BOY BURIED IN
WELL q HOURS
REMOVED alive
Remarkable Escape From Ter
ribIe Death Experienced by
Paul Bennett - Rescuers
Work All Night.

Buried for II hours beneath 27 feet
Of dirt and cobblestones. Paul Bennett.
son Of former Sheriff James Bennett,
was rescued from dug well this morn
ing at o'clock. mono the worse for his
experience and with only
slight scratch on his forehead.
Sunday morning. at o'clock. Paul.
aged IS, went to the bottom of the
wen, a distance Of more than 80 feet,
to dig the well deeper, as 1t had gone
dry. The well was lined with cobble-
stones and while digging he SO loosen
ed the stones that the dirt caved in
clear to the surface, burying him. He
felt the we'll caving in and called out,
Papa the well is caving in and can't
get out" Hardly had the words been
spoken before the entire wall gave way
burying the boy far below the surface.
PIPE SAVES LIFE
Sickened by the awful catastrophe
but spurned to action, the father, James
Bennett, at once began digging while
he dispatched other members of the
family for assistance and a physician.
The pipe was pulled from the we'll.
and this, Paul states, saved his life,
as his head was jammed forward hard
against the pipe, q terrible pressure
ON hta< forshsad y svTos the llipg .ot
the pipe mat caused the acrafEh on
his head, which is the only mark he
has. After working hard for several
hours. Mr.. Bennett collapsed with
grief and the neighbors continued the
work. At o'clock in the afternoon,
when the diggers were within four or
five feet of the buried boy they heard
his voice. They managed to make out
that he was unhurt and the work con-
tinued more carefully. Working by
means Of an electric light attached to
an automobile and with gas torches
the workers by 10 o'clock had the boys
head uncovered. He was given hot cof-
fee. At o'clock this morning after
the dirt and mud had been taken Out
nearly to his ankles, he stepped out
unscathed and not nearly. as shaky
as members Of his family, who, had
previously given him up for dead.
BURIED STANDING UP
Paul thinks q sufficient amount OF
air came down through the loose dir
above to sustain him although the dirt
and rock was packed solidly about him
and he could not move at all. He wal
standing erect when uncovered, hav-
ing been caught in that position Just
as he was attempting to climb out or
the pipe when the debris came dowr
upon him.
Mr.. Bennett was under the care o.
q physician most Of the day Sunday
| but revived when he learned his boy
was alive and this morning is as wei
as usual. Mrs. Bennett Is at Portland
visiting her daughter ana did not know
of the perilous position in which he
son spent nearly two days.

SOLDIER MARRIAGES
END IN THE COURTS

Chicago, Nov. 3--(United Press).--
Ten per cent of the marriages of men
who were In the A. E. +. have ended IN
the divorce courts said Charles Erb-
stein. Chicago lawyer today. He re-
ferred to marriages made in this coun-
try before the war and not the inter-
national marriages contracted by SOL
diers.
The cause of this high rate of div
orce Is hard to determine, although
am inclined to believe that IL IL largely
due to the general upneaval Of the
whole country during the war. Many
things were forgotten during the un-
settled conditions--among them NOR
ais, in many instances-for by far the
largest number of the cases were OBJ
tanned by the war-absent husband on
the grounds OF unfaithfulness. the
wives. frequently with two or three
children. were forced TO nnd amuse-
ment for themselves. With q lot more
time for amusement, one thing led ia
another and that finally to the divorce
