FLOOD, FIRE, FAMINE
DISASTER
CONTINUED from First Page,


State militia has been called out and
are being rushed to food districts.
The heavy rain of Monday and
Tuesday coupled with wall of water
sent rushing down the Great Miami
river from the Lewiston reservoir in
Logan county, was responsible for the
Dayton disaster.
Kills Family and Himself.
A man marooned with his family
on the roof of his home shot and
killed his wife and three children. and
then himself, rather than suffer death
in the flames, according to a report
received by j. j. Munsell. employ
ment superintendent of the National
Cash Register company, from a man
who actually saw the occurrence. The
bodies floated away on the floods.
There may hundred or a thousand.
The census of the dead cannot be
taken until the water recedes and
leaves it's prey behind.
Between the city and safety there
is a whirlpool Only a mile inter-
venes, but 1t might be one thousand
miles. or five thousand, for no word
of what has happened beyond the
whirlpool since noon of Tuesday has
come across the brief mile of water.
Fires Break Out.
Fires broke out in the central por~
ton Of the submerged district, and
the confiagration is raging unchecked,
imperiIiing thousands OF flood suf-
ferers still marooned in business
blocks. and stores.
All the buildings between ST. Claire
and Jefferson streets on the north
side of East Main street have been
burned to the waters edge.
Eight large business blocks have
been destroyed, and there is no hope
of arresting the blaze, which is sweep
ing the city.
Collapse of Reservoir.
The severity of the food that sub
merged Dayton was due to collapse
of the Lorraine reservoir In Shelby
county, about Z O'Clock on Tuesday
morning The extent of the loss OF
life in other cities in the valley can
not be estimated, as the same condI-
lions prevail there as in Dayton.
Scenes of Undesirable horror are
reported by the rescuers under Ad-
jutant General George Fl. Wood.
Among those who persisted are said
TO have been ten members of the Ohio
national guard, who were guarding
