FIRE DEMON

PHONETON. o.. via telephone 10
Chicago, March ga bad FIRE has
broken out in the central part OF the
business district OF Dayton. The area
threatened by the flames in the midst
of the food district and the chances
of successfully fighting the blaze are
nope too good. Information to this
effect was received over the telephone
from Dayton at $50 o'clock this after
noon.
The fire is reported TO have started
from the explosion OF an oil tank con-
tanning hundreds Of gallons. and which
bumped Into n submerged building
near Fourth and jefferson streets.
Unexpected communication was had
with Dayton over an independent tele-
phone company's line when an at
tempt was made to get information
here concerning the situation at Van
dalia A wire was set for Phoneton
through Tippecanoe City and was sent
back to Nandalia. When this circuit
was completed a mans voice was
heard on II.
Where are you?" asked Phoneton.

The man said he had riged up a
telephone and got in on his Vandalia
circuit He said the water was near
the third floor of his building, and
that he and about forty others were
marooned in the fourth story. The
only signs of life. he said. was in the
United Brethren building. across the
street. where several men were ma
rooned. The two parties were com
municating by shouting across the
flood-swept streets.
The Dayton man said that the water
was blowing through the streets in
mad rush. and that he had nothing to
eat and very little water to drink for
IS hours.
The Beckel House is burning and
Jefferson street IS on fire on its east
side from Third street as far down as
the Western Union office. The Day

ton that refugees were driven from
the places where they had sought safe
~ from the foods. and were leaping
from roof TO roof TO escape the new
terror. The fire was rapidly approach
