LATE FLOOD news
The DEATH list NOT As LARGE
As REPORTED
.LOOTING IS REPORTED
Thousands Thought to be Drowned
in Dayton Are Found to be Sale
Seventy Thousand Maroo:ne III
That City - Fifteen Thousand
Homes Submerged and Untenable.

Revised estimates of the losses of
life in Dayton, Ohio, received Wed
nesday night, give ground for hope
that the dead in all sections affected
by the food will not exceed 1000 and
| may go below that figure
Daring investigators Who penetrat-
ed the flooded section sealed hun
dreds safe whom it was feared were
lost. Unless swelled by death list
in the foreign settlement on the north
side, as yet unreached, there may not
be more than 200 dead in the whole
city.
There was far heavier loss of life
in the west side of Columbus, Ohio,
than was thought. One estimate
placed the number of dead at more
than six hundred.
Apparently authentic reports from
Piqua indicated that twenty were
dead there.
At Peru, Ind, the authorities esti-
mate the death list will reach at least
$50.
From Hamilton fifty persons were
reported drowned in the collapse of
hotel where they had sought refuge.
twenty-five deaths were reported
from Troy, Ohio, thirty in Middle
town and five at Masillon.
Deaths from the food in Chillico-
the will not exceed 25, according to
latest advices. Earlier reports were
that from 200 to 500 lives had been
lost.
A report from Linton, Ind, gave
sixteen persons drowned at Howes-
vile, 25 miles south of'Terre Haute.
There were ten deaths at Sharon,
Pa.
Estimates are that 10000 persons
are marooned in Dayton's flooded dis
trict, where $1,000 homes have been
submerged. Rescue stations are pro-
viding fer 5 1000 homeless. The prop
erty damage in the city is figured at
s25, 100000.
Alarmist reports were frequent
during the day. In most cases these
were quickly contradicted. Rumors
that the Grand reservoir near St.
Mary's, Ohio, had broken proved IN
founded. Similar reports about the
Lewiston reservoir likewise were
found to be untrue. Threatened
breaks in both were repaired and re-
ports to Governor Cox, at Columbus
Wednesday night indicated that the
danger from this source was passed.
Later reports from GAINESVILLE are
that fifteen lives are believed to have
been lost there. About $4,000 are
homeless. A score Of buildings col
lapsed. Fire broke out at one point,
but it was not believed it would
spread.
Twenty were found dead among
refugees in the Court House at Peru,
Ind, the victims OF exposure, accord
ing to a telephone message. Conta-
gion has broken out among the refu-
eees, the report stated.
The police and militia report that
lootcrs are working in the central
district. All persons not able to give
satisfactory explanation Of their
actions are arrested. Persistent, but
unconfrmed rumors, tell of looters
being shot. Excitement is running

would be continued until every guilty
person had been discovered.
The four men suspended Friday

She related that Born and Folds
