Among vanwert People.

Vanwert, Ohio. March 2S.-Eastern
Indiana and western Ohio were excit-
ed yesterday v e asgroundless rumor
that the Grand reservoir had broken
its banks at st. Marys. Ohio. threat
ening devastation of the valley Of the
St. Mary's river and much damage to
Fort Wayne. Indiana. ~-
The rumor was denied at st. Marys.
but not until hurried calls for boats
and assistance had been sent out.
The wind blowing EAST over the T.
900 acres Of water in the Grand res
ervoir tossed spray over the st. Msrys
embankment. and gave rise to the re-
port of a break.
The Cincinnati and Northern and
the Hamilton and Cincinnati run
along the west side Of the reservoir to
Celina and would be in the path of
the waters. should they ecape the
dam.
No trains are running along the
t~wenty-three miles OF track south
from Vanwert to Celina. Ohio. The
roadbed OF the Cincinnati and North
ern is washed u and the bridge over
st. Mary's river at Rockford, Ohio, is
out Of commission. The Cincinnati
and Northern officials hope t O repair
the road by Saturday. The millions Of
gallons OF water In the reservoir,
should q break occur on the east m
bankment. would flood the st. Mary's
river and sweep northward through
Fort Wayne.
Should the south or west banks give
way. a wall Of water would descend
the valley Of the Miami and again en-
gulf Dayton.
Direct communication with those in
charge of the entertainments brought
assurance that there was no break. or
danger Of a break.
The flood water in and near Fort
Wayne. is subsiding and along the
right of way Of the Penna between
Fort Wayne and Vanwert has fallen
from six inches to three feet in the
past - hours.
r. e. Mccarthy. general superin-
tendent of the southwest lines OF the
Pennsylvania system. on his way to
headquarters at Columbus. Ohio. said
the damage to the road would aggre-
gate $6.000,0 900. He hoped to see

the remarkable features was the
cheerful spirit with which flood vic
Tins viewed their plight. This was
Dayton's first big flood in mgay years.
Much OF the submerged area had been
considered safe from high water.
In some Of the poorer sections, the
attitude of the marooned was not so
cheerful. As a motor boat passed be-
fore the second floor of one partly
submerged house. a man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took off his wife and a baby that had
been born Wednesday,. The woman,
almost dying. was led from the win
dow by a rope and taken to a place
Of refuge.

Further IN. members Of a motor

asked.

You going to take me out of here?"

peared brighter than it did Yesterday.
There was food for the towns

o'clock last night. It was believed
that the many trains Of food and pro-
on the way would reach here
today.
The water receded rapidly yester-
day. An occasional snow furry and
biting winds added to the discomfort
of the rescue crews. but they remain
