Fony Facha, 62, a coaldale miner for whom police and employees of the Lehigh Navigation Coal Co. have been searching since last Friday, was located today in Palmerton Hospital where he had been admitted after being found in an exhausted condition along the banks of the Lehigh River. Facha left work Thursday evening with a party of men who had been drafted to fight forest fires on the Blue Mountain. He spent Saturday night in the Palmerton lockup where he sought shelter, then resumed his wandering Sunday.
