RESCUED FROM
LIVING TOMB
Miner Who Had Been Buried In Mud
Is Taken Out After
49, Seven Days.

NEGAUNEE, Mich. Dee. 2l.--After
being entombed I'm the Cleveland
CEns Iron Co s mine for seven DAYS,
Frank Condello was rescued alive last
night. He was buried coo feet be.
meath the surface a week ago yester-
day. along with three other men who
were caught by mud slide. Peter
Mundi was found dead near Condello.
but the other two men have not Deen
reached.
Condello is I'm surprisingly good con-
dition. He was buried In "A space only
few feet square, and was without
food. He had plenty OF water. how.
ever. and when he was taken out or
the mine he was able to walk with
only one man supporting him.
The rescued miner is married and
his is happy home. Mourning has
turned TO JOY. for hardly anyone sup.
posed that any OF the men could still
aged about 80.
The four miners were entombed
when stream OF mud suddenly gush-
cd into the sub-level whore they were.
II is supposed that in firing blast a
hole was broken through the roof.
The mud was as thin as batter and
IL coursed It's way into the mine like
so much water. II poured from the
eub-level into the main level for 200
feet This made rescue work difficult.
but removal OF the slime proceeded
without a minutes intermission ever
since the accident.
Now that one man has been found
alive tho rescue work continues with
renewed vigor In the hope OF saving
the two miners still entombed. They
are Oscar Wattalli, married. and Vic
tor Makki, single. II Is not known in
just what part OF the sub-level they
are. but IL is hoped TO fnd them with
in the next "a hours.
Condello is in the Negaunee hospital.
He will be out in time 10 spend Christ
mas with his family, il is said.

Against VIM. Cottreil Estate.

case OF Martin Crocker, "A Mt. Glenn

He has already received $3.72S. The
heirs are fighting the payment OF such
large fee, claiming il is eXtortionate
Crocker's bill as presented shows
that on Aug. 10. 1907, when the estate
was placed in his hands. he charged
a retainer OF 500. In September he
makes another carge OF 500 as a re.
tainer as special administrator. lhcn
on April 2s. 1909, he makes another
charge as retainer OF $4,000. In his
hook he explains that owing 10 the
business OF the estate and the litiga-
tion in which Il was involved. he
found his previous charges had been
too modest. He also charges interest
at the usual rate on his own bill. one
charge being on $4,000 and another
on $4,000.
Attorney r. A. +. Weadock was a
witness for the plaintiff Tuesday. and
he said that he considered Mr.. Crock

The Charles D. Goldthwaite home was the scene yesterday afternoon of a hos pitality of more than passing interest when Mrs. Goldthwaite and Mrs. J. c. Goldthwaite opened their doors in a gen. eral invitation to their friends to bid them farewell before their departure. They will leave in few days for eastern resorts and will not return here before going to Little Rock, Ark, to make it their future home.
 The hours of the reception were from 5:40 to ' o'clock, the most delightful hours of perfect day, and a large num- Der of guests called to say goodbye to the hostesses, who were never more gracious in their welcome than in this, their last hospitality. The interior of the residence was beautiful with It's bright-colored flowers, clusters of great golden sunfowers giving a brilliant set ting for the fashionable gathering. A champagne punch was served on the porch which was a pretty retreat with its masses of red znnias and dahlias. Presiding at the punch table were Miss Marie Pinckard and Miss Florence Rog- CTS, who were the only friends asked to assist the hostesses in receiving their guests.
 Mrs. Charles Goldthwaite. who is one of the most beautiful of Birmingham s young matrons, was especially lovely yes terday afternoon in pink, shade ex- tremely becoming and developed in soft silk null.
