they could not speak. Hot coffee, soup

The flood waters began to recede
yesterday and this permitted of more
success in rescue attempts, as the
streets were less turbulent and rapid.
Many bodies were recovered which
We're washed up or exposed as the wa

been recovered. The five different see
tions OF the town are cut off from each
other.
Late yesterday the fires broke out
afresh. The residence section at this
time was threatened and many per-
sons who had heretofore escaped the
ravages of the flood were in danger
The fires in the business section died
down.

removed today more dead than alive
On Third street in West Dayton a
flat car weighted down with pig iron
IS being run down into the the flooded
district on street car tracks to bring
out water-bound persons. Six men
go on the car and a hunded or more
pull 1t through the water by a huge
cable. Rescued persons who for two
days had expected death at every min

automobiles and taken to shelter

Hundreds have been rescued here and
more wait the coming of the flat car
AS the car comes TO a stop in front
of the Western Union office owners of
automobiles crowd around, eager to
carry the sufferers to private homes.
On the sidewalks crowds of persons
who have friends and relatives in the
inundated districts scan every face,
Sometimes there are cries of happiness
as the vigil is rewarded, but more
iften the crowds are disappointed.

Saturday will be an off day for the
High school boys. The Columbus-Amer
icus game has been called off by the
Columbus bunch Yesterday afternoon
Manager Reese, of the High school
team received a telegram from the Co.
lumbus manager stating that five of
the players on his team were sick thar
they would like to postpone the game.
Manager after consulting with Coach
Reeve agreed to putting the game off
until another date.
AS soon as it was found that Column
bus could not play the Muckalees,
Reese got busy trying to find team to
take their place on Saturday. Several
teams were telegraphed but they
either had games scheduled for that
date or were unable to play Americas
for some OTHER reason.
The rest will enable the home boys to
get in shape for their fray with Nor
man Park next week. This bunch OF
hefty artists is the only crew that has
beaten Reeve and his boys so far and
Americas High is determined that they
will not repeat the dose of two weeks
ago.
Reeve has the boys hard at work ev,
cry afternoon and they are improving
every day. The boys are gaining con-
fidence with every practice and wheel
they line up against the Park team
they will be able to play a cool steady
game that should win for them.
