family
Heroic Deeds.
Fully confirmed reports Of unusual
heroism when part of Brookville was
flooded have been received here.
Charles Westcott, IN express agent,
and expert canoeist, saved 118 lives.
One OF his feats was to paddle to a
tree three-fourths of a mile from the
town proper and save julius Weber,
wife and children, and their dog. The
family had fioated to tree tops in the
wreckage of their home. He spent
several hours in rescuing others.
Saved seventy-five.
Another man working with a raft
saved seventy-hve people, including
James Luce, eighty-two years old,
who had been marooned six hours and
was lying crosswise of mass of tele-
phone wires. Luce had dashed him
self fast with strips of his shirt and
was unconscious. He was revived and
will live.
Six men and three women were ma
rooned in the third story of the re-
naming portion of the WOODEN mill. A
rope was shot to them by means of a
skyrocket and coffee and sandwiches
sent them. Later they were rescued
with stronger ropes. The remainder
of the building pitched into the water
ten minutes after the last one had
escaped
Metamora Not Swept Away.
Later reports from Metamora, north
of Brookville, show the town was not
ing the station, foated out. People
were warned of the rising waters, and
all escaped to hill nearby. No de-
pendlble reports can be had from
Cedar Grove or New Trenton, south
of Brookville
Brookville's hundred-year-oId hotel,
the Valley house, has been turned in
to house of refuge.
The receding of the waters at Con-
nersville, has permitted the delegation
of twenty. five to go to the relief of
Brookville. The total dead there is
not known. Only eighteen bodies had
been recovered up to this afternoon.
Whitewater river is subsiding rapidly,
and definite news from the flooded
valley districts above and below
Brookville, where dozens of farmers
were caught, is expected soon.

List
OF Dead
He Says

LIBERTY, Ind, 11:00 p. MO. M.
Gill, .railroader, reached here to-
night on his way to his home in Con-
nersville, after escaping out of the
flood in Hamilton. He said that the
train crew went into Hamilton Mon
day night and about eleven O'Clock
Tuesday morning they found that the
city was going to be flooded so they
took refuge in church nearby.
Gill says that he saw bodies in the
streets, on the porches and in the
houses of East Hamilton, and he
thinks that the death list will reach
the thousand mark. On Ludlow street
there was six or seven feet of water
and there was feet of water at the
c., H. & d. railway station. The suf
fering has been terrible and it will be
weeks before the total loss can be es.
timated.
Gill remained in a church until the
water had receded enough to allow
him to walk out of the city.

the second administration of our most
worthy President T. G.. Harrington. He
leaves the office carrying with him
the respect and best wishes of all the

of being elected to succeed himself
