    Well and killed it. When coming out from the place where the well was situated the boy and they dog lost their senses and got queer. Every day after that he was continually screaming and never stopped. He could only eat a little and the servants had to beat him with switches to keep him quiet. Within a month he died on the month July. Some neighbours trashing into some few fields away had to go tho their houses and shut all doors and windows from the smell that came from the dead boys body.
