AT TIE MOUTH OF SAND

Collins is entombed. Working fran

than 80 feet before nightfall.
We should break through to Col
Inns by Saturday noon,' Brigadier
General II. H. Denhardt, officer in
charge said. But I doubt if he
can live that long.
DR. William II. Ilazlctt,. surgeon
Of Chicago, said he could obtain
$4,000 from a Chicago family to
finance the rescue. The funds are
said to have been offered by the
Mccormick family of harvester
fame.
Local Red Cross officials said
they did not wish to burden any
one group with the expense. They
prefer to receive subscriptions from
all parts of the country.
Mrs. Jennie Collins, Floyd S step
mother, visited the cave today for
the first time. As she saw the
yawning crevice she collapsed. Col,

to a statement made this morn

The sample of the cotton was
given to Harrigan by Secretary
