Fell Down a Well
James Dyson, who was engaged in digging a well on First street, Irwin, on Monday, started to go down the well to put of a blast when the rope broke and he fell a distance of 40 feet sustaining injuries that may prove fatal. Several ribs were broken and he was badly cut and bruised about of the head. His leg was also badly injured.
