SAVE ENTOMBED MINE BOSS
Kntered Pit to Rescue Miner—Found Nearly Dead 28 Hours Later. McAlester, Okla., Dec. 31. —After -having been entombed twenty-eight hours in a smoke-filled cut of the Bo-len-Darneir coinpsrhy’a coal mine, Superintendent John Brown has been rescued alive but unconscious. Had his rescuers failed to reach him, Brown would surely have died within another hour. As it is, his condition is serious, but the mine physicians believe he has a light chance for life. Brown, who is a well known mining man of Hartford, Ark., and Pit Foreman Weatherford risked their lives in an attempt to rescue Angelo Asnicar, a shotErer, who was entombed on one of the lower levels. The superintendent apparently had not reached even close to the E>oint where Asnicar had been overcome when he himself succumbed to the foul gases and smoke. The shottirer’s fate still remains unknown.
