Farmer Dies After
Being Rescued From
Old Well on His Farm
By Associated Press

Bristol, Pa, Oct. 17.-After being
imprisoned for eighteen hours in an
old 30-foot well on his farm, near
here. William Chapman was rescued
by farmers early to-day only to die
as he entered his home.
Chapman fell into the we'll yesterday
while he was cleaning 1t and the sides
began to cave in on him. His wife
summoned help, but not before the
man was almost buried by dirt and
stone. BY chance the falling mass
formed an arch over him, enabling
the rescuers to reach him with tube,
through which he was able to receive
fresh air and stimulants.
All night long fifty farmers labored
to bring the man out alive. while his
wife and daughter knelt in prayer that
he might be saved. At daybreak
Chapman was lifted out unconscious
and an hours work with pulmotor
revived him.
Thank you boys, for what you
have DONE" Chapman said as he was
led to his home. AS he was about to
step into the house he collapsed and
died while physicians were working
over him.

WORKHOUSE VACRANTS
SLIP QUIETLY AWAY
FROM THEIR GUARD
Four Prisoners Are Prisoners No
More; AImshouse Steward
Can't Explain 1t

Somewhere in the countryside
roundabout, four "90-day workhouse"
vagrants are still roaming at large
and chuckling over the ease with
which they gave the almshouse watch
men the slip yesterday morning.
The four, John White, Howard Will
best, Joseph Fallen and James Clark,
had been sentenced by the Mayor to
put in ninety days cracking stones at
the almshouse quarry.
During the nights they slept in the
lookup at the poorhouse and yester-
day morning Watchman Jones reused
them preparatory to marshalling them
for the march to breakfast. The quar-
tet docilely permitted themselves to be
marshalled-and then when the
watchman turned to glance at the blue
sky or the red and gold woods or
something, all four quietly slipped out
and hied themselves to the pike.
Doesn't Know How 1t Happened
Just how it happened l don't ex-
actly know" said Steward S. F. Bar
Der, in discussing the matter to-day,
but / guess the watchman wasn't as
watchful as he might have been per-
haps-and the four gave him the
slip"
Steward Barber called police head
quarters at once and requested assist
ane in running down the fugtives.
Some excitable debate as to the why's,
wherefores and respective RESPONSE
prisoners committed to the county's
care, followed via the phone. But
The quartet at last reports is still
roaming o. far field.
And at the almshouse folks are still
watchfully waiting.
