Beecher Roberts, 17, farmhand, helped to rescue Thomas Ashcraft, 17, farmhand, from a well cave?in, Tyler, Texas, April 16, 1912. (See case of WILLIAM G. WILLS.) Beecher reached the well after Wills and Gregory had been working in it for some time, and when he was asked to do so, he immediately had himself lowered. He scraped some sand from around Thomas’s leg and then tied the rope to Thomas. Another rope was lowered to Beecher, and both were drawn out. 10475-839
