Accident
at the Well
G. A. Merkley Pinned Fast in Well

Heroic Efforts Required to Save His
Lfe-Suffered Intensely After
Being Taken Out

in where he was digging we'll this
week. On Monday evening when down
rs feet there was sudden caving in
Of sand and gravel that covered him
up to his neck. When they got him
almost dug out there came another
slide that covered him again, and
when they had dug down again about
to his waist the sliding or caving
continued with such force that they
barricaded about him and began dig
ging another well by the side of the
first one, hoping to reach him through
it. which they did after he had been
pinned in painful position for 26,
hours and 40 minutes.
Friends and neighbors assembled
and pushed the work with great vigor
changing shifts about every fifteen
minutes throughout the night and
Tuesday. 1t was very difficult work
getting Mr.. Merkley out after they
got down on the level where he was
There was so much quicksand and it
had to be timbered up so closely that
but for the assistance of a couple of
experienced miners it is doubtful
whether they would have succeeded
at all.
A tunnel had to be diven in such
way that they could get to Mr..
Merkley and still not disturb the
barricade chat kept him from being |
crushed.
After he was taken out he suffered |
greatly from the pain of life and
circulation returning to his cold and
benumbed limbs.
BY Wednesday morning this was
somewhat relieved, but the flesh was
badly bruised besides being chilled
and subjected to the weight of the
sand and gravel. Hs was caught in
a had position against the box used
for hosting the gravel, and this
caused much distress all the time he
was in the well, and left some bad
wounds.

Charges and counter-charges abou
'stuffing" the ballot at the mass
meeting, a suspicion that those who
were beaten in the mass meeting
would file a ticket by petition, and
the fear that the other ticket would
be barred out because 1t was not
given name in the legal manner
and the ultimate discovery that there
is no law for nominating non-parti-
san ticket in mass meeting unless it
stands for a certain well-defined
principle as opposed to something op-
posite, has led both parties partici-
pating in the mass meeting to ignore
what was done there and to file
tickets by petition. Most of this was
not legally done, but City Attorney
Hansbrough advised that everything
be placed upon the official ballot
as per the intentions and wishes of
the petitioners, and let the voters
indicate their choice at the polls, as
suming that nobody will go back on
that when the votes are recorded
under strict regulations, as they are
at the ballot box, showing absolutely
the choice made by each person
voting.
In the campaign of two years ago
the platform called for the enforce
ment of the law, the opening of a
street to the cemetery when practical
to do so, the construction of a sewer
system, the grading of streets and
macadamizing the business streets as
fast as this could be reached.
During the present administration
this has been carried along as fast
as circumstances and the finances of
the city would permit, and work is
still in progress. In the main, things
have been economically done, some
mistakes having been made in minor
matters that are necessarily humili-
ating to the individual or committee
having the matter in charge, and
such items furnish material for more
or less adverse criticism at his time
The settling of the earth in the sewer
trenches for example, when the snow
melted and soaked the loose material
that was as dry as powder, kept the
sewer commissioner doing patchwork
with his teamsters wherever needed |
to give protection against accidents
by people or animals falling into the
cavities. They took the nearest ma
terials they could get for use in the
and some caustic critic
isms have been made because piles
of ashes were taken for such filling
in, where the removal of the ash
heaps would save some individual the
expense of moving, but it also saved
the city the expense of going a great
er distance to get dirt when time was
precious.
But as we have said, the work has
been accomplished with no serious
losses or accidents. No lawsuits have
the city or wasted time
