DIR. BOwen's Garage Struck
by Lightning and Quickly
Destroyed
LOSS ESTIMATED
AT ABOUT $1,000

last night completely destroyed that
building, two automobiles, one owned by
Mrs. George S. DowIey and the other
by DR.. Bowen, and severely burned Will
liam Hibbard, who was working in the
garage, about the face and hands. The
building and machines were insured.
Hibbard says that just after a par
ticularly bright flash of lighting flames
started in It drip pan under one of the
cars. He was working at the bench in
the building at the time, and grabbed
the pan in an effort to throw it out of
doors. The flames flashed up in his
face and ignited his clothing. He ran
from the building and rolled on the wet
ground to eXtinguish the flames in his
clothing. The right side of his face and
both hands were burned severely.
The flames, spreading with the rapidi-
ty which always follows a fire where
there is oil, were noticed almost stimuli
tancously by several of the neighbors
Mrs. Charles r. Crosby was notified
by her son. Richard, and tried to tele-
phone in an alarm, but was unable TO
get "centralf and then sent her two
children, Sylvia and Richard. down the
street to notify their father and have
someone ring an alarm. They met James
II. Allen and he ran to box 81, as did
also Scott Barber. and sounded the
alarm which called out the department
In the meantime Mrs. f. G. Chace
tried to telephone the alarm rs the
garage building was close to the barn

Dayton. o., except for its most re
mote suburbs last night was covered
with seething flood of water from
$ to 20 feet deep. Any attempt To
estimate the loss of life is hopless. 1t

very likely into the thousands. The
property loss will total millions of dol
lars The flooded district comprises a
practical circle with radius of one
and one half miles, and in no place is
the water less tnan six feet deep. In
Main street, in the downtown section,
the water Is 20 fet deep. The horror
Of the flooded district is heightened by
more than a dozen fires. which can be
seen i'm the flooded district, but out OF
reach of the fre-fghters.
Most Of the business houses and near
" all of tie residences have occupants.
downtown the offices are filed with
men unable to get home, and on the
upper floors, and on some Of the roofs
OF the residences are helpless women
and children. Hundreds of houses, sub
stantial buildings in the residence dis
tricts. many of them with helpless oc-
cupants, have been swept away. The
number Of drowned cannot be estimated
until the flood subsidies, but 10000 are
/ homeless.

patients was reported to have been
washed away. The building was known

tried to telephone in the alarm, but none
of them succeeded in getting the cen
tral fire station before the box alarm
had been sounded.
y The hose wagon and chemical made
Ecellent time to the scene and soon
three streams were playing on the
flames. Before they reached there,
however, there were four distinct expio-
sions of gasoline and oil which added
to the fury of the flames and made the
building and its valuable contents a
seething mass before the first stream OF
water could be brought into play
Mr.. Hibbard had been unable to get
either of the ears out of the wooden
garage and both were a prey to the
flames Mrs. Dowley 5 ear was a seven
passenger Thomas and was insured for
So, 600. Dir. Bowen 5 car was Mitchell
runabout with rumble seat. 1t was in
sured, as was the building. The loss
probably will reach 81 900.
For fear that the flames would spread
TO DIR. Bowen 5 barn some of the early
arrivals on the scene led out two horses
to a safer place, but as it proved the
fremen had little difficulty, with but
little wind and everything thoroughly
wet. in preventing the spread OF the
flames to other property. The wind was
blowing in the most favorable direc
tion possible. Godfrey Crosby with I
hand extinguisher spent some time il
the barn on his father 5 property, where
he found the boards so hot ON the in
side that he could not hold his hand OF
them.
The 6remen were very appreciativ,
of the kindness of Mr.. and Mrs. Chace
who furnished them hot coffee and sand
wiches and later in the evening MIR
Chace sent to the fire station two boxe
of cigars with his compliments.

received.

An official report from Peru at South
Bend, Indiana. late this afternoon says
800 were drowned in Peru and that the
entire city is under water. News has
been. received in Phoenton, Ohio, that
Miamisburg was practically wiped out
by the food.
In Dayton at 1890 today the water
had fallen two feet Forty were probab-
lv drowned in Brookville, Ind, and
seven in Fremont, Ohio. GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, cannot be reached and 10 are re-
ported dead there.
In Dayton the office buildings shelter
crowds of residents who fled to upper
stories to escape the waters raging in
the streets to depth of nine to 40
feet. In the outlying residential dis
tricts thousands waited in anxiety to
hear from their friends who are unable
to leave the city. The pressing need in
Dayton next to the rescue of those i'm
perilled is supply of food and water.
The inability to. reach people elinging
to dismantled houses, trees and other
objects in nearly every city in the
stricken district has spread the fear
that the death roll has been increased
during the night by the constant drop
ping of exhausted persons into the wa
ter.
The train service is paralyzed every
where, and trains are unable to reacl
many of the flooded cities.
Gov. Cox of Ohio estimates that $50,
900 are homeless and has asked tn,
war Department for $4,000 tents an,
100000 rations.
The latest news from Dayton this af
ternoon, via Chicago, stated that TIL,
water had fallen four feet since mid
night. Many bad fires are reported
Buildings are being dynamited. Th
temperature is falling.
A despatch from Grafton, West VIII
ginia, says that train from Lovelan
to Cincinnati has gone through bridg
and that apparently 200 passengers wei
lost.

Somerset Dam Work Not Stopped.

A report was published a few days
ago to the effect that the construction
company now building dams along the
Deerfield river was about to stop work,
but this was denied in North Adams by
Vice President Cook of the company
He said that it is absolutely necessary
that the big dam at Somerset be fn-
ished as soon as possible, as the stor-
age of water has already begun and
at present there about 10000 gallons
of water behind the big structure. 1t
is planned to store about 100000 gal
Ions of water before the dry season
comes on and this will run the plants
at Shelburne Falls that are already in
operation.
Work on the No. > plant near Hoosac
Tunnel station has been temporarily
abandoned, he said. because all Of the
men were needed on the Somerset job.
Work on the No. ) plant will be re-
sumed later in the year.

DAYTON, Ohio, March 26.-The
crest of the food passed about mid
night. but the next few hours have
shown no appreeiable lowering of the
water.
Morning brought but little relief to
those who spent night of horror. 1t
is feared that the number drowned has
been greatly increased during the hours
of darkness. The rescue work looked
as hopeless this morning as it did yes
terday.
The immediate pressing need today is
ut over 15 square miles, most of which
is under water six to 18 feet deep.
The iammedite pressin need today j,
for food and medical supplies: On,
