DOG SAVES MASTERS LIFE.
Leads Rescuers to Farmer Buried In
Old Well by Cave-ln.

Nashville, Ind.-Jacob Wilson, farm.
er, near Story, finding that an old well
in field near his house had gone dry,
and without notifying the family, at
tempted to dig it deeper, and he de-
scended to the bottom by means of a
ladder and began work. Almost the
first blow Jared the walls, and there
was cave-in, burying him underneath
the debris.
Failing to report when it began to
get dark, his wife and son, accom-
panied by Shep, the family dog,
started on hunt for the missing man,
and he was traced to the we'll by the
faithful dog and rescued by the son
scarcely in time to prevent death from
suffocation. Wilson's hand was found
clasping a rung of the ladder, but his
head was barely perceptible. Only the
ladder had prevented him from being
crushed to death. He was brought
to the surface with difficulty, where it
was found that he had escaped with
unbroken bones, but was suffering
from nervous prostration.
Mr.. Wilson says that he called for
help till he was exhausted, and that
he was held so tightly that he was un,
able to extricate himself. Shep, the
family dog, followed his masters
scent to the old well and stood wag.
ging his tail and barking till the atten.
ton of the family was called in that
direction.

above him. The ground slid away,
carrying him 25 feet before he gained
a footing. His position was terrible
His feet rested on narrow shelf of
rock, not four inches wide, while the
scale kept sitting from beneath his
hands as he clutched at the wall. Be-
low him the cliff dropped sheer to the
rocks.
The man had been there almost an
hour before his cries attracted the at
tention of a party of campers some
distance away, who sent an alarm to
the Hollywood fire department. Chief
Shill and two men hurried to the
scene in automobile apparatus, and,
as Lehman was unable to climb lad
der, the chief lowered himself by a
rope to his side, then lowered him to
the foot of the canyon.
Lehman was exhausted when the
chief reached him. His hands were
torn and bleeding. To hold to his
perilous perch he had dug his fingers
into the scale rock, and the nails had
been broken into the flesh. His arms,
neck and face were purplish from the
terrible strain which he had been COM
PEELED to undergo to keep from pitching
headlong to the rocks of the canyon
bed far below.

Pirates Stop Invasion Plan.

Through the purchase of the new

ISOLATION, which for more than a year
past has been flirting with Pittsburg
Twice during the past year was the
American association told on request
for information that it could have a
long lease on the Carnegie ball park
here, and it is rumored that President
O'Brien was guaranteed 100000 by
certain Pittsburg business men If he
would only bring one of his western
franchises to that city.
Twice did the American association
start in that direction, and twice did
it hesitate. All the chance is now
gone since the Pittsburg National
league club has bought the park, and
there is no other park available,
