But she fell in such a way that she became wedged between th; well wall and some pipes just as she plunged into the water at the well bottom. Mrs. Jamison had the rope tied around her own waist, and neighbors lowered her into the well. “I found Betty wedged b tween the wall and the pipe with water up to her mouth.’ Mrs. Jamison said. “I braced myself on the pipes and raised her until she wa. neath her weight. But her strengtii was ebbing and another neighbors, Marti:: Vasser, descended head first into he well as neighbors held hi.mct.

Firemen arriv'd and lowered a rope, which Mrs. Jamison tried to fasten tround the child. But each linn d slipped off. Finally, Mis. Jamison manag'd to lift Betty high enough s< that firemen could reach hci with a rope and pull her to safety. Then they hauled Mrs. Jamion to the surface. She estimated that she was ii the well a half hour before fire men arrived.
