ENT0MBED MINER RESCUED,
 BUT IS A HAVING MANIAC

Pittsburg. Pa,. Dec. 30.--After being imprisoned for three days in Ellsworth No. l mine. at Ellsworth, thirty miles from here. John O. Millian, 26 years of age. a Slav miner. was released from his underground dungeon a rav- ing maniac today. He was taken to the county home at Arden.
 OMillian went to work Thursday last in small room off the main en- try of the mine and ignited his blast. The charge proved so strong that it loosened enough earth to cause a fall which blocked effectuallv- exit from the room. All his efforts to attract atten- tion were in vain and he might have been entombed until yet but for the accidental discovery of his plight
 A number of mine officials while go- ing through the diggins to see that everything was safe, came to the point where OMillian was entombed. They at once saw something was wrong When the debris was cleared away, the officials were astonished to find a man dash among them from the room, knocking two of the rescuers down, and put up a vigorous fight before he was overpowered.
 Nothing could be done for the Slav to restore his mental balance. He was insane from hunger and fear.
