Forewarned by nature of the dangers that existed for those who dared to explore her uncharted chasms, Collins descended into a narrow passageway of Sand Cave last Friday in search of a "cavern more beautiful than Mammoth Cave." How far he went no one knows, but "at the end of his rainbow." He found what he sought, he said. Jubilant. perhaps overanxious to come out and tell of his discovery, Collins was emerging from the cave when, within 325 feet of the mouth, a boulder pinioned his left foot.

There he lay 24 hours, crying for help and trying in vain to wrirele his foot free before Guarantee The famous Kox Guarantee with everv Fur Coat 2 years' free renal r.

The sandstone formation was treacherous, an untoward move and a ton of earth might further block the cavern. One leader after another of the rescue work collapsed. The physical exhaustion of going down, usually head first; the cold, penetrating darkness; the muck and the mud on the floor and the foul air rapidly sapped their strength and they had Eo be taken out.

How Collins, motionless for more than Mf hours, dung to life was a mystery. All along the way bottles containing milk and water abandoned by those who attempted to reach Collins, gave evidence of the odds against the workers. Chances All Against Him Floyd Collins, if he is not already dead in his Sand Cave tomb, faces death in so many forms tha his chances of being brought out alive are exceedingly remote. No word from him or to him has passed since 4 o'clock this mornin? and he has not tasted food or coffee for 36 hours. Tonight his imprisonment lacked only a few hours of being a week long and his rescue was farther away than on the morning his plight was discovered.

If the prisoner lives and the wire was not severed; by today's uplift, there may be heat and light for Collin's.

At 2:30 this morning he repeatedly mumbled, "I am covered with dirt," and called for his mother, who Is dead, and his brothers. An hour and a half later a worker reported having heard Collins call: God. help me." Mpii with picks and shovels and with fallen hopes were digging a shaft in the bill above Sand Cave earlier in the day in their last effort to reach Collins alive. A moist earth, soaked by recent rains, began swelling early today and sealed up the narrow hole which twisted and dipped 135 feet to the place where Collins was held fast. The floor rose until it met the ceiling of the passageway an solid rock blocked all efforts.

No one has been able to reach him since then. The last person to report talking to Collins left the cave at 4 o'clock this morning and said he thought the victim waV delirious.

For several years Prof Weller has conducted field work in the sand cave region and said he is thoroughly familiar with it.

Prayer services for the cave explorer were held in many places; a surgeon was sent from Chicago to ampiitstf the foot, if possible: Louisville and other cities sent anything and did everything to help. Letter? and telegrams poured into the little way station, swamping the meagre wire facilities. These messages contained suggestions for aid or words of encouragement and cheer.

Through it all Collins' family had labored and prayed. Floyd's two brothers. Marshall and Homer, collapsed several days ago and were taken away tinder a physician's care. They returned, however, and after the last rescue party came out last night. Homer wanted to keen on trying.
