Told how Craig Met Death
John Robinson, at whose home at Lents, B.W. Craig was killed Monday, yesterday made the following statement: "I was working with Craig at the time,having hired him to deepen a well. About four feet of the bottom of the well had been left uncurbed by a man who dug it.He tied four knots together and sent them up, shouting, "Look out for the knot," as he had tried several knots and was not sure they would hold.
The boards came up, but one of them caught on a board that was laid over the well, and before I could catch the boards they slipped out of the knot and shot downward.We all yelled out to him, and I leaned over the well and called down to him, but received no reply."
The funeral will be held at 2 P.M. today at the church at Lents,under the auspices of Mount Scott Tent,No,47,O.T.M.
