BURIED ALIVE
FATE OF CANADIAN MINERS United Press Association—By Electric Teleeranh— Conyrlgb* QUEBEC, December 8. A message from the Thetford mines in Quebec Province states that seven miners were buried alive by a slide following a dynamite blast in the Bell asbestos mine and two hours later rescue crews found that all were dead. They were married men, and 34 children are now fatherless. Arthur Hudson, the lone survivor, described a sound like a hurricane. He threw himself on the floor of a railway car and a moment later a huge mass of asbestos hurled the car to safety and engulfed the remainder of the men.
