BY THE
FAITH Of
WIFE

FRANKLIN, Feb. 24.-T0day
Mike Babsanld lies at home, sur
rounded by his wife and six chill
dren and congratulating friends,
after being for seven days a pris-
oner at the end of an air chute i'm
the Canon mine here. The same
cave-in killed Babsanki's friend,
Andrew Chernik, whose body was
recovered Thursday last week.
Guided by strange present
ment, Mrs. Babsanki appeared at
the mines yesterday morning and
implored miners to try once more
to rescue her husband, assuring
them that he lay alive near the
point where they had first dug
and then abandoned work.
Voice Guided Her.
Saturday Mrs. Babsanki, believ-
ing herself widow, went to
Black Diamond to buy mourning.
A strange presentment halted her
at the entrance to a store and
she returned home. Sunday night
she declares she heard her hus-
bands voice directing her where
he could be found. Today he is
safe at home and on the road to
recovery Of his health and
strength.
Digging was begun in the old
cut at the insistent request of
Mrs. Babsanki an dat 4:10>yes-
terday afternoon her husband was
found In a hole eighteen inches
high by four feet broad and less
than ten feet long.
When Stanley Smith, one of
the rescuers, planted his pick in
the imprisoned wall its point went
through the dirt into a cavity.
Mike, are you there?" Babsan-
XII answered In q voice scarcely
audible.
Air and Water.
Several men set at work clear
ing an entrance to the cavity and
few minutes later Babsanki was
taken from his resting place for
the last seven days on a blanket
too weak to aid himself. That
he was alive is due to the fact
that the cave-in which imprison-
ed him brought a running stream
of water into the tunnel and in
this way ample air was furnished
the prisoner. His account OF how
the cave-in caught him and his
partner, Andrew Chenik, is one
Of a terrible experience.

vocal music was given.
