DANGER NOW

(National News Association)
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. March 81
One thousand people in West Terre
Haute, three miles across the Wabash
river are in imminent danger of los
ing their lives by the flooded waters.
The river embankment north of West
Terre Haute is giving away rapidly
and the people are now on the house
tops.
The authorities at Paris, ILL.,, have
been asked by phone to send boats to
rescue the stricken people of West
Terre Haute as the bridges spanning
the river here have been condemned
and are practically impossible. In
response to a fire call the Terre Haute
fire department attempted to cross
the bridge, but in doing so three fire
men were thrown into the river.
They were rescued by catch lines of
hose thrown to them by their compan-
ions. West Terre Haute has a popula-
ton ofS6.000.

is FLOODED

Logansport, Ind, is in a serious con-
dition. This Information came through
Harry Stewart, ZIP North Eleventh
street, a Pennsylvania engineer. who
effected his escape from that deyastat-
ed city yesterday afternoon.
Stewart escaped from that city by
crossing the railroad bridge spanning
the Wabash river and walking through
driving rain and snow to the Anoka
Junction. After boarding an inter-
urban for this city with several COM
panions he was very nearly hurled to
his death by a bridge breaking under
the car.
The city Is under eleven feet of
water in many places, he says, and the
anguish of the suffering is horrible.
Water Is flooding the streets. Toledo
street is a mass of swirling, gushing
water.
The Eel and wabash rivers have ris-
en- to such a height as to merge into
one. The once strong iron trestie
spanning the Wabash is now a swing
ing bridge, he says. This bridge was
crossed by the refugees with great
risk of life. The destruction OF this
bridge will bring the loss to the rail-
road up to many more thousands. 'fhe
Third Street interurban bridge is al
so reported destroyed.
The Union Station is completely
submerged, only the roofs of coaches
being above the water line. Water in
the yards is to such a height as to GOV.
er the engines with the exception of
the smoke stacks. There are loo en-.
gines in the Logansport yards.
All the churches are being used to
shelter the suffering These places
being packed with homeless people.
Men, women and children are continu-
ally crying for food. Rain and snow
continues to fall and greatly hampers
the work of rescue.

days, October 81 being the last day
which they can reach Winchester.
They were keeping well to their
schedule when they passed through
this city and have enjoyed their
tramp thus far. The women were at
tired in regulation walking costumes
and declared of the trip failed it
wouldn't be their faults.
The agreement of the wager is
that they are not to buy, beg or steal
enroute. They were allowed $50 to
purchase food and lodging between
the two cities. They are required to
obtain the names of all parties with
whom they spend their meagre allow
ance and also the names Of all who
contribute voluntarily. They are sell
