J~ohnstown, Pa, May latter being
entombed since last Friday noon in
Berwynd-White Coal Co.'S Mine No.
So at Foustwell, near here, the. seven
miners who we're shut off from the
work by a sudden rush of water
caused by the breaking of a wall OF
an abandoned mine, were rescued at
10 o'clock last night.
The men were reached at 10 o'clock
by Stiney RodOn and Charles Ream,
who made a dash through so feet of
water-filled heading, Earlier in the
day John BOlya, brother of one of the
imprisoned men, and three comrades
made a futile attempt to reach the
men. They came back half drowned
n reported that portions of the
heading were still completely filled
with water and that more pumping
would have to be done before the i'm
prisoned men could be reached. The
efforts at pumping were then re-
doubled. At 10 o'clock the water had
so far gone down that it was resolved
to make II more attempt 10 break
through to the overcast, where it was
believed the unfortunate men were
still alive. Stiney ROdOn and Chas.
Ream volunteered for the service.
Over an hour elapsed before either
man was heard from, and then Ream
came swimming back through the
heading bringing the first news from
the imprisoned even. The effort had
nearly exhausted Ream. He report
ed that the sever rsen were alive and
all in good shape, but that until more
pumping was done, the passage to the
place where they had taken refuge
was impossible to those who could
not swim. Then it was resolved to
allow them to remain where they
were until the heading had been
pumped out.
Took Their Lunch Baskets.
Ream and his cOmrade carried to
the imprisoned men simply a flask of
brandy and a little water. He re-
ported that Mike Bolya had, since the
breaking of the walls between the
abandoned workings, been in charge
OF the movements OF MS COnlrdueS.
Bolya is acquainted with every turn
of the mine. When the flood broke
out he led his comrades to the high
est point in the heading, wher~ NE
overcast was situated. Under Boil
vas direction, each man, before flee
irg, seized his lunch basket. When
they arrived at the Overcast every
lamp but one was eXtinguished and
one by one the lamps were each
burned out until when they were
reached by ROdOn and Ream, there
was but a single light remaining, and
that in danger of running low at any
time.
Ream said that at the place where
the men had sought refuge there had
been q supply of ties left for track
laying purposes. With these Bolya
and his comrades had built a platform
upon which they had sought refuge
and when found there they were not
only high, but dry.
