The Ketchikan miner., 1913-03-28

Columbus, Marsh 2S--s5pecial trains of soldiers left this city this morning to try to reach ZanesviIle and Xenia. They take with them food and tents for sufferers, and if necessary will march to the scene of the flood, as railroad grades and bridges have disappeared, and turnpike roads have been wip- ed off the face of the map. Thus far one hundred dead are reported in this state outside Dayton, and it is thought that the total will not be increased by half as many more. The property loss, how ever is tremenduous, and i IlGoks as though the original es- timate of one hundred million
 collars will be too low.
