Deadly Damp Kills Two Gray
County Farmers.

Street Commissioner Baker brings
from Cimarron on account of the
death of two farmers and the pos
sible death of a third. Eugene
Davis was digging we'll on his
claim thirteen miles northwest of
Cimarron. Rock was encountered
at depth of forty feet and a shot
was fired. The we'll was allowed to
stand for several hours before a de-
scent was attempted then young
Davis went down. He called to be
pulled up, but when near the top he
became unconscious and fell to the
bottom, being killed instantly.
Nelson Thompson went down after
the body, and he too was over come
and fell back in when his helpers
had him almost within reach of the
top.
The father of young Davis later
went down and sent up the bodies.
1t seemed that the we'll had been
cleared of the foul air but when he
started up he became unconscious
and fell back.
BY this time a number Of the
neighbors had gathered and Fred
Baylus volunteered to go down and
bring the third body up. This he
did successfully. The report yes
fterday morning was that Mr.. Davis
was unconscious, but the physicians
hoped that he would recover.
Nelson Thompson was member
of Dodge City Encampment l. o.
O. F. and that body went to Gin
AKRON today to conduct his funeral
The Davis family is well known
in Dodge City.-Dodge City Jour
