EATONBED SEVENTEEN DAYS
Lindsay Hicks, Survivor of California
Shaft Disaster, Now on The
atrical Circuits.

Lindsay 3. Hicks, the man whose
name appeared in every newspaper in
the land during the time of his re-
markable Imprisonment in a shaft near
Bakersfield, in California, for seventeen
days, is in the city. Mr.. Hicks is rest
ing. He is not recovered from his ter
rlble experience, and perhaps he never
viii. The suffering he underwent, the
mental and physical distress, left his
nervous system in deplOTable state.
Hicks was one OF a company of six
miners VINO were at work in a shaft
being sunk by the Edison company
twenty Eight miles from Bakersfield.
There was a cave-in and 105 feet of
earth was on top of them. The shaft
was a nine-foot hole. Hicks was the
only survivor. He lay entOmbed sew
enteen days beTeft of the ability to
move his body, except for a slight use
of his arms. Chewing tobacco kept his
soul within his corporal self four
days, when pipe was driven through
the shale and dirt. The first pipe sent
down was an ordinary gas pipe an
inch and a quarter in diameter. This
line proved a failure, for it bent and
broke in its progress. Then hydraulic
core was inserted within the first pipe
and tipped with a steel point, was, inch
by inch, sunk to where Hicks lay. The
pine came 10 his prison a few inches
from the left side of his face, but too
far away for him to reach it with his
mouth.
Fortunately he had in his possession
one of those convenient little arrange
ments, a cOrkscrew in a wooden case
After much labor Mr.. Hicks bored a
hole through the closed end of the lit
tie wooden tube. Inserting this into
the hole in the hydraulic tube, Hicks
was enabled to connect his mouth with
the pipe. After that things were
easier, for milk was poured into him
and upon him in great quantities, and
for the number Of days stated he was
the original sucking calf.
Finally q tunnel ninety-six feet long
was driven into the side of the noun
tain, and Hicks was rescued.
Now Hicks, under the management

SETTLEMENT IS LIKELY
Speedy End of Iron Workers Strike
at San Francisco Is
Probable.

San Francisco. May 2-The outlook for
an early settlement of the strike of the
iron workers who went out yesterday to
enforce the demands for an eight-hour
day. is more favorable tonight. During
the day a more conciliatOry disposition
manifested itself both among the stTik-
ing men and their employees, which IL is
believed will result in settling the strike
by arbitration.
This afternoon a committee from the
Iron Trades council representing the
unions, called upon the Metal Trades as
ISOLATION, asked for a conference and de-
sired to have the opinion of the employ
ers as to how the controversy might best
be submitted to arbitration The execu-
tive committee Of the Metal Trades asso-
citation, composing the iron works, found
ries and shops affected, gave the COM
mittee from the unions a sealed answer to
be submitted to the Iron Trades council
reply to this is to be given the en-
ployers by tomorrow night.
j. J. lyman of the executive committee
of the association stated tonight that he
believed the strike would be amicably set
tied within a few days.
The first blood of the strike was drawn
this morning when an iron molder on his
way to work was set upon and beaten
by five holders helpers, who afterward
made their escape. Warrants have been
issued for their arrest and the police are
looking for them.

stored in large canvas bags. They had
only gotten to the door when nine police
men appeared and a desperate fight oc-

killed
After the encounter. according to the
dream, the German was commanded in an
epilogue revelation to warn the police at
once SO that they could be on their guard
when the bank was broken into.
The German did not act at once as COM
manded in the revelation and as a result
did not sleep for three nights, so great
was his anxiety he suffered so much from
a sense of guilt at not obeying the COM
mand that at last his conscience fairly
dragged him to police headquarters.
As the burglars failed TO get away II is
believed the dream will not be fulfilled
during the Sheets administration.
