Forty miners were caught by food

Station, three miles from Uniontown.
Pa, by a sudden rush OF water down
the mountain sides.
Fourteen of the men were drowned
and there was little chance for the
rescue OF the other twenty-six. who
had sought safety in the highest points
In the mine. Rescuers could not get
10 them.
The town OF Evans itself was in
danger OF being swept away by the
torrent that rushed down the noun
tain side. entering the mines at several
points.
Cool Spring reservoir. the largest
In Fayette county. was reported TO be
leaking badly. II was feared that the
entire reservoir might go out. In that
event several populous towns would
be in dire danger

Rescue parties were quickly formed
at the mines. but we're bafiied In their
efforts to get to the imprisoned and
probably drowning men. The first re-
ports said that all the men had per-
ished in the rush OF water. but a res
cue party sent from Uniontown re-
ported that most of the miners had
taken refuge In the upper workings.
Water began flowing into the mine.
driving miners at work there into the
remote sections Of the hole. So swift
was the current that the rescue party
could not enter the workings through
the ordinary entrances and we're low
cred through ventilators. but we're able
to do little. The wives and children OF
the entombed miners congregated At
the mouth OF the pit, and despite the
danger OF being swept into the mine.
stood In water knee deep and urged
the rescuing parties to make haste.
