Chief Gives Information.
Except for possible loss Of life on
the north side of the river there will
not be more than 200 dead in Dayton,
according to Allaback's estimate after
he had been given information as to
the situation on the south side.
The worst condition found near the
center of the flood was in the work
house, where 60 prisoners have not
had drop of water nor a bite OF food
since Tuesday. The men revolted
Tuesday night and demanded their
liberty and chance to fight for their
lives Since then the WorkhOuse has
been madhouse, according to SUI
perintendent Johnson. The prisoners
repeatedly fought with Johnson and
threatened to kill both him and his
family.
Johnson asked that detachment OF
the national guard be assigned to help
him handle the men. He declared that
the men would have to be shot il
they escaped from their cells.
No Word of Mayor.
No word has been heard from Mayor
Phillips. The chief of police had been
unable to get near the Phillips house
and did not know whether the mayor
would be found dead or alive.

THOUSANDS PERISH IN VAST FLOOD

5000 homes were classified under dam
age figures of 81 900 and it is calculat-
ed that 10000 could not be repaired
for less than $500 each.
Fifty Bodies Removed.
West Dayton, Ohio.-After day of
hard work, volunteer rescuers have
removed more than half hundred
bodies from the waters of the Great
Miami river and Wolf creek and saved
upward of 500 who, for two days have
been clipging to roofs or living in up
per stories.
With the coming of nightfall, the
efforts to rescue more persons were
slackened and all of Dayton not in
the central flood district, waited in
dread of the nightly fires which have
added horror to the already terrible
situation.
No Fires Since Noon.
No fires have been seen in the cen
trail district since noon, but the know
ledge that thousands of persons arc
trapped on upper floors of the build
ings where they cannot be reached,
added to their terror last night.
The water in all the inundated dis
tricts fell from three to five feet yes
terday and the currents of the river
and creek are not so swift, so that it
is possible, except in the center, for
small boats to reach sufferers.

FEUD DECLARED
BACK Of POISON
CONSPIRACY
Ursery, in Prison, Renews Charge
Against Prominent Woman
Neighbor Of Ross.

Patrick Ursery. the young mar
who is accused of a plot to poison the
entire family of Jesse c. Ross, his
brides father. in Hazlehurst, Ga,
continued Thursday in his strange
story which sought TO involve a
the poisoner, and to shift all of the
responsibility from his own Shout
ders
Dispatches from Baxley, Appling
County, where Ursery is in jail, say
that the accused has made public q
tale of hatred and jealousy between
the Ross family and another family
of Hazlehurst which, Ursery declares,
led up to the plot to destroy Ross
and the rest of his household by
strychnine which was to be placed in
sack of flour in the Ross family.
Ross and the head of the other
family, according to the weird story
of Ursery, had engaged in a bitter
feud for months. The climax came,
said Ursery. when the enraged man
persuaded his wife to go to the Ross
home with strychnine and mix it in
the -four
1t was after this, if Ursery's story
is true, that Ross and his whole fam
lily mysteriously were seized with a
violent sickness and their lives de-
SPARED of for some time.
Ursery has employed j. B. Moore,
of Bailey, and S. d. Dell of Halle
hurst, to look after his interests. The
lawyers say that their client will be
able to account for the strychnine he
purchased some time before the pois-
onins, and that the story which will
be told in the courtroom will be much
more startling than Ursery's alleged
connection with the poisoning has
been.
