MINERS RESCUED
BY HEROIC WORK
Seven Entombed Men Found
in Good Shape
WORKERS ALMOST DEAD
In Water Up to Their Chins They
Stay Five Hours Trying to Reach
Men Imprisoned Friday BY
Flood of Water.
WORKERS ALMOST DEAD

Johnstown, Pa, April 30.--After being
entombed since last Friday noon in the
Berwind- White Coal company mine No. 80
at Foustwell, near here, the seven miners
who were cut off from the world by a
sudden rush of water caused by the break
ing of a wall of an abandoned mine were
rescued at 10 o'clock tonight
The men were greatly exhausted. Owing
to their weakened condition 1t was de-
cided not to bring them out until after
the mine had been drained. The men
were reached at 10 O'Clock by Stiney
Rodon and Charles Ream, who made a
dash trough fifty feet of water filled
heading. Earlier in the day John Boyla
brother of one of the imprisoned men,
and three comrades made a futile at
tempt to reach the men. They came back
half drowned and reported that the posi-
tlons of the heading were still completely
filled with water, and that more pumping
would have to be done before the inn
prisoned men could be rescued.
The efforts at pumping were then re-
doubled. At 10 o'clock the water had so
far gone down that it was resolved to
to the overcast, wnere 1t was believed
the unfortunate men were still alive
Stiney Rodon and Charles Ream volun-
teered for the service. Over hour
elapsed before either was heard FROM
and then Ream came swimming back
through the heading bringing the first
news from the imprisoned seven. The
effort had nearly exhausted Ream. He re-
ported that the seven men 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 1t was resolved to allow them to
remain where they were until the heading
had been pumped out Ream and his COM
rade carried to the imprisoned men simply
flask of brandy and a little water. He
reported that Mike Boyla had, since the
breaking Of the walls between the aban-
doned workings, been In charge of the
movements of his comrades. Boyla Is ac-
quainted with every turn of the mine in
which he was imprisoned. When the flood
broke out he led his comrades to the
highest point in the heading where the
overcast" was situated. Under Boyla's
direction each man before fleeing seized
his lunch basket. When they arrived at
the overcast every lamp but one was ex-
tingushed and one by one the lamps were
each burned out, until when they were
reached by Rodon and Ream there was
but single light remaining and that in
danger of running low at any time.
OF the danger they faced the darkness
was the most terrible.
When stock was taken of the available
supplies of provisions it was found that
three baskets were but half emptied. This
scanty store of rations was husbanded un-
til Monday morning, since when the men
have had nothing to eat. During the
whole time they have gone without water,
fearing to drink the water from the aban-
doned workings.
