HORRORS OF THE FLOOD
Roar of Water and Circus
Animals.

Plymouth, Ind, March 27.-Gra-
phic description of the horrors of the
flood that is believed to have swept
200 or more residents of Peru, Ind,
to watery graves and made thousands
homeless was given to day by Gilbert
Kessler, one of the heroes of the ca
lamity. Weary, tired-eyed and al
most unnerved from the loss of sleep
and the sight he had witnessed,
young Kessler staggered from the re-
lief train of the stricken city.
Kessler's most vivid picture was
the suicide OF several fear-crazed
women who leaped from the rescue
boats. The roaring current and the
terrible sights, he declared, had mad
dened them.
1T was too awful ever to forget"
said Kessler, with a shudder. 1T
was cold and damp and misty, and
the sight of that black water rush
ing on pitilessly just seemed to take
the heart out of most of us, especial
ly the women. l was plotting one
of the rescue boats to the court
house and the boat was pretty well
filled. One of our passengers was
woman.
I'VE were moving rather shakily
through one of the main streets
when all of a sudden l saw this
woman rise from her seat and begin
to wall. oh, what is the use? Well
all be drowned, anyway And she
plunged from her seat into that boil
ing, fuming torrent.
The next moment / found myself
in the water and | saw little arm
stick up for a moment. l made a
grab for it, but it went down There
was no chance to swim in that Mag
ara. / struck the stern of our row.
boat and seized il with one hand.
Then l gradually drew myself
| aboard.
I'VE picked up one of our oars
men a little later. He was still
alive.
Later we were bringing another
boatload to the court house when a
woman lunged out despairingly and
all of us went over. Again it was a
fight, and l engaged in saving my
self. Four times altogether l was
thrown out into the water, and I am
still wondering how l managed to
escape.
The current swept around street
corners with tremendous force, and
only the most experienced oarsmen
could propel craft with any degree
of safety"
Kessler gave description Of the
flood on the first night.
I'VE heard the roaring of lions
and neighing of horses, and realized
that circus which has winter quar-
ters at Peru had been engulfed. The
lions and other animals in cages
died in the trap, roaring until the
water swallowed them. The ele,
plants escaped into the water ant
started for the shore, and that was
the last we saw OF them"

SUMMARY OF LOSSES COLUMBUS LOSS HEAVY
Many Towns Also Isolated and Re-
ports as TO Losses Are Not
Yet Complete.

Columbus, Ohio, March 27.-With
many towns in. the Scioto and Mus
kingum valleys isolated tonight, it
was impossible to gather information
that tells of the flood in those sec
tions. There undoubtedly is a loss
of life in the two valleys, but COM
pared with the staggering death
rolls from Columbus, Dayton and
other points the casualties are small.
Direct communication with Chilli
cothe early tonight established the
fact that there has been loss Of life
there. No information was received
from Portsmouth and other towns in
the Scioto valley known to be inun-
dated.
Mount Vernon continues TO be iso-
lated, but information received indi-
Gated the early reports of loss of life
There were exaggerated. 1t is i'm
possible TO establish communication
with the towns east OF Newark in
! the Muskingum valley.
GAINESVILLE is known to be suffer
ing from the flood and telegraphic
advices from the vicinity of that city
late tonight were that there was
eight feet of water in front of the
court house. 1t was said to be i'm
possible to get within twelve miles
of that city except by boat.

OREGON FEARS FLOODS.
Mountains Filled With Snow-Warm
Spell Expected to Bring Torrents.

Pendleton, Ore, March 2S.-The
cities and towns of eastern Oregon
and Washington are preparing for
the worst floods in the history of
this section. The oldest inhabitants
declare the snow to be deeper than
ever known before on the Blue Noun
tains, which shed into the John Day,
Deschutes, Umatilla and Walla
Walla rivers, these in turn emptying
direct into the Columbia river. The
Pendleton city council is getting
hundreds of sacks of gravel and
sand in readiness to rush to the
levees on the Umatilla river in the
event of a flood.
Reports from the mountains are
that 16 to 40 feet of snow is on the
SUBMITS and in the canyons. 1t is
feared that if the summer comes with
rush the first hot day will start
the worst of torrents. Forest Ran
ger Greggs reports that he walked
on snow over the tops of 16-foot
poles at Toll Gate, on the Wenaha
reserve. Benjamin Marlin of Mea-
cham, 25 miles east of here, reports
the worst winter in 23 years. Four
feet of snow extends from Meacham
station far back. 1t is not melting
yet, as the mercury was 16 degrees
below zero as late as Tuesday night.
Spring is so late that the hot wealth
er is expected to come with rush.

Columbus, Ohio, March 27.-Fire-
men who returned from the flooded
West Side of this city declare that at
least 100 corpses have been found in
the United Brethren church there.
The West Side, one of Columbus
most thickly populated districts, is
almost wiped out. 1t is impossible
at this time to make and accurate
estimate of the number of dead.
The estimated damage to property
on the West Side is between $10,-
100000 and SIS, 100000.
Rapidly receding water revealed
corpses hanging to trees, some lodged
in the debris and others floating
about partly submerged buildings.
Refugees brought the names of hun
dreds of missing persons, who are
believed to have been drowned.
Encouraging advices, the first to
come from the stricken city, were re-
ceived here today by Governor Cox
from George Burba, his private sec
retary who is in Dayton.
"one thousand persons" Burba
wired, have been rescued along the
right of way of the Pennsylvania
railroad, which now is above water.
1.-The first trainload of supplies
has passed Springfield and should
reach Dayton at noon A second
train bearing militiamen is 40 min
utes behind it, and third train,
carrying militia and life savers from
Cleveland, is half an hour behind the
second.

bodies had been taken from the de-
bris of the flooded district there. He
said he had been told the total of
dead would reach 500.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-03-31

Cleveland, March 27.-The revised
estimated loss in Dayton received
last night gives ground for the hope
that the dead in that city will not
exceed 1000 and might be below
that figure. Daring investigators
who penetrated the flooded district
revealed hundreds safe who it was
feared were lost, and unless swelled
by deaths on the north side, the
death list in Dayton may not run
over 1000.
In other places than Dayton the
death list grew rapidly. The follow
ing is the present estimate:
