Miss Fannie Broyles is alive today
at her home near here.
A brother, James Broyles, who
stood about the casket with other
mourning relatives, noticed a twitch-

funeral services were halted and
resuscitation efforts began. In a
short time the girl was able to talk.
She said she was aware of all that
occurred around her as she lay in
the casket but, still stunned from a
blow on the head from a tree limb
that fell upon her, she was unable
to move or speak.
Finally, she said, her fear Of be-
ing buried alive must have revived
her nerves so that one eyelid flut-
tered. ~ &,
Under a physicians. care since
Saturday, when the supposedly dead
girl came back to life, she is de-
clared to have fully recovered.
The Broyles live in remote
hamlet on the Madison county line
and the story as brought here did
not indicate whether a physician
had pronounced the girl dead, OF
whether the usual practice Of sum-
moning an undertaken had been
followed.

7 Miners
Killed in
Gas Blast
Bodies of Victims Brought to
Surface Today After Res. :,
cuers Work All Night

Johnston City, ILL.,, Dec. 21.-(R)-
The bodies of seven miners, killed
last night in an explosion Of gas in
the Steritz coal mine near here,
were brought 20 the surface today
after all night work by three mine
rescue teams.
Those killed were:
William Jones, David Anderson,
Charles Wyatt, Fred eagle. George
Grubbs, G. Garrota and Almus
Lavender.
Rescue workers from Herrin,
Benton and Saline county under
Arthur Plumlee, Williamson county
mine inspector, worked throughout
tho night in an attempt to reach the
entombed men. The seven bodies
recovered were found about mile
and a half from the bottom Of the
shaft. Rescuers were forced to use
an air shaft to bring the bodies up,
the main shaft being demolished by
the explosion, caused presumably by
the ignition Of gas.
The mine, one of the largest in
Williamson county, employs 500
men on the day shift. Only 20 men
were endangered by the blast. The
remaining 13 made their escape by
elevator.
