bors have been working night and day
for four days to rescue John Toler , who
was burled allvo at the bottom of a
deep -well.
Tappings on the pump stock show
ed he was still living after the well
caved in him.
upon One thousand men
are taking turn-about digging out the
debris.
Toler was repairing the pump in the
bottom of the well on the Oelkcr farm
north of this city. The well was seven
ty feet deep and was walled with boul
ders of various sizes and shapes. Toler
Jarred the wall , which tumbled In on
him , carrying part of the earth , and
filling the well to the brink.
The news spread rapidly and hun
dreds flocked to the scene. Ever
since men have worked frantically to
reach the unfortunate man. They have
been spurred on by faint tappings on
the pump stock :
The task of taking out the debris Is
necessarily slow , as the walls have to
bo braced with every foot descent
made , to prevent further caving In.
The workers are nbw down to within
twenty-two feet of the bottom. It will
bo Wednesday evening or Thursday
morning before the bottom can bo
reached.
Thousands of persons have flocked
to the scene from four counties , and
the rush has been so great to get to
the mouth of the well that policemen
have been put on guard. On Sunday ,
It is estimated , 5,000 persons visited
the scene.
The hope that the imprisoned man
Is alive rises and falls alternately as
some new discovery rclatlvo to the
wall Is mado. Only one man can work
at a time in the well , and Homo of
the stones are so largo that removal
by him Is n hard task. Picks nnd
shovels cannot bo used because of
the narrow diameter of the well , and
ho tho. rescuers have had to resort to
crowbars , hooks , and short handed
spades.
For three days the wlfo of Tolor
hung around the well. Several times
she fainted. Finally she was prevail
ed on to jo homo and await
