A farmer was working a pump over the well at his farm, when the handle sprang from his grasp and knocked him into the well. He fell 20 feet, and his arm was fractured. There was a ladder running up the side of the well, and by hanging on to the rungs with his teeth, dragged himself by a superhuman effort to the top!
