aged 50, is in a critical condition AZ
Fairmont hospital where he was
brought following the accident.
Enciarmo was entering the mine and
had attached a heavy chain which is
used in moving the cars 10 a horse
which he was driving In order 10
keep the hook on the chain from catch
ing or the ties of the railway leading
into the mines the man hooked the
chain TO the belt which he wore about
his waist.
As the horse and driver proceeded
into the mine a fall Of slate occurred.
This frightened the animal which ran
away and dragged Enciarmo n consid.
cradle distance The hook attached to
the mans waist penetrated his abdo.
men completely disembowling him
He was Immediately placed upon an
intcrurban car and brought 10 this city
and taken to Fairmont hospital where
he was operated on. This afternoon he
had recovered from the anesthetiC and
told hospital officials he would recov.
or. However information from that in
stituti0n is to the effect that he will
hardly survive the accident.

PIlVE DIVIDES ARMIES
But in Many Places the ltal-
\ ians Have Pushed Out
Bridge Heads.

AuStTia's army is again beyond the
Pave and the river line once more
bars the enemy from the Venetian
plains. The Austrian forces not only
we're pursued to the river but the Ital.
lanB az points have occupied strong
bridge beads on the eastern bank.
How thorough the Italian victory has
been Is not yet clear as every hour
brings reports OF increasing Austrian
losses. Many thousands of the invad.
oT8 were killed in their attempt 10 re.
gain the eastern bank Of the river, and
the latest announcement from General
DiaE places the number Of prisoners at
10000. On report places the Austrian
casualties at 100000 men.
n addition the enemy lost large
stores OF munitions, supplies and many
guns.
Apparently the sudden torrent in the
PiaVe which played hovoc with Aus.
tFian communication fell as quickly
as e arose and the river bed was dry
when the Austrian retreat began.
u has been reported that Baron
BuTian. the Austro.Hungarian foreign
minister, told the German command
that grave events, possibly revolution,
would follow IN the dual monarchy if
al AultTian attack which Germany in
listed on was repulsed There have
been no reports that the disorder and
