They were found on top of a chute in which they had crawled to- escape a flood of water that had broken from &n abandoned working and caused more than 300 feet of gangway roof tr)} fall, shutting off means of escape. The men are now in the hospital at Coal- dale and reports from there hold promise that all will recover. None of them, however, was in condition last night to tell of their harrow- ing experience.

ASYLUM AT TRUMBULL STREET, values popular than ever, a great variety of all the every thing in middies can be found here The rescued men are Elmer Her- ring, Peter Lemmick, Joseph Mur- phy John McAndrew, Dominick Hotcheck, John Dononus, Michael Bodsidy, Joseph Lagunis and Charles Matchakis- Two fellow mine workers, William Watkins and George Holley- wood, escaped from the underground prison on Tuesday after crawling through holes made in the falling rock and coal Battled Six Days. The rescue was accomplished after 200 mine workers and company of- ficials had battled for six days against discouraging conditions in chok- ed up gangway Their task was made more difficult by a three-foot stream of water which flowed from an adjoining working and which coul& be regulated only by constant opera- tion of many pumps. After blasting and tearing away more than 300 feet of solid rock, coal and timBers that had been wedged tightly into the gangway by the fall of roof, rescue forces early today reached an open space back of chute No. 24, down while the stream of water poured from the undermined source. Once more their work was checked by the presence of a wooden platform resembling a large raft was built above the surface of the water and further progress was made to- ward the chutes in which the men bad taken refuge. Huddled on Top of Chute- At the top of chute No. 27 down which the coal from upper veins is thrown to the loading cars the pitiful group of huddled humanity was dis- covered. It was intensely cold in the little space and the rescuers found the nin€é ‘men, two of whom are scarcely out of their teens, curled up in a compact mass to retain the warmth of their bodies. All were terribly weakened by their 150 hours of waiting and praying, and with wan faces uplifted and eyes blinking at the strain of the unfamiliar lights, the men in weak voices shouted greetings to their rescuers. ‘With such dispatch and system had the rescue work been carried on that no report of the finding of the men had traveled to the outside world be- fore the first of the stretcher-hear- ers emerged from the mouth of the tunnel and lifted their burden into the ambulances. The report quickly spread through the crowds of ap- proximately 5,000 persons who had traveled from twenty miles around in the hope that they would witness the final scenes of the rescue work. Joy at the recovery of the miners mani- fested itself in one great shout from the spectators. Lived on Fish Oil- Several of the rescued men talked cheerfully to ‘their stretcher bearers while being taken from the mine and from then it was learned that fish oil and a few crushed chicken bones had made up their principal diet until Thursday, when the latter “delicacy” gave out and the fish oil composition proved to be the only item on the bill of fare Each of the men had in his pock- cts several cakes of a fish oil sub- stance that is used by mine workers in lamps and which gives a smokeless flame. One of them, John Bononus, has for many years held a reputation for his enormous appetite and the size of the dinner can that is required to contain his midday meal. When the rush of water forced in the roof, Bononus, according to the story of to chute No. 27, keeping a firm grip on the dinner pail. This probably is what saved the men from starvation. One Miner’s Full Dinner Pail. In the pail Bononus had a large quantity of bread, other articles of food found in most miners’ cans, xnd the greater part of a roast ch en- All of the food was shared among his companions, but the chicken was sav- ed until last Not knowing how long they would be held prisoners, the men partook of their food in small quan- tities and after carefully cutting off all the meat from the bones placed i Makers of the Hlfi}u.'t - Grade Turkich and Boyptian Cigaretics in the World. the latter back in the dinner pail for a reserve supply. More than forty-eight hours before their rescue, as near as the men could determine, the reserve supply of chicken bones was passed around, and ‘then, according to the men who could talk, were ground between their teeth and partaken of in small quantities. For the past two days. however, they had been without food. HONOR RILEY BIRTHDAY. ‘Washington.
