LOCAL MAN CA UGHT IN MINE WHEN BOY ,-, . ' Plight of Floyd Collins Recalls Experience Statehouse Employe Had Years Ago,

The plight "of Floyd Collins, imprisoned in Sand Cave at Cave City, Ky., is fully appreciated by William Briddick, 71, 515 N. Senate Ave., messenger in the office of the State printing board, who recalled today his experience whilq working in a mine in the north of England when he was 14 years old. ‘‘Every one worked in the mines from the time he was able to drive a pony in those days ” Briddick said. "We used little Shetland ponies to pull up the coal. I was 14 and I wasn’t much larger than my pony. Alone With Pony ‘‘l was alone with the pony in an ‘off-shoot,’ miles below ground, one day. Suddenly I heard a loud crash and between me and freedom thousands of tons of coal and rock choked the passage. I don’t suppose I was missed until evening, when I failed to show up at the entrance. Anyway, it was two days before they got to me. "Meanwhile the pony and I had nothing to eat or drink and nothing to do but get better acquainted. He knew something was wrong.

Pony Is Out First “Finally, after hours and hours, a pick crashed through the wall that imprisoned us. The pony had been getting more nervous as he heard the picking outside.

The square contains a number of crosses. With two straight lines, divide the square into four sections so that each section will contain an equal number of crosses! Last puzzle answer: Henry’s age is 20; Henrietta’s is 12. Henry’s age is twice what Henrietta’s age was when Henry was six years older than Henrietta is now. (For when Henry was 18, Henrietta was 10; half of 20.) When Henrietta is six years older than Henry is now their combined ages (26 and- 34) will equal the age that their mother will then be. (The mother will then be 60—fourteen years hence.) The mother is now 46 (which is sixty less fourteen).
