Cave City, Ky., Feib. 16—Floyd
Collins, his life snuffed out after
seventeen days of imprisonment
within Sand Cave, was found dead
Monday afternoon by rescuers who
penetrated his underground sell.
The man whose helpless plight
had been watched breathlessly by
an entire nation for two weeks,'
while the State of Kentucky threw
its resources into the dramatic fight
to release him apparently had been
llefless several days.
Crash Through Cave Roof
Collins was found a moment after
workmen had unexpectedly crashed
down through the roof of his natural;
tomb. A moment earlier it had been 1
announced that the prisoner might
not be reached before midnight.
The work was flashed to the sur-
face instantly and H. T. Oarmi-
dhael, superintendent of the rescue
party, led a group down through
the rescue shaft to confirm the dis-
covery. At 3:45 p. m. the official
announcement that ended the long
drama was made at the surface..
Collins died of starvation and ex-
posure, physicians announced. Any
hope that a sparg of life might re- j
main within his body was removed !
when Adjutant General Kehoe fol-
lowed up the initial announcement
with the statement that decompo-
sition had already set in.
.. Debris Falls on Victim.
No medical examination could be
made, for twenty-eight hours they ’
believe, unless some way was found
to widen the hole.
Debris from the sides and ceiling !
of the rocky tomb had fallen in on
Collins until he was only able to
move his wrists and his head,
Brenner reported. There had not
been enough water in the crevice
tn keep a men alive, said the unof-
ficial report nf ihe physicians.
Late reports state that owing to
the dianger of cave-ins no attempt
will be made to remove Collin’s body

By invitation, more than one
hundred relatives and friends, gather-
ed at the hosnitable home of Mr.
and Mrs. Lute Renshaw Tuesday
evening. Feb. 17th, to celebrate with
them the happy event of their
golden we-lding anniversary. On
entering, one was struck with the
long receiving line, in which, were
the mother and father, with their
six sons iand daughters, with their
wives and husbands, they were Mr.
and Mrs. Lute Renshaw, Mr. Fate
Renshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Marco Hill,
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Renshaw, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Thomason, Mr. and Mrs.
John Renshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Bascomb
Renshaw, Dr. Horace Renshaw, Ralph
Renshaw. On account of illness, in
their families, the two daughters
from Louisiana were unable to be
present, notwithstanding, the occas-
ion was a rare and unusual one,
which will be recorded in the history
of our city as such.
Perhaps, there are more than we
might think in Decatar who have
passed their fiftieth wedding anni-
versary, but not very often is it
known, being quietly observed, by
their own fire side with perhaps
their immediate families. Mr. and
Mrs. Renshaw took advantage of
the happy event, to enjoy with their
friends, this mile atone in_ their
lives which is cause for much ra-
joicing.the beginning of which, dates
back to the frontier days, when the
Renshaws and Terrells settled in
this country in 1854 and 1859, and
by their stalwart Christian character,
implanted in their children, those
principles, that stvnd for the highest,
i-cblcst and beat in life, and which
la the rich heritage Mr. and Mrs.
Renshaw are enjoying today. Added
■ to this is the blessing of a noble
family of six boys and four daugh-
ters who are today spared to them,
and are useful upright citizens,
making the world happier ana
brighter for their having lived in
