the gas and electric light supply, men.

stances entire families. lay nat where
they had crawled to the roofs Of their
homes. waiting for daylight to bring
relief. Hundreds Of others were
TANNED In the courthouse and lodge
buildings. which were in the only four
blocks Of the city not under water.
Tho first thought OF rescue parties
was to send into the town boats to
carry to safety those who were threat.
onod with drowning. Telephone com.
munication had been opened with
points In the residence and business
districts and from those marooned in
buildings II was learned that many
persons. including some women who
held their children In their arms. had
been on roofs exposed to an almost
freesing temperature all night Ono
man telephoned he had seen several
fall from exhaustion and slip into the
water. It was the purpose Of the res.

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 flood 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 a great sweep of muddy.
swiftly moving water. they seemed un.
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 q man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took of his wife and q baby that had
Just been born. The woman. almost
dying. was let down from the window
by q rope and taken to Q place Of
refuge.
Further on. members OF Q motor
boat party were startled by shots in
the second floor of . house about
which iive feet of water swirled. The
boat was stopped and a man pesred
from the window of the house.
why are you shooting?" no 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 a woman and q baby
were seen floating down Jefferson
street, one Of Dayton's main thorough.
fares. II was thought they came from
the district north of tho river.

Heroic Rescues Common.


From all parts Of Dayton come sto-
ries OF heroic rescues. The stolid
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 persons in floating houses. saw
their boats upset and the men 60

Late in the day large frame house

LOST, STOLEN
 OR SPRAYED?

"Where is Bob Martin?' is question easier put than answered. The last authentic information tbe Pioneer had about Bob he had just completed the sale of some options on Bear creek to E. A. McIlhenny, of Louisiana. Then from out of the East came a faint whisper that Bob was in New York hobnobbing with Wall street magnates and giv- ing advice on Alaskan mining in vestments.
 Then came a painful silence, and it was feared that never again would he fill this camp with his presence, or join with infinite gusto and merry jest in the strains of that inspiring but misleading melody, We've Got the Pay in Ruby.'
 Now comes the Seward Gateway of December 21 with the following:
 "Robert Martin, one of the heavy operators of the Iditarod, arrived on the Northwestern. and is en route to the Interior camp.'

A. Wofer, warden of the state peniten-

Goodrich said to Mr.. Warnock:
How many people do you suppose want
to see a place like this?"
"A good many, Il believe Warnock re-
piled. 1t was question of cutting cents
off the fare, or rather of extending the
ride from St. Paul to saltwater, % miles,
somewhat further, that visitors to the
prison might land right at the office en-

Warnock.

Minneapolis and st. Paul papers that .the
Minnesota state prison is one of the best
managed institutions of its kind in the
