Mine at Finleyville, the | scene Wednesday noon of an explosion in which from 100 to 115 men lost their lives. Suffering untold agonies from the shock of the explosion and exposure, the men, Charles Crawl and Philip Leg- ler, each thirty-six y old, were brought to the surface almost uncon- scious. ‘That they survived the explosion and poisonous gases of the mine for sixty hours is ered miraculous. After the expert helmetmen and mine inspectors had left the mine late last night J. MoVickers and Clyde Gibson of the coal company's resoue crew en- tered to search for bodies, They had reached a point two and a half miles from the entrance when they heard a faint cry. Investigation disclosed the two miners alive in what is known as room 10 or entry 2. ‘They were barely conscious and had to be dragged through the long tunnels to the opening. Crawi is a widower and has two chil- dren, His first words when rescued were @ plea to see his children. When brought out a message was found scribbled in chalk on a leg of his overalls, reading, “Goodby, my children! God bless yor At the hospital this morning Crawl had recovered sufficiently to tell this story Le and I were cating lunch in the room ¢ we were found shortly after 12.8; o'clock Wednesday afternoon when we heard a dull explosion, which seemed far away. We finished our lunch. Then I began to get nervous, as I did not hear the other miners at work, and went to investigate, I found dead miners lying all around, and then I knew what told Legler to follow me, and we crawled into the old workings in an effort to find ® way out. We had only a slice of bread apiece and quenched our thiret with sulphur water from the mine ficor, We crawled and crawled, but could not find any way out. I gave up hope sev- eral times, but as long as my strength lasted we kept crawling. Legler wanted to He down and die, but I urged him on.” “In room 23, entry 10, we found an old man and his son. They were alive, but could not move. We tried to capry them, but their welght was too great, for we were exhausted. When we left them my mind seemed to wander, but I held to Legler's hand and in some way we got back to where we had started from after the explosion.’ Legier furnished a eimple account of his experiences, giving credit to Crawl for oa his life, “Only tor Crawl” he sald, “I would have given up 100 faares See but me on.
