IMPRISONED SIX
DAYS IN A WELL
Frightful Experience of Two Men
on a Lonely Ranch in
Oregon.
HELPLESS AT BOTTOM
One Lay With Broken Legs While
Companion Toiled in Vain to
Scale Walls-Rescue in
Nick of Time.
Burns, Ore.-Six days in a well,
without food and water and suffering
severe injuries was the experience that
befell two young men, William Carroll,
ared twenty-four, and Robert K,,olntz.
:±ged thirty-two. at Carroll':; hoi:, Si)
nilef from Burns. (re. On t'he holmte
stead was an old well about S) feet
deep. Carroll decided to clhar it o,:t
:and drive the shaft still deetper :and
had enaged Ko,,ntz to carry out the'
work. Carroll himnself arraugtd to a:
sist his workman, as it was necessary
to do some blasting.
The work was well under way when
Carroll went down the rope ladder to
help Koontz prepare a blast. lie had
not descended more than a dozen feet
when the ropes parted. Carroll made a
frantic clutch at the rough, uneven
wall, but failed to secure any hold and
fell a distance of nearly 70 feet, frac
turing both legs just above the ankle.
Helpless in Bottom of Well.
Carroll lay at the bottom of the pit,
unable to move and in great pain. His
companion attended to the injuries as
best he could, binding up Carroll's feet
and legs with bandages taken from his
shirt. It quickly dawned upon Koontz
that their position was a critical one,
the walls of the well being almost per
pendicular for a distance of 80 feet.
Furthermore, the chance of rescue from
a passerby was remote, for the valley
was very sparsely inhabited and few
people passed along the road, a half
mile distant.
There was nothing to do but attempt
to scale the steep wall, and without de
lay Koontz started to do so. He went
up about eight feet, then his feet
slipped and he fell with a thud to the
hard bottom.
Time after time Koontz tried to scale
the wall. He dug into the clay with
his feet and made handholes in the
wall above, gradually working higher
and higher. But fate was against him.
A mass of clay suddenly gave way
when he had reached a point that
meant success was in sight. He fell,
and as he did, gained momentum so
rapidly that he struck the bottom with
terrific force.
His injuries were so severe that he
was unable to get up. For two days the
unfortunate men, lying side by side at
the bottom of the shaft, suffered In

tensely from lack of water and food.
They managed to sleep, despite their
crumpled position, but finally began to
feel the effects of the damp and cold.
Another Attempt at Liberty.
Made desperate by their condition,
Koonts, half dellrlous from pain and
hunger, made one more frantic attempt
to reach the top. Gradually he dag his
way, niche by nlche, to within 12 feet
of the pit's mouth, but could go no
farther. He clang to the wall for many
minute and was just on the point of
giving up and dropping to the bottom
when he heard the rattle of wagon
wheels on the frosen ground above. He
shouted uas hard as be could and Car
roll at the bottom of the well, joined

Ben Weaver, a teamster, stopped his
horses, ran to the well and peered
down. He saw Koonts clinging des
perately to the side. Without a mo
meat's delay he had attached fresh
ropes to the windlass and In a short
time both men were on the surface.
Here the plucky Koonts, despite his
Injuries, mounted a horse and rode
eight miles to telephone for a doctor.
It was found necessary to amputate
both Carroll's legs just below the
knee, and this was done some days
later. Koonta, however, quickly recov
ered and kpm was able to return te
work.

railroad, but the railroad requires that
the ties be delivered on the right of
way, and to do this the gulch must be
crossed. For this purpose Martin
felled a small spruce tree from brim to
brim, and when he finishes a tie shoul
ders it and packs It over.
A party of hunters appearing upon
the scene a few days since, and not
daring to attempt the frail crossing
themselves, asked Martin why in "the
name of all possessed" he did not fell
a safe footlog across the stream, and
not risk his life in so reckless a man

that for his purpose an e!ght-inch log
was as good as an eight-foot log. and
besides, the fact that the thing In

never occurred to him or he might
have felled a larger tree to bridge the

B OLOGNA deserves greater atten
tion from the world than it
commlonly receives. For some
reasons most travelers leave
unvisited this very old yet strangely
modern and democratic city of over
110,000 Inhabitants. Yet hardly any
one in the world but has heard of the
town. For this is the home of Bologna
sausage, renowned and savory mor
tadella, writes Edgar Ansel Mowrer to
the Chicago Daily News.
First a Ligurian. then an Etruscan, a
Roman. a medieval, a thoroughly mod
ern Italian town, Bologna is today the
seat of a good museum and a fine col
lectibn of paintings of the late rena
scence, type Guido Real. Architectur
ally, however, it is predominantly me
dieval. The finest of its fine old publle
buildings are a sort of Lombard gothic.
Over its fine palaces, its solid pictur
esque old-worldliness, rise many tow
ers-that of the Asinelll more than 800
years old and 320 feet high. It leans
four feet out of the perpendicular.
Near it, near enough to astonish a vis
itor-one cannot imagine why these
two should have been begun within a
year and within thirty feet of each
other-is the other leaning tower, the
Torre Garisenda, unfinished, only 156
feet high, but eight feet out of the
perpendicular. Pisa's famous leanlng
tower is 23 feet higher and only leans
14 feet. But all this and more can be
found In any guide book.
More Interesting are the intimate
sensations and aspects of the place, its
personality among cities. These de
wand and will repay a visit to the
handsome medieval town-medieval
yet quite modern-thronged with his
toric specters. Here Enzo, son of the
Emperor Frederick II, was confined for
some twenty years after Bologna with
the rest of the Lombard league defeat
ed the emperor at Fossalta. Here in
1547 was held a session of the Council
of Trent, here Rossini studied music
early In the last century, and later
built himself a house. And here, too,
Carduccl, modern Italy's greatest poet
and a splendid figure, taught literature
and wrote beautiful and defiant words.
At the hotel where I write is an In
scription to the effect that Lord Byron
once "lived and conspired" in this very
house. And the inscription is by Car
ducci. Yet perhaps the greatest citizen
of Bologna was Giovanni Galvini, the
inventor of the galvanic battery and a
contemporary of Franklin.
Oldest Uniersity There.
'Bononia docet"-Bologna teaches
announces the Inscription on many an
old coin. Tile university, the oldest, if
I am not mistaken, in Europe, is re
puted to have been founded by Theo
dosius the Great in 425. For nearly 1,
500 years it has been a mecca of stu
dents. Even today Its reputation,
though less than it was, is consider
able. But in 1262 the number of stu
dents is supposed to have reached 10,
000. During the middle ages Its name
was synonymous with legal learning.
Bologna led in law, as Paris in the
ology. Women were students and even
occrpied professorial chairs.
The beauty of one fair pedagogue,
Novella d'Andrea, must have been dis
astrous, for the good lady was com
pelled to lecture from behind a scree.
The Archiginnasio Antico, an old build
nlg formerly the seat of the university,
bears painted on its Inner walls the
Floods in Brazil.
The native inhabitants of Brazil
have lately been suffering from the
disastrous tlffects of the flooding of
the Amazon, whose relentless waters
have submerged the countryside for
bundreds of miles around. At regu
lar intervals this mighty river over
flows Its banks, and a fanious traveler
estimated that no fewer than 5,000,000
natives have lost their lives during
the last five centuries through these
terrible floods.
Coffee a Nutrient.
