Heroes In All Glasses.

If a great loss of life was averted
at Peru, this is due to some heroes of
the Owen Wister type, river men and
water rats from surrounding lakes,
who by unbelievable prowess with a
pair of frail oars rescued the doomed,
and in splendid harmony with their
virile efforts shines the spirit of wom-
en- who valiantly helped, supremely
oblivious to distressing surroundings.
Among the latter are Mrs. r. H.
Bouslog, Mrs. R. c. Edwards, and
Mrs. Albert Shirk, all three wives
of local millionaires, and also leaders

vide sandwiches, coffee and smiles to
. panic stricken multitude In emer-
gency quarters.
Among the boatmen two brothers,
Charley and Ted knight, are praised
on the corners left in Peru. Ted, with
w. A. Huff, a dentist, braved the tur-
bulent waters of the Wabash river,
cutting off Peru on the south side
and rendering uncertain the fate of the
inhabitants of South Peru. According
to the report the two rescuers reached
the opposite shore alive, after having
been overturned several times.

Whole Families on Roofs.


All of the first terrible night, while
the city Of Peru, Ind. was In inky
darkness because of the cutting OF of
the gas and electric light supply, men.
women and children, and in some in
stances entire families, lay fiat where
they had crawled to the roofs of their
homes, waiting for daylight to bring
relief. Hundreds of others were
iammed in the courthouse and lodge
buildings, which we're in the only four
blocks of the city not under water
The first thought Of rescue parties
was to send into the town boats to
carry to safety those who were threat
ened with drowning. Telephone com
municatioR had been opened with
points in the residence and business
districts and from those marooned in
buildings it was learned that many
persons, including some women who
held their children in their arms, had
been on roofs exposed to an almost
freezing temperature all night. One
man telephoned he had seen several
fall from exhaustion and slip into the
water 1t was the purpose of the res
cuers first to reach those in greatest
danger Hundreds of others huddled
together at the courthouse, although
in want Of food and water, were to be
taken later

Victims are Cheerful.

One of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight. This was
Dayton's first great flood in many
years. Much of the submerged area
had been considered safe from high
water, but as the majority of resi-
dents OF these sections looked out on
all sides upon a great sweep of muddy,
swiftly moving water, they seemed I'M
disturbed.
In some OF the poorer sections the
attitude of the marooned was not so
cheerful AS motor boat passed be-
fore the second floor of one partly
submerged house a man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took on his wife and baby that had
just been born. The woman, almost
dying, was let down from the window
by a rope and taken to a place of
refuge.
Further on, members of a motor
boat party we're startled by shots in
the second floor of a house about
which Ave feet OF water swirled The
boat was stopped and a man peered
from the window Of the house.
why are you shooting?" he was
asked.
oh, just amusing myself shooting
at rats that come upstairs. When are
you going to take me out of here7"
he replied.
The bodies OF a woman and a baby
were seen floating down Jefferson
street, one of Dayton's main thorough
fares. It was thought they came from
the district north of the river.

There were two heroes on the Day
ton foods. Their names are M B.
StohI and C. D. Williamson, and they
are employees of the American Tele-
graph and Telephone company.
Stohl IasSa wire chief at Dayton. He
reached the Dayton Office of his COM
pany late the night before the floods
came. The rush OF the waters put all
the telephone batteries and power out
of commission. Forgetting thoughts
of escape, Stohl rummaged around
until he found a lineman's test set.
With this he rugged up q sending and
receiving apparatus, and cut in upon
the wire on the roof Of the four-story
building. This wire connected him
with Phoneton, q testing station eight
miles away. Thus he established COM
munication with Williamson, whose
batteries we're still working.
Then Stohl sent messages from the
flooded city, otherwise cut OF from
communication with the outside world.
All night he stuck to his post All next
day he remained. The following noon
found him still on the roof OF build
ing whose foundations were being
Slapped by the waters.
There he stayed in the rain and cold
with the prospect of death staring him

Robber Prices of eoatmen.

Boatmen In Peru. Ind. recped for,
tunes by carrying food sufferers
from the danger zone at exorbitant
prices. according to M. g. Scott, a
travelling salesman OF New York. who
arrived from Peru with two other
travelling men.
THE condition at Peru" said Mr..
Scott, cannot be told ] was at a
hotel across the street from the court
house and last night six babies were
born to women who lay on the bare
floor of the building. When we learned
of this we had them rowed across the
