Death Estimates

Chicago, March 27.-Esti-
mates of the loss of life in the
foods in Ohio and Indiana are
still inaccurate, although 1900
is placed as a minimum by the
most conservative Other esti-
mates include rumors of large
loss of life in towns and dis
tricts shut off from communica- =
ton, running as high as 1000.
Governor Cox of Ohio reported
that more than a thousand per-
ished at Dayton alone. The loss
in other parts of the state might
increase this two thousand. The
latest reports from Piqua place
the dead there at 500, though
this is not verified. Fires were
raging in parts of Dayton al
night. The water is receding
The Indiana dead is estimated
from 200 to 1000.
