Heroic Rescues Common.

From all parts of Dayton come sto-
ries of heroic rescues. The stoid
volunteers pay no attention TO them.
All of them for three days have con
stantly offered their lives to save
others. Several OF these men have
given their lives on rescue work.
Their names are unknown. Watchers
on the banks saw them trying to
reach persona in floating houses. saw
their boats upset and the men go
down.
Late in the day large frame house
noated down the river. Four women
were I'm the windows. AS they neared
the Main street bridge they waved at
the crowd on the banks and the build
ing struck the pieces There was a
swirl in the murky waters and n lit
tie farther down stream the debris
appeared, but none of the women.

Richard Lee, an engineer on the
Pennsylvania. who brought in the last
train over that line from Logansport,
reported n terrible condition at the
Pennsylvania bridge over the Wabash

This bridge is braced across an
island and is as near indestructible as
a bridge can be made" said Mr.. Lee.

from Peru and has caught all the
debris from that town.
Il think we saw the remains Of
more than 100 houses stacked up
against this bridge, with the current
tugging and pulling at them. We
could make out thirty or forty dead
bodies In the crushed lumber. and II

Victims Are Cheerful,


One of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight. This was
Dayton's first great food in many
years. Much of the submerged area
had been considered safe from high
water. but as the majority OF resi-
dents of these sections looked out on
all sides upon great sweep Of muddy.

disturbed -
In some Of the poorer sections the
attitude OF the marooned was not so
cheerful. AS motor boat passed be
fore the second floor OF one partly
submerged house n man leaned out
and threatened TO shoot unless they
took of his wife and baby that had
just been born The woman. almost
dying, was let down from the window
by a rope and taken to place OF
refuge
Further on. members OF motor
boat party were startled by shots I'm

boat was stopped and man peered
from the window OF the house.
why are you shootlng?" he was
asked.
"Oh. just amusing myself shooting
at rats that come upstairs When are
YOU going to take me out OF here?"
he replied.
The bodies Of woman and baby
were seen floating down jefferson

fares. II was thought they came from

This world-old cry, made more men,
orable when the Titanic disaster
thrilled the world, echoed over the
rood-stricken districts of Ohio and In
diana. Refugees Who reached Chicago
told innumerable stories OF men risk
ing their lives to save the women and
children.
The unwritten law OF the sea was
observed on the inland rivers. The
entire tenor OF stories told by refugees
was one of bravery, selfsacrifice and
devotion TO the weak and unprotected.

ONLY Doctor a Druu FIend.

Terrible scenes were reported from
West Indianapolis. Conditions i'm the
flooded district were made worse by
the fact that the only physician who
was there TO attend sufferers was a
victim OF the morphine habit. In the
Methodist church a woman rescued
from the bottoms gave premature
birth to twins. The physician, what
with the horror of his duty and his in
ability to obtain more OF the drug,
went insane, and after making three
unsuccessful attempts to jump from
a window, was placed in straight
jacket.
