BOY FALLS
100 FEET
DOWN WELL
Water in Bottom Probably Saved His
Life--Doctor Says He Has Fighting
Chance to Recover-Fell 100 Feet
and Broke an Arm

DOUGLAS, February 20.-Albert, the
little ten-year-old son of Ben Smith,
fell 100 feet down well Sunday after
noon and the attending physician says
that he has fair chance to recover.
The accident happened about 4
clock Sunday afternoon at the home
near the corner of A avenue and Nine
teenth street. There is three foot
dug well 100 feet deep and with two
feet of water in the bottom, sunk ex-
actly on the .ila of the side fence. A
derrick stands over the well, which is
used in connection with horsepower
windlas at one side, in hosting the
dirt. A high fence, difficult to climb,
comes snug up against the derrick and
an easy way Of crossing from one yard
to another, the boys found by walking
across seantl:ng fastened to two of
the upright standards of the derrick,
directly over the hole. As il was ex-
tremely dangerous, the boys had been
forbidden to cross it. Albert was in
the act of crossing when his father
saw him and called to him. At that
instant the boy in some way lost his
footing or his balance, and toppled over
into the deep hole. The father rushed
to the derrick and called to neighbors
for help. He quickly lowered a broth
er of the unfortunate boy to raise his
brother s head above the water and pre-
vent his drowning.
The father and several neighbors went
to work at the horse power windlass
and raised the bucket with the two boys
in it. Albert was rendered unconscious
by the fall and was just recovering his
senses when he came up. When ex-
am,ned by a physician it was found
that his arm was broken. His head
was not fractured as was feared at first,
but he was badly bruised and Jared
internally The attending physician
says he is resting as easily as one can
be expected in his condition and has a
fair chance to recover.
