  1894 'NEWS OF THE WEEK A man named Edward Wimbridge, who bas been knocking about here for some time, was found dead in a well about 10 miles beyond Oxenham's and 3O miles east of Mingenew. Woogea ia the name of the well The news was brought in on the night of the 1st inst and P.o. Simpson went out next morning. Deceased had been drinking rather heavily lately, but oould not have been drunk at tbe tame, as be was passed by a man going eastward to whom he appeared to be sober. Wimbridge is supposed to have been in the well about eight days, but Simpson says there was no diffleulty in recognizing him, besides whioh a pocket book with his name in it was found in one of his pocket. The water in the well is within a foot cf the surface and several strong stakes are across the well so that it is not at all likely that the unfortunate man could have fallen in accidently whilst endeavouring to get a drink.
