PARIS GREEN IN
WATERING TROUGH
Startling Discovery Made by Robert
Fisher in the Yard at His
Home This Morning.

Robert Fisher, son of Chester L. Fisher
led one of the horses owned by his father
to water at the trough in their yard this
morning and discovered humps of Paris
green in the trough and another lump on
the ground. He prevented the animal from
drinking and hastened to the water box
nearby where water from spring is di-
vided so that it flows to the houses occu-
pied by Mrs. A. w. J. Wilkins and Mrs
Sophie Johnson as well as to the Fisher
place. There he suspected that the deadly
poison had been used and warned all
three families not to use the water
Young Fisher had not reported the mat
ter to the authorities this afternoon but
he had told of the discovery to those as
sociated with him in the Carpenter organ
shop. He said that he knew of no one who
had a grudge against him or his family.
He said that he Is familiar enough with
Paris green to know it when he sees it
and he knows that it was the poison he
found undissolved in the water in the
drinking trough this morning He Is not
positive that there was any of it in the
spring water box but is almost sure that
some Of it was used there. Had there been
and had the families drank of the water
there would have been very serious con
sequences.

COLUMBUS, o., March 27.-The
menace of FIRE continued this morning
in the flooded district of Ohio. Dayton
was still burning and frantic appeals
were being sent out for dynamite with
which to blow up buildings in the path
of the flames. A blizzard which is rag
ing over the inundated area, together
with the cold and snow, hampers the
work of rescue.
1t is believed that the Lewiston reser-
voir north of Dayton is weakening, but
has not yet broken and workmen are
being rushed to strengthen it if possi-
BILE.
Reports from GAINESVILLE indicate that
flood conditions there are growing worse
hourly although that city is yet free
from the horror of fire. 1t is reported
! that the Ohio river is still rising.
From Cincinnati comes the news that
the city of Piqua is burning and there
is no way to check the flames. Rivers
and streams throughout the state seen

MORNING FIRE IN

Frederick McClure's Hen House and so
Fowls Burned-Timely Assistance
by A. L. and Irving Miller.

The hen house and about fifty fowls
belonging to Frederick Mcclure were
destroyed by fire early this morning.
1t is probable that the barn would have
been burned had it not been for the
timely assistance of a. L and Irving
Miller, who live about half a mile be-
vond the Mcclure place.
The Miller brothers have n milk

, O'Clock mornings. They first saw the
fire about o'clock as they were leav-
ing the barn They went directly to
Mr.. Mcclure : and found that the
building was already in ashes. They
aroused Mr.. Mcclure after some diff
Guilty and by telephone summoned 9th
er neighbors. who were soon at the
scene. Work was begun at once TO ex-
tinguish the flames to prevent the
barn from becoming ignited.
Mr.. Mcclure lives alone and did not
know of the fire until he was awaken
ed by Mr.. Miller He has a dog, but
it made no disturbance. The building
was large and modern. The origin OF
the fire is a mystery. There was no in
surance. The fire department was not
called, on account Of the distance from
