MINERS' BODIES RECOVERED
Two More Taken from Crosby Workings By Rescue Crews-Total Now Five.

Crosby, Minn.-Two more bodies were recovered from the mudfilled workings of Milford mine, bringing the total to five taken from the pit since 41 were buried February 5.

The men whose bodies were recovered Saturday were:

HERMAN HOLM, 40 years old, of Crosby, shift boss at the mine.
MIKE BIZAL, 35 years old, of Manganese.

Holm is survived by his widow and four children.

Work of removing the bodies from the mine is progressing steadily, but is necessarily slow because the rescue crews have to remove tons of mud from the passage way and chambers of the mine.
