The people residing in this vicinity . were shocked last Friday at the death of W. A. Laybourn b) being buried alive :in his well. About two months ago Mr. , Laybourn purchased what is known as , the Levi Learn farm. The place had been very much neglected and he had been very busy since the purchase in making improvements in the way of repairing buildings and fences. On the farm was an old open well bricked up arid this Mr. LiiyboiiHi had determined to fill up. The well was about 25 feet deep and with the assistance of. his son and son-in-law, Frank Meyers, proceeded to haul and fill in. When about half filled up Mr. L. went down and proceeded to loosen and take out some brick with the purpose of saving them. He continued until within about three or four feet from the bottom when Mr. Meyers told him to come out, as it did not look safe. Just then the first cave took place, which covered Mr. L. up to his arms. A rope was let down to him but he could not pull himself out. About this time a second cave took place, which covered him eompletely. Unmindful Os the danger to himself the son-in law hastened into the well and shoveled back the dirt so that the doomed man could get dir. In the mcantinle triembcrs of the family had

hastened to the neighbors for assistance. But only a few minutes elapsed after the two eaves until the third cave took place : which covered Mr. 1,, with several feet of dirt. The neighbors by this time had arrived. This was about 9 o’clock and it ■ was quite 11 o'clock before the body was recovered. Mr. Laybourn was born Sept. 2.>, 18-18, was married to Susan liar m*ss Dee. 2. 1871. He leaves a widow and four children.
