Shelbyvlllo, Ind. A botti'e of beer, put up 23 years ago, was unearthed on the Martin Burchert farm, near Pres cott, the other day. There U a story connected with It. In the fall of 1885 Burchert and resiBarney Lcland, both dents of Shelby township, went Into the harvest field to work. They took two quart bottles of Cincinnati beei with them. When they arrived at an old well on the place they drank the contents of one bottle and lowered the other Into the well to keep cool. When their woik was finished In the afternoon one of the men went to the well and attempted to draw the bottle up. He broke the string, causing the bottle to fall to the bottom of the well, which was 25 feet deep. The present season has been very dry, causing the water In the well to be only a foot or two In depth, and Burchert decided to clean it out While he was doing so he found this bottle with the beer still In It. The fastening at the top of the nerk Is of wire, which method went out ol use 16 years ago. At ad Dm a open ' f trgnk)h, eoprrlght, tndwwood, 8. Y. by Undrwoo4 Lawton, Okla.
