SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

BAKERSFIELD, Dec "a
Lindsay B. Hicks, just released
from his living tomb, is prepared
to celebrate Christmas at the hos
pital OF the Edison Electric Com
pany Camp No. p The pres
ence of this remarkable person
age will make memorable a
Christmas tree party and dinner
to be given by DR.. and Mrs. H. c.
Stinchheld to number of those
who participated in the work OF
rescue.
Hicks arose this morning early
after good nights rest and, ac-
companied by DR.. Stinchheld and
the latter's 4-year-old daughter,
went into the woods to cut tree
for tomorrow. The selection was
made and DIR. Stinchhe1d allowed
the miner to fell the tree, which
was done quickly. Hicks felt
much stronger, and walked with
out the aid OF support

been fattened at Democrat

dressed and ready to be placed in

When tomorrow is passed Hicks will

side agents were into town today. anx-

aster. Hicks at the hospital is prac-
tically cut of from them, and, so far
as known. he has not been approached
One agent said today that he had a
proposition under which. if Hicks will
accept, he will guarantee the miner
$500 a week. The managers are In
clined to believe that Hicks as a draw
ing card will last only short time. and
for this reason the rivalry between
them is marked.
