building is to be located on block num-
ber 127, which is bounded by Eigh-
teenth, Nineteenth, Champa and Stout

HICKS RELEASED.
For Fifteen Days Confined In Living
Tomb.

Bakersfield, Call. B. Hicks, the
miner who was entombed by cave-in
in a tunnel of the Edison Electric
Power Company, December 9TH, was
rescued at 11:15 O'Clock Saturday
night, December 22d.
Hicks was entombed alive under
sixty feet of debris fifteen days ago, in
the tunnel of the Edison Electric
Power Company, seventeen miles
northeast of the city. Five of his fel-
low workers were buried at the same
time by the cave in of thousands of
tons of earth and rock. The men had
just begun work in the tunnel, which
is being built to aid in generating
electric power from the waters of the
Kern river, when, without warning,
the perpendicular walls of the shaft
above them collapsed. No immediate
help could be rendered.
The work Of recovering the bodies
was Immediately began and prosecuted
with vigor, but owing to the yield
ing nature of the SOIL slow prosI ess
was made. Hope of rescuing any OF
the victims had been abandoned, when
three days after the disaster the sound
of tapping on water pipe in the
shaft was heard. Instantly a response
was sent, and the answering raps
plainly proved that at least one of the
imprisoned miners was alive.
1t proved to be Hicks, former SOL
der and and expert miner, whose life
had been saved by steel car, under
which he was pinned. His fivo COM
panions were dead.
Fearing to dislodge the debris in
the shaft, the rescuing party began
work on a drift from the side of the
hill, and work was not suspended day
or night. Hicks was given milk
through the pipe and soon showed
signs of renewed vigor. He said that
during the days previous to his discov-
cry he had subsisted on plug OF
chewing tobacco. Thereafter during
the long hours of his Imprisonment in
closely-cramped quarters he was kept
well nourished. Every effort was made
made to keep his mind in cheerful
mood, SO that it might not become un-
balanced by his surroundings.
The stencil from the remains of the
dead miners was perccptible at the
surface of the ground and was intense
in close quarters where Hicks was con
fined. A photograph was placed Sc
that the lonely man could be enter
tanned by music. He also was in al
most constant communication with his
friends. Only at rare intervals did he
seem Respondent and frequently sent
words of cheer to those upon the out
side.
His rescue was a most difficult piece
of work, and that it was accomplished
at al is regarded as marvellous by all
those acquainted with the conditions
which were met and overcome.

boat when he staggered and fell uncon'
scious. He was quickly removed to the
New York hospital, where he received
treatment as private patient. The
bishop regained consciousness and the
indications of the twenty-four hours
following were that the shock had been
slight one. At that time his condi.
tion gave promise of speedy recovery
and the former health of the patient en-
couraged this hope. Just before the
attack he had walked briskly and car
ried n grip weighted with books and
papers without apparent fatigue.

Ohio conference OF the Methodist

tary with the board OF church exten-
sion.
