q man lowered on a rope carefully re-
moved the remaining sand and brought
Allen to the surface.
Allen was conscious when rescued,
but very weak. He said he had been
unable to help himself. as his feet
were firmly held by piece of plank

to work one Of his feet free, but an
other cave-in buried the tools and left
him as helpless as before.
An improvised divers helmet made
from a barrel was lowered into the
hole just about midnight last night
and the man was supplied with air by
pump. Food and stimulants were fed
70 him through a tube. Physicians who
have been in attendance during the
day said that he probably would suffer

to Set Bed Afire While
He Slept.

Joseph A. HerZberg, in suit for
separation filed yesterday IN the Su-
preme Court, against Mrs. Ray Herr
berg. alleges that his wife threatened
to saturate the bed with gasolene while

treatment. says that he found il I'M
safe to live with his wife.
Herzberg is manufacturer at IL
West 25th ST.; his wife has a dress
making establishment az 1888 Broad
way. They were snarried in 1888. in
San Francisco. They parted in May
last, after Herzberg had warned his
wife that he would not contribute 20
her support unless she changed her
conduct toward him and quit in her
persistence that il was her mission 20
kill him. There was a temporary truce
on this basis, but the alleged spirit
of vengeance, which the husband said
his wife showed. again manifested It
self.

wife struck him, the rings on her
fingers cutting cash in his face.
Another time, the husband alleged,
Mrs. Herzberg followed him to his
place Of business and shouted: Il will
kill you! will shoot yOss"
