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
down.
Late in the day . large frame house
foated down the river. Four women
were in 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 a lit
tie farther down stream the debris
appeared. but none Of the women.

Norma came In with Ralph Myers,
Ms wife and little baby. Myers had
climbed telegraph pole first. He let
down rope to his wife. who tied 1t to
. meal sack which contained their
baby. three months old. Myers pulled
the rope with its precious burden up
and then let 1t down to aid his wife.
Holding on to two thin wires, he trav-
eled across the cable a full block to
Gafety.

VIetIms 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 baby that had
Just been born. The woman, almost
dying. was let down from the window
by 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 a house about
which five feet OF water swirled. The
boat was stopped and a man peered
from the window OF the house.
why are you shooting7" 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 q baby
were seen floating down Jefferson
street, one Of Dayton's main thorough
fares. It was thought they came from
the district north Of the river.

Heroes In All Glasses.

If 4 great loss Of life was sverted
at Peru, this is due to some heroes of
the Owen Wister type. river men and
water rats from surrounding lakes,
who by unbelievable prowess with q

vtrile efforts shines the spirit Of wom-
