Sheridan, Wyo.—Standing for hours In cold water at the bottom of a deep cistern and racking brain and body to escape and save the life of her little two-year-old baby, for whose sake she had descended, was the experience of Mrs. A. W. Frazier, a rancher’s Wife, residing on Buffalo creek, 30 miles from Sheridan. The story of the mother’s heroism, and devotion came to light when mother and child were brought Sheridan for medical treatment.

The mother followed instantly, dropping to the bottom of the well by a rope fastened to the top, and finally succeeded in rescuing the child and herself by climbing the rope and haul lng the child tip after her.
