• ferd's life is no lenger nienaceil by

of a severe cold, aehing lielbs, and
A sore hean, the young well -digger is
none the worse for the •peril of the
past week. In fact, he declared Sat-
urday, after being taken from the
well, that he wanted to sit up. and

tors refused to permit. The physi-
cians state, however, that he - will
probably be as well AS uStial with-

peaceful, he moaned a great deal,

ing his slumber that indicated that
his mind was still ta. the cavern from
which he had been so iniracu.oualy
rescued. Ile was .muen refreshed,
.however, and Sunday, partook. 'of a

Ibis would tell the story whether it
would be life or deeth for all. The
men sent up word to have the cot
ready, and the crowd was then form-

to the house a few yards away.
John Carnie in person drew out the
last brick. Ile reached in, and, with
a slow mothon, pulled out the key to
the arch. Ile felt the whole struc-
ture tremble, and some loon bricks
and mutt sand fell, but that was
ell. The moment the brick was
withdrawn Sanford pulled bis foot
clear, and leaned fey back into the
upper tunnel. Ile was free at last,
but he still lay quietly while his

position under his chamber and made
reedy the bucket. Then he partially

The Well Sinks.
While Sanford was working at the
easing on the afternoon of Tuesday
the bottom of the well sank beneath
him, the casing which composed the
sidesfell in, bringing with .it a large
quantity Of loose .earth. Sanford was
not at the bottom When this collapse
occurred. He had noticen the prelim-
inarysigns of the sinking of the well

and .n response to his danger ..sigual

surface by Henderson when he was
caught in the avalanche of bricks and

HISTORY OF THE CASE.
This most remarkable nistory of the
Dile hundred hours which. Sanford
Spent . on the borderland between
and death began oat Tuesday, June
24t11, at two. o'clock in the aft:en:been
Sanford had been employed for some
time with Hentlehson & Company, well
drillers a of Branelitoin The company
lied taken a contract to deepen, by
boritig, aft chd well on the Skelly farm
in the township of South Dumfries,
tenanted by Mr. George Seott. After
lout weeks cif drilling young John
Iichdereon. and Joshua Sauteed, who
were engaged 111 the work, had failed
to obtain water and decided to pull
up their easings ahni begin drilling 111
a new piece. Tho old well, lour feet
in diaineter, eighty-six feet deep, and
lined with brick, was dug twelee years
ago. Ilenderson & Sanford had begun
boring at the bottom, of this well
that is eighty-six feet below the sur-
face and in the four weeks that they
had been at work their drill had pene-
trated to a depth of 170- feet. The
'boring, they had fotind, had neen to a
large extent through quick -sand form -
atilt, The two tnett had suCceeded in •

Outer pipe which protects the drill

'descended into the well to investigate
the break. It appears that the action

With incredible rapidity u„ tremendous
crowd gathered, the Workmen sprang
from their beds awl within half an
hour the work had been resumed.
ihreater care was nevessury, -however,
and the further excavations were made
with additional life lines hung in read-
iness for the escape of the rescuing
party. Early on Friday morning it
was announced that the -shaft was as-
suredly on a level with the position
.occupied by the man, and that a tnn-
mei was being coustructen to him. On
Friday afteruoon this tunnel was en-
larged sufficiently to permit of the
passage of a man's body and the first
nourishment that he received in nearly
eighty hours was given Sandford. On
Friday nightit was found that the
mats right leg 'was so anchored in
a mass of brick that it was impos-
sible to • move it. Sandford. himself

himself, lint it was through the ingen-
uity and daring of John Canna,Wm.

Means of Conununication.
•
The casing enclosing the iron pipe
had not been removed by the shock
of the ca.ve-in and still extended front
the siirface to the bottom of the well.
The men at work with the shovels
were surprised . to hear a persistent
tapping on the hipe and Henderson
soon came lo the conclusion that the
sounds Were signal's from his compan-
ion intendedto convey • the intelligence
that he was 'still alive: Dr. W. W.
Patterson began the task of establish-
ing -communication with imprisoned
man and succeeded in discoveringthat
he was not ouly safe ancl sound but
that the sixty feet of earth above him
had not had the effect expected, that
of shutting off • his supply of •
Sanford's amazing coelness and pres-
ence of mind was exhibitee at the
time for at the moment that mem-
municatiou with hint' was obtained he,
directed' the operations for his own
release. During Teesday • •afternoon
and evening the bricks and, eartlt were
being removed 'from the old well -slow-
ly 'and laboriously by means of a
litteket and a derrick. Sanford advis-
-ed 'that the worte he stopped and that
a trench, or slanting tunnel to him be.
constructed. On Tuesday night a steel
road seraper and traction engine were
secured 'and this trench was begun.
Mr. Joint Penman had resumedcharge
of the work andhe secured the ser-
vices of Mr, 3, H. Jones, the City
EngineerOf Brantford, who came post
haste with .a corps of' sewer builders.
He Conferred with half a dohen•eXpert
•well-diggera• feom all parts of the dis-
trict and on Wednesday a shaft, which
was.•intendethto parallell. the old well.,
was begun. The volunteers wOrked
with feverish haste throunhetit Wed,

held a conferenee, to which they invit-

' the rescue of nandferd'e body, 'They

risked • their live's to save the man' ;
they Would do that again, but they
would not go into the ,shaft to rescue
O body from which life .had goite. One
of their number, 'David Mott, air;. -old.

would go down the shaft if •lie ergs .al•

ed that tide offer beaccepted, and the

only risking his life. It wile decided
that the exhausted men should he
