Wesley Gcrver of Gerver precinc was the victim of a horrible accident , Monday , which will render him helpless the rest of his days. He was digging a well for a neighbor and was in rock seventy-five feet below the surface. A bucket of rock and dirt was being hauled up. Just as it reached the top the rope broke and the bucket and con tents weighing about one hundred pounds fell to the bottom. Mr. Gerver saved his life by a quick movement to the side of the well , but his feet were terribly crushed. Drs. Hall , Spickel- meier and Jones amputated the crushed feet on the day following , and the pa tient is doing well. THE TRIBUNE learns that the family wife and three small children , are in needy circumstances and hope that action will be taken to relieve their distress in that particular at least.
