Butte, Mont, Aug. 29.-After facing death
for twenty-four hours, ''Con" Sullivan. a Utah
miner, was rescued today by force of about
fifty miners who had been working in gangs Of
three and four with fever1sh haste.
Sullivan was on his first shift, having come
here from Eureka, Utah, to bury his brother,
who was killed by mine cavetn about three
weeks ago. He was working on the 100-foot level
Of the Mountain Consolidated mine when a cave
of many tons of rock entombed and almost
crushed him to death.
Sullivan had barely enough room to stretch
himself out and with rare presence Of mind,
tho death lowered over him, devoted many
hours Of his Imprisonment to sleep, believing
he could thus better preserve his strength, as
the air was rapidly growing bad and he feared
suffocation. By tapping on the walls Sullivan
was able to communicate with his fellow
| miners, letting them know that he was stu
alive. r.. ~ o. =. .. I ..f@
When rescurers reached him he emerged from
| his narrow prison with smile on his counte-
nance and, unassisted, climbed the ladder to the
top. Over 100 miners had gathered at the shaft
! and he was accorded an ovation.
While swimming in pond at the foot OF
| Montana street early last evening, Charles L.
| Morse, 1O-year-old boy was drowned. The ac-
cident occurred in the presence of five playmates,
| who were unable to lend any assistance. The
| 10y was rescued by man after his body had
gone to the bottom and. altho he was still
| breathing when brought to the surface, he lived
only a few minutes. 81 eg~s s = s.E
