A man named Nathaniel McARTHUR fell into a well at Bideford and was drowned. - 'P.E.I. Examiner'

Referring to the recent drowning in a well of Mr. Nathaniel McArthur, of Tyne Valley, recorded in The EXAMINER some days ago, the Agriculturist of this morning learns that Mr. McArthur, who had not been feeling well for some time, got up early on the morning of the accident, and it is supposed that he went to a field and drove his geese up to the well, which is a boxed one, to give them water. The supposition is that in shoving the covering aside he lost his balance and fell in. When found he was erect in the water and quite dead. Examiner Monday July 9, 1888
