GOES DOWN WELL TO SAVE CAT.
Plucky Boy Descends Sixty Feet or
End of Rope.

New York.-An over-inquisitive kit
ten that fell down a well in Jackson

brought to the surface the philanthro-

small boy

Of a more alert rat that sought refuge

the surface. The well is SO feet deep
and it was impossible for the cat to
climb to the top. Her cries attracted
The attention of a kindly old man
and he called to John Koehler, 12
years old, who was passing the wei!
There's a kitten at the bottom Of
the WE'LL the cd man said. Will
you go after her?"
Sure replied the boy
rope was obtained and one of
the ends was tied under the boys
arm. Inch by inch young Koehler was
permitted to descend until he reached
the. surface of the water IN the we'll,
where he almost strangled from gas.
He placed the kitten on his shoulder.
and several truckmen held the other
end OF the rope, then pulled him up.
Here's half dollar" the old man
said You're brave boy
Koehler took the coin and SAID:
You'd better tell that kitten not to
drop down the we'll again, for /
wouldn't go after her another time
