Looking After Relatives.
Reports Coming From Local
Persons At Dayton And
Other Ohio Cities.

Owing to the great floods which occur
red in the middle west during last week,
and the over exaggerated reports in city
daily papers in regard to loss of life and
property, many persons in this locality
We're much distressed because of having
brother, sister or other relative living
in the flooded country-principally in
Dayton and West Carrollton, Ohio.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alonzo Stull have two
daughters, viz, Mrs. Chas. Firor and
Mrs. Maurice Gaugh, living at West Car
rollton, and Mrs. Nelson Willhide's sons
Ross and Glenn, are residents of Dayton.
From meagre reports received here the
Willhide boys are safe, but it is thought
Ross lost considerable at his place Of bus
mess.
Last Friday afternoon Mr.. Kleason A.
Stull and Mr.. Bruce Willhide, brothers
of the above persons, left for Dayton and
West Carrolton to look after the welfare
of these people, but owing to the bad
condition of the railroads at that time,
little progress was made.
On Monday morning telegram was
received from Bruce Willhide saying all
We're safe. No news has been received
from Mr.. Stull up to the time of going
to press "Wednesday afternoon), and bis
parents are now fearful that some acct
dent has befallen him. Neither have
they had any tidings from their sons-in-
law Perhaps letters have been delayed
or kilograms lost.
Mrs. Charles Robinson, of this place,
received letter from her son Mark who
is in Dayton, stating that he was caught
in the flood while on his way to work.
He waded through water that came to
his shoulders and succeeded in getting to
a place of safety. He states that he lost
all his clothing, trunk, money, etc.
Nothing has been heard of Elmer Lidie
and family who reside at West Carrolton.
MIR. and Mrs. James Keilholtz and Mr.
and Mrs. Brook Kelholtz, who left
Thurmont Monday of last week for Day
ton, got as far as Columbus, O., at which
place they are now, number of letters
having been received from them by rel
atves in this vicinity.
Flood conditions have improved very
much about Dayton and other Ohio cities
and towns along the rivers, but further
down the river the water is doing much
damage.
Messrs Harry and Elmer Glenn who re-
side near Dayton, telegraphed to friends
at Lewstown, this county, that they are
safe from the flood
A number of persons in this vicinity
have relatives in or near Dayton, but so
far have had no news from them.
Mr.. Roy Collihower, son of Mrs. Belva !
Birely of this place, who resides in Omaha,
Neb., has as yet sent no news relating
to the cyclone which struck that city re-
