HOUSE MAY GO DOWN WITH THEM
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.-The situation of the citi-
zens of Lawrenceburg Ind. who are imprisoned IN
the House is constantly growing more dan
gcrous. Added to the iregularty of the food supply
and the crowded quarters is the possibility that the
Courthouse itself may collapse from the undermin-
ing Of its foundation by the flood of water. Should
that occur. the loss of life will certainly be great
The terrible anxiety of mind that many of those
imprisoned in the Court House experience is partly
indicated by the facts published in the newspapers,
but their distress is aggravated by other facts that
it is impossible to name Every honr that the
rescue of these people is delayed increases the hor-
ror OF their situation. The tall of bu ldngs in vari-
await the LawrenCeburg Court. House, and there 10
more danger OF this occurring W hIle the
Maters are snbslding than while they are Ilslng.
