HORSE IN WELL IN
OBVIOUSLY RESCUED
From THURSDAYS Daily

(From Thursdays Daily)
To rescue horse that had fallen
into 4 well over twenty feet deep,
occasioned CONSERVATION a few days
ago at the ranch of William Crit
fifth, on the road TO Jerome juno
ton, about eleven miles from this
city.
But perseverance, bacicd with hu-
man ingenuity, accomplished the
feat, and the equine was saved,
after one of the mos: interesting
and unique exhibitions the mind
could devise under the conditions
prevailing.
Mr.. Griffith was absent at the
time, pursuing his foundry business
in the city, and his wife and chill
dren were the only ones available to
save the pet animal. 1t had fallen
into the opening probably the night
before it was discovered, standing
on its hind feet in a foot of water,
and piteously moaning its impend-
ing fate The mother and children
were alive to the occasion, however,
and the first impulse was 20 rcle-
phone to the husband for assist
ance at the same time requesting
that he get aboard of an auto and
TO be sure and bring a big stock OF
giant powder. The message was
slow in delivery for the reason that
Mr.. Griffith was engaged at another
point in the city.
1t was at this juncture the house
wife and her children assumed the
initiative in the novel work Of res
cue Shovels were secured and in
a few minutes the old pile of dirt
taken out of the we'll was being
dumped back again. The supply was
soon exhausted. and with a few
sticks of powder on the ranch the
soil adjacent was ripped up, and
went below in a jiffy. During all
this procedure the horse was seen TO
be assisting in his dumb manner.
He would work his hind feet as
soon as there was frma TO stand
on and according TO what Mrs.
Griffith states. there is no question
but what the animal was responsive
TO the interest being taken in him.
Finally and at the last minute
Mr.. Griffith hove in sight with the
powder The well had by this time
been filled to within about five feet
of the surface. when the work was
suspended, the rescuers being ex-
hausted. The ears of the horse
were protruding above the ground
a few inches. The finishing touch
cs were given by the head of the house
and after being cntombcd for over
twelve hours the horse got on all
tours and started off to Craze.
Gazing at the side of the well,
Mr. Griffith picked up a stick with
a string attached at the end of
which was bunch OF hay. He was
informed that IT was the stunt OF
the children 10 attract the attention
of the horse, and it worked until
he got a peep at the outside world
when he refused to bulge an inch.
