The impris oned miner, Clary, was taken from the mine, where he was caught by a cave-In last Sunday, and where he stood in the water since that time until rescued this morning. The crowd followed along when he was taken home, and hundreds lin gered to watch the meeting between mother and son. Clary was in good shape this af ternoonr following a short sleep, and was able to tell something of what he had gone through during his long period of imprisonment In the bowels of the earth. "I wps never very badly scared, even at first," he said. "The roof of the drift was solid limestone, and I knew it would not cave In. The air was bad from the very start, and kept getting worse. It seemed like am age before I heard the thumping which apprised me that they were making an attempt to rescue me. Then the thumping ceased, and I knew that the hole had missed. "Time had almost stopped. It seemed, before I again heard sounds. Gradually the pounding grew plainer and plainer, until a hole appeared In the side of the drift, and I got a breath of- fresh air. I kept getting hungrier, until finally I thought I could eat a plug of tobacco, If I had one. 1 "The water climbed up, until It finally reached my armpits. When the drill came through the roof of the drift toward the shaft, I felt as If I had received the best news I had ever heard. Then I heard some one shout, and milk and whiskey were passed down through the hole. They were the best things I ever tasted. ''I wasn't afraid then, for I knew I was safe, .and they would get me out unless there was another cave In."
