"On Tuesday afternoon, C.R. Manley and two other men were engaged in moving a wind mill on his farm, near Valley View School House, and two of the anchor posts had been loosened when Mr. Manley began on the third post by trying to shake it and pushing it backward and forward. Suddenly the post broke and he was thrown backward, to near the edge of the well. Then seeming to lose his balance, plunged backward, head downward to the bottom, ninety feet below. Life was extinct when one of the two men reached him."
