SEVENTEEN LOOTERS
KILLED AT DAYTON
Caught by Cuardsmen with Plumber on Them
and Summarily Executed d-Choul Had
Woman's Finger lii Pocket.

, poral of the guard who came up to as-
siet th" sentry found eighteen other
watches In the mans clothes. and the
lootc~ was lined up lgainst the wall
and executed
Tho nine negroes who were shot last
night were all reported as looters who
had been caught by the guardsmcu,
either In thc act OF looting deserted
business places i'm the downtown flooded
section or with SO much evident loot
on their persons that their guilt was
undoubted.
Friday night. il was reported. a
guardsman patrolling I'm Albert street
mt the edge of the Miami-Erie Canal,
which runs through the city. tried 10
stop negro who was rowing a boat
which later proved to have been loaded
with a good part of the water soaked
stock OF shoe merchant whose de
serted place of business in Hollenkamp
street bordercd on thc canal. The negro
refused To- come inshoro AT the soldier >
command, and when he attempted Ia
row away hc was shot. He tumblcd
into the canal rhc boat driftcd in, and
its contents apparently justified the
guardsman's act.
Another negro, stopped at o'clock
this morning by soldier where Main
street crosses the canal was found to
have seven diamond rings in his
] hiG hnI.f
/ thrown into the canal.
Two negroes picked up at Sycamore
and Charles streets. with eight suits Of
clothes in their arms. were likewise
found that the clothes had been taken
from a flooded clothing store near by.
So far as is now known there has
been only one case Of n ghoul robbing
dead bodies i'm the city. That was Il
negro who was halted by the soldiers
In the East 9TH street section socn after
midnight this morning. He pretended
the utmost ignorance Of the curfew or
der. and told a story of having been
sitting ND with "a sick friend" but Il
search revealed that he had IN his
pocket a finger that he had evidently
cut off from the hand Of dead woman
i'm order To get the plain gold ring
which encirclcd il. The man was shot
as soon as this evidence against him
was discovered.
The action of the state troops in dis
posing Of looters by immediate exccu-
tion has met with the approval of the
citizens. The decent element Of the
city's populace is keeping strictly
within doors after the curfew rings
only cases of decided necessity bring
citizens out after that hour, and Che
military night passes have been made
easily available for those who have a
legitimate use for them.

Doctor Startled at Chanoe

DR.. starr was startled at the change
in Mr. Morgans appearance since he
| saw him only a short time ago at Ma
pies and was much concerned again
Yesterday over the change which had
occurred even since the previous day.
There are four trained nurses from
the Anglo-American Nursing Homo in
, attendance. Mr. Morgans pulse. which
has been very weak for the last few
DAYS. is gradually becoming weaker.
The insomnia from which he suffers is
with difficulty being combated by
drugs. but the narcotics are having a
pronounced effect on his heart.
The most distressing symptom ror
those surrounding him is the patients
complete silence. For this reason Il
has been impossible 10 say whether
he now realizes his condition. The
last words uttered by M. Morg m
were a request 10 have his limbs mas
saged a treatment which had often
been given to him on former occasions
when suffering from nervous disorders.
No Functional Vitality
All attempts To make the patient
swallow anything-even water-have
been in vain. The physicians explain
that this is due to the lack Of func-
tional vitality in the nerve centres,
which under such conditions arrest
the functioning of the organs. They
are opposed 10 the desire of Mr.. Gnd
Mrs. Satterlec to remove Mr.. Morgan
