Regcuere Work Desperately to
Save Life—Oxygen Nearly
Gone When Reached.
Paterson, N. J., March 9.—Charles
Di Giacoma, 19, was In a serious con
dition in a hospital today, as the re
sult of his experience last night when
he was accidentally locked in a con
crete and steel vault by his pal, Wil
liam Templeton, a fellow worker- in
the People’s Park bank.
Di Giacoma was rescued after five
hours of feverish, unceasing toil by
relays of men who battered, burned
and drilled ther way to him while
crowds waited brethleesly outside for
word of his fate.
The first Judgment of the attending
physicians was that Dl Giacoma
would recover. Some thought his
mind might have been affected by his
imprisonment in the vault which,
8 feet high and 10 by 8 quare, was
nearly exhausted of Its 600 cubic feet
of oxygen, when his unconscious
body tVas lifted out through a narrow
opening. ,
Templeton, to whom he directed his
first semi-conscious inquiries after
the rescue, and who had collapsed
when he realized what he inad
vertently had done, was under the
care of a physician.
Di Giacoma and Templeton were
filing away the books of the bank Into
the vault after the bank closed.
Every night the two hurried to fin
ish that the winner might stand out
side and tease his fellow with threats
of slamming the safe door.
JTJwsif Q"t ]•** Tsmn'gtAO
called back, “I’m going to lock you
in.” He grabbed the heavy door and
slightly pushed It. He was horrified
to see it slip silently Into the panel
and lock with a smooth quietness
that chilled his blood. He summoned
firemen, burners with acetylene
torches and physicians. An ambu
lance was called.
The driver backed to the bank door,
kept his engine running and his hand
on the wheel.
After powerful blows that shattered
the concrete, workers made a small
hole In the eteel with an electric
drill and a hose through which oxygen
flowed was thrust Into the cell.
Dl Giacoma thrust a note through
the owning, begging his rescuers to
hurry. The president of the bank
thrust back a meesaj^ Imploring cour
| age, but D1 Oiacoma had fallen un
conscious and the missive was found
: crumpled on the floor beside him. A
hole a foot square finally was made
in the vault roof and a physician was
lowered inside with a rope. He
opened the doors and Di Oiacoma was
rushed to the hospital.
i Feature Transactions
of Livestock Exchange
B. F. Holder of Rockwell City, la.,
was a visitor at the stockyards,
bringing in a load of mixed cattle.
Mr. Holder said ono of the big prob
lems of the farmer this spring will be
obtaining efficient farm help, or even
any farm help at all. He said it
seemed almost impossible to get a
single man to work on a farm.
“In my section, farmers are paying
$40 t<> $45 a month, room, board and
washing to single men," said Mr.
Holder, "while married men get about
the same wages with a house fur
nished. There are plenty of hogs on
feed around Rockwell City and the
feed lots are filled with cattle. Stock
j cattle are rather scarce."
Two load* of choice cattle were
brought to the Omaha yards by J. A.
Torcion, feeder and banker of Tar
nov.
"We raise lots of corn In our sec
tion," said Mr. Torczon, "but we have
not been very strong In the raising of
livestock. It has come to the point
where farmers will have to raise more
livestock to take care of the surplus
agricultural products."
The cattle brought in by Mr. Torc
zon averaged 1,032 pounds and sold
for $8.50 a hundred. They were high
quality Herefords, and, according to
the shipper, had been on feed tlx
months.
Chris Andersen brought In his third
truck load of steers to the Omaha
market from Loveland, la., and they
were good enough to sell for $7.65 a
hundred. Out of the lot there were
five head that averaged 850 pounds.
According to Mr. Andersen, the feed
lots around Loveland are pretty well
cleaned up, but he said some of the
farmers were holding their stock for a
higher market.
