Child FALLS in
WE'LL; CLINGS TO ROPE AND
is RESCUED.

Brookhaven, Miss, Aug. 20
News was brought here from Month
cello, Miss, that a child two years
OF age was rescued after falling into
a thirty-foot we'll. When the alarm
was given out that child was heard
crying at the bottom of the we'll,
which was just being bored, a party
OF men and women started out to
the rescue.
The well was so narrow that a
grown person could not go down
any further than four feet. The res
cuers then got a small boy to go
down with rope tied around him;
but he, too, would not get all the
way down.
After bringing the boy back to the
surface, one of the men began talk
ing to the baby when an answer
came. The man asked the little one
to catch on to the rope hat was be-
ing lowered.
The baby caught he rope and
hung to it while the rescuers wore
pulling it through the narrow pas
saseway.
No one had seen the child fall, and
Only for passerby hearing the cries,
i probably would have persisted in
the we'll. When the infant was
brought home to it's mother the
mother was unconscious, but after
treatment by physician, she re-
viyed.
