TH IN A WELL.
MuFreI MI SuccOmbS to Gas
or DyL ate Fumes.

According to the Mendon Con.
stitution of last week, Murrel
Murray, the 17.year. old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Murrey of
Mendon, met with very sudden
and unexpected death shortly af-
ter noon Thursday, September II.
He, in company with Harry
Obetz and j. l.. Bachtel, had
been toring we'll on the farm
belonging to Harry and Clarence
Obetz, east of Mendon. A charge
of dynamite was discharged in
the well and Murrel went down
to remove a rock 80 that the
ooring could be continued. He
had not been in the we'll but a
short time until he shouted for
those above to draw him up, as
he was feeling sick. When they
pulled on the rope they found
that he had released his hold, and
on looking into the we'll they saw
him leaning limp, with bowed
head against the walls of the we'll.
1t took only a few minutes for
Harry Obetz to fasten a rope
around himself to be lowered into
the well. Hastily fastening the
rope around young Murrey's
inert body he gave a signal to be
hoisted, as he also was rapidly
losing consciousness. In short
time both men had been raised
to the ground.
1t has not yet been fully de-.
cided as to what caused Murrel's
death and came so near resulting
fatslly to Mr.. Obetz. As it was
q new we'll would seem to pre-.
clude- the possibility of it's being
foul air. Some think the cause
might have been from the gas
or fumes from the dynamite,
while there is possibility that a
| small vein of gas might have
been struck.
1t wac thought at first that Mr..
Obetz's condition might be seri.

that he is getting along nicely,

on his hat and fastened up to Mrs.
Gatty's fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing

Without further parley the lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a Lice

upon the attorney. and amid the TIT

bowed and withdrew. after declaring

settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
a little later Mrs. Gatty received
a bill for services, made out in the

that this bill was merely the humor-

The cutting season began about
two weeks earlier this year than

spring. The fact that there was an
abundance of plants gave most farm
ers an opportunity to get the bulk of
their crop transplanted about the

uniform in size and their entire crop
ready for the barn much earlier than
usual.
