Flooded Cities of Indiana
Are Beginning to Recover

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 2S-
Groups of half-frozen, half-starved refu-
gees are being found in isolated parts OF
Hooded West Indianapolis today, but in
vestigation trips into all possible dis
tricts have revealed no bodies SO far. An
automobile moved a barn blocking West
Michigan street and reached the northern
portion of West Indianapolis for the first
time since Monday. finding Captain of Po-
lice Coffin with more than twenty suffer
ing persons.
The rescue party brought back a hurry
up call for motor trucks that can get
through the still inundated streets, to
bring supplies and remove the people,
half an inch of ice on the water having
stopped work with canoes and almost
shut of boats.
c. C. Hanch. president of the chamber
of commerce, is directing exploration Into
southern portions of the flooded districts
and reports no bodies have been found
News From Peru Lacking.
Definite news is still lacking from Peru.
where the last reports placed the num-
Der of dead at $50. In view of the manner
in which the death lists have diminish
ed at other places, there Is hope that this
will prove to have been an exaggera
ton.
Rumors not fully confirmed tell of
death and heavy property loss at Howes-
vile, twenty-five miles south of Terre
Haute. in Brown county, and in several
small towns.
Terre Haute is suffering greater dam
gers than at any time since the beginning
of the floods, and Vincennes and smaller
towns in Sullivan. Knox. Gibson and
Posey counties may suffer repetitions of
