SHOOT BOTTOM
OUT OF WELL
what the Hell" Says Voice Through
Pipe-Proves to Be Worker
In Coal Mine.

Petersburg, Ind, Dec. ia deep
drilled water well at the home Of
Dode Smith just east of this city
yesterday suddenly went dry and
Smith Immediately got John Watson,
superintendent of the water COM
pany to assist him in pulling the
piping out of the well to make re-
pairs. The two men were helped by
George Smith, a brother Of Dode,
and as the string Of piping was start
ed out of the we'll, the trio was star
tied by hearing voice coming out
Of the pipe asking them, What in
the He'll are you doing up there?"
Smith yelled back into the pipe,
they were trying to get water. Again
the voice said: "There's plenty Of
water down here" Mrs. William
Dorf who was standing fifty feet
away heard both sides of the con-
versation.
An investigation was Immediately
made as Smith claimed to recognize
the voice of the man talking through
the pipe, and the result is that Smith
is asking the Maple Grove Coal COM
pany to restore his well.
Smiths property lies just west Of
the property of the coal company,
and in some manner, one of the
miners in making room undermine
ed Smiths property, and when he
shot his coal down, shot the bottom
out of Smiths well, and allowed all
of the water to run down in the
mine.
The officials of the coal company
are now making big wooden plug
which they are going to drive in the
bottom of Smiths well, and then
they are going to put prop be-
Meth the plug in order to hold it in
place.
In this manner they claim they
can restore Smiths well, pur Smith
is skeptical of these proceedings sud
insists that the coal company give
him back his well.

WALES PREPARES TO-
DEMAND HOME RULE
Conference to Be Called to
ForUard the Movement.
Special Correspondence TO The sux

LONDON, March 3.-Welsh National
lists and Welsh Labor are making prep
arations for an active campaign to bring
the demnd for Welsh home rule within
the realm of practical politics.
A national conference of representa-
tives of the Welsh societies in the prin-
cipality and of local and educational
authorities in Wales is to be called for
the purpose of pushing forward the de-
mand for Welsh home rule
A few days ago a conference of the
Welsh societies turned down by an over
whelming majority a proposal for the
appointment of a Minister for Wales in
favor of a progressive demand for home
rule.
Advocates of the change OF govern
ment are of opinion that the time is
now ripe and they will ask the confer
ence to call upon the Welsh members to
form themselves into Welsh Home
Rule parliamentary party. Apart from
the Welsh Nationalist the Welsh Labor
members, who number nearly one-f fifth
of the Labor party in Parliament are
pledged to home rule for Wales. and
certain other members can certainly be
added to a parliamentary party.
A bill for Welsh home rule already
has been drafted and the conference will
be asked TO appoint a committee to con-
slider the measure and make any neces-
sary alterations before 1t is submitted
to the houses of Parliament
