(UP) A 47 year;old WPA worker told from his hospital bed last night of being trapped for 10 harrowing hours with only his head and shoulders pro truding from treacherous swamp land mud, which gradually was suck ing him down. Three young hunters walking along the banks of the old Illinois-Michigan canal heard the feeble cries of Mike Dlgllo and traced them to a bog at the edge of the canal. Edttard Novak, 10, and Veto Rad ii Is, IB, immediately began frantic efforts to release the trapped man, while Russell Novak, 16, ran to summon help. Deputy Sheriffs Harold Pandrey and Tony Klrlnclch helped them pull Dlgllo from the freezing mud to dry land. An ambulance was sum moned, a fire built and the mud stiffened garments stripped from him. At the hospital where he received treatment for exposure, Dlgllo said he was taking a short cut on his way home from work Wednesday. "I cut through the swamp," he said, "and I was almost to hard ground when my feet began to break through the mud. "It was up to my ankles first. and then In a couple of steps X was up to my knees. X kept struggling. but the harder I tried to get out, the deeper I sank." When help reached him the mud almost had reached his chin. Physicians who examined him, said he would be able to leave the hos pital In a few days. A nurse gave him a belated Thanksgiving day turkey dinner. PORTLAND TRADE TAKES UPSWING ' PORTLAND, Nov. 38.
