the children were having their recess
and. hearing the news, reported 1t to
their teacher.
At this time Mr.. Hedger was visit
ing Webb school He is man OF
herculean build, standing five feet ten
inches and weighing 207 pounds, and
as soon as he learned of the accident
he rushed from the schoolhouse and
ran all the two miles to the site OF the
well and found large number OF men
already gathered there, but none OF
whom was making any effort at res
cuing the imprisoned men.
He looked into the well, heard King
pleading for his life and, turning to
the crowd asked for some one who
would volunteer to go with him TO the
rescue of the men.
There was a silence of several min
utes, not one CT the men offering to
lend any assistance, and Hedger said.
Never mind; | will go alone, and
God helping me will bring the men to
the top, and, fer my childrens sake,
hope | also will get back to the
| top"
| With one of the most noted demon

IRENE danger on record he stopped
only long enough to make his will and
to arrange for the handling of his

death while in the well or as a result
of his descent into it.
As soon as he reached the bottom
and a shovel WIS lowered to him he
commenced work to release King, and
when part of his body had been uncov'
cred an effort was made to draw him
out, but this failed because the body
of Num- had fallen across the legs of
King and pinioned him. Then all of
| the sand was removed and NUNS
body was uncovered, but he was dead,
The body was laid to one side and
King was raised to the surface more
dead than alive. The rope was again
lowered into the WELL and then Hedger
tied the rope about the body of the
dead man and, losing sight Of the
danger in which he was, insisted that
the body be raised before he at
tempted to make his own escape.
1t required from two to two and one
half hours to get the two men and
the rescuer from the well. No pre-
caution was made to wall the sides
of the well to prevent further cave
in before Hedger made his sensations
al descent, and the only care taken
was that one man was to watch the
side of the well where it looked more
likely that there would be a further
cave-in, and If such thing occurred
this man was to shout warning to
Hedger. and he from the bottom OF
the well was to make an effort to gel
away from the deluge of sand by
climbing up the two-inch pipe.

to the windlass and caught the little
dog, but could not climb out There
was no place to stand and finally he
made loop in the rope in which he
put his foot and this helped to re.
lieve the strain. He was compelled to
relinquish his grasp of the dog. The
animal fell into the water and was
drowned.
For 16 hours Ray remained in the
well. He sang songs, told stories to
himself and laughed TO keep his
strength AMI courage.
Through oil the long night the man
grapsed the rope. hoping that some
one would come in time to save him,
but as the time passed, as hour after
hour followed and no one came, he
began to lose hope.
Finally, just as he thought he must
give up, he saw man looking into
the we'll. 1t was A. p. Solberg, a
neighbor, who came after team OF
horses, and knowing that Ray must
be at home somewhere, started to
search for him. He quickly pulled
Ray out of the we'll Upon reaching
the top, Ray, exhausted, lost his grip
and would have fallen back had not
Solberg grasped him.
"Solberg looked like an angel with
the blue sky as background Ray
said after his rescue.

hundreds of feet of the strong netting.
The only way to secure such a saw
age and powerful creature was 10
shoot 1t, and this was done. When
finally drawn ashore 1t was found that
the lion weighed about 500 pounds.
1t was about midnight when Cas-
sonelli and Stotezo put out in their
sail launch bound for Lime Point to
begin fishing for rock cod and sea
bass. AT the point they let down their
net and had just begun to fill their
pipes when suddenly their boat began
they had caught shark, and they be-
gan with all haste to pull in the long
net, shaking 1t vigorously as they did
so.
Then the unseen creature in the
net began straining until the lines tore
through their hands. The prov of the
boat was almost submerged, and for a
time Cassonelli and his companion
feared they would be dragged under
water
Suddenly the lines became slack.
The thing enmeshed was coming
toward the surface. They prayed that
it would free itself and so escape;
but they were sorely disappointed.
The lines remained slack for only a
few seconds, and then they found
that they were being towed rapidly
out toward the open sea.
At first the boat moved slowly, but
in the course of few minutes 1t was
moving at rate of ten miles an hour

later the light on Mile Rock was
twinkling astern,
Vainly they endeavored to row in
the opposite direction, but found that
useless. They could not even slacken
the speed of their craft. Out at the
Heads they thought that the wind
might aid them, and so set the sails
so that they might turn around as
they moved forward; but that did
them no good whatever. Finally,
when they thought they would never
again reach the shore, the tide came
to their relief.

ly concluded that dragging the heavy
boat against the strong tide was no
easy task. so 1t gradually worked
around and started back, 10 the mex,

They managed to steer the craft up to
the "Fishermans Wharf" where the
sea lion revealed itself and met its
fate.

Haskell county, who, while visiting a
school in an adjoining county as a
favor to a friend, also a superintend-
ent of schools, learned of an accident
In well that was being repaired two
miles distant and without a moment of
ming the entire distance, succeeded,
after every other man there had re-
fused even to assist him. in saving the
life of one man and recovering the
body Of another which had been buried
in two tons of sand 80 feet below the
surface of the ground.
The scene of the accident and heroic
rescue is on the farm of William II.
Num-. who was killed. about six
miles southwest of the village of
Pierceville. Kan. through which the
Arkansas river winda its way
On the southern side of the Arkan-
sas river is chain of sand hills about
20 miles long, and it was in this forma
ton the accident happened. The
Num- farm is located In about the cen
ter of these hills. A we'll ~ feet deep
had been drilled on this property
about year previous and had be-
come clogged, although cased up with
two-inch pipe.
The sand point or screen had failed
to work properly for several days, and
an excavation about four feet square
was made with the well casing In one
corner of the hole. There was no
platform at the top of the we'll, but a
derrick about 20 feet high had been
built over the opening. The excava-
ton was not walled up and there was
no water at the 32-foot depth, where
the trouble was located. The weather
was fair, with moderate temperature,
and the sun was shining brightly.
Rains during a few previous days had
caused the sand to be very wet.
When William Num- decided to re-
pair his well he asked the assistance
of Joseph H. King and w. r. Taylor,
neighboring farmers. The sand point
used in clearing out the well had been
drawn to point at the bottom of the
excavation where it stuck.
Num- and King had been working
in the excavation the day previous,
and when the sand point stuck they
were also in the hole, while Taylor
was at the top operating a rope to the
end of which was attached a small
sand box. On the afternoon of the
day of the accident Mr.. King said he
would go to the top and get file, and
after separating a section of the cas-
ing would file the sand point loose so
that 1t would work properly.
Num- and King were standing to-
gether at the bottom of the excavation,
when King caught hold of the rope
and gave the signal to Taylor above
to draw him up. Suddenly and with
out the slightest warning about two
tons of sand caved in on the men.
The fall of sand struck Mum fairly
and buried him completely, and King
was buried up to his armplts, with his
arms held against his body by the
weight of the sand.
There was no ladder, and, as there
was no one at the mouth of the well
to lower him, Taylor. who was at the
top, was powerless to give assistance,
although King. who could talk, was
begging for help. Taylor jumped on
his horse and rode rapidly away in
search of assistance, and soon the
countryside was aroused and was hur-
rying to the scene of the accident. but
despite Kings cries and pleas for help
there was no one who would venture
down to the rescue.
