Stal je pred vrati, dokler nj
docakal svoje vrnitve.
v razmisl sljenosti
O upokojenem davkarju v v.
pripovedujejo razne cudne reci,
XII jih je baje napravil v razmis-
ljenosti. 'NekdaJ', pripoveduje
mlad davkarski uradnik, "je po-
lozil svojo suknjo v posteljo,
sam pa Sc je obesil ma stolovo
naslanjalo ter ostal tako vso
noe. Mad ucitelj, XII Sc mu je

Trije umetniki
Sedeli so skupaj trije slikarji.
Bill so vsi trije lazniki prve vr-

slikar: "Nekoc sem naslikal

tenn vrgel v vodo, Sc je potopila,

Take Dying Fish Out
Of Buckeye
Concluded from page u

Clark's report had been made.
Fourteen tubs of large fish were
seined from the quarry Tuesday night
by Sportsmen's club members, and
taken by truck to the water works
quarry, and the transfer program
was continued Wednesday. Fish re-
moved included pickerel, bass, crap
pies, channel catfish, blue gills, perch
and suckers.
Clark said the principal factor con-
tributing to lack of oxygen in the
Buckeye was the fact that tons of
leaves are decomposing on the bottom
Of the lake, giving off carbon dioxide
and removing oxygen from the water,
Under these conditions, the situa-
ton is growing worse, for algae
around the quarry has been de-
stroyed, thereby removing its oxygen
generating effect. The pool is fed by
deep water springs, which have little
oxygen content.
Leaves Cause Od0r
Clark said that the decaying leaves
are responsible for the sulfurous odor
noticeable in the Buckeye water, and
that the milky color of the quarry is
caused by the lack of oxygen in ak
aline water.
AS removal of fish continued We'd
nesday, the Sportsmen's club was
studying means of renedying the con-
dition and providing means of aerat-
ing the water.
Ban of the use of outboard motors
on lake waters was lifted Tuesday by
Sportsmen's club officials, and those
owning motors were urged to use
them in boating this week as one
means of churning up water.
Among the many assisting in the
transfer Of fish We're Esmond Crit

gar Root, Albert Gibbs, Gerald Ber-
ry, Harvey Garmatter, James Stone

434 persons, and 7,o26 was the
population. Of that, 2,107 were
children of school age. The city's
three twine factories were the larg-
est west of the Alleghenies on that
account Xenia was called "The
Twine City"
The flood started at a small
culvert on the Little Miami, now the
Pennsylvania, Railroad. There the
water formed large lake which,
rising to the top of the embankment,
broke through and swept down on
the town. In some places, where
the houses were carried away, the
ground was washed as smooth as a
floor, leaving no sign of a house
ever having stood on that location,
old timers said
And a Cyclone
About two years before, on April
27, 1884, a terrific cyclone had hit
nearby jamestown, in Greene Coun-
ty, killed four persons, injured 40
more, destroyed half the houses in
town and had left more than 100
families homeless. At Bellbrook, Is
homes were damaged but no persons
were hurt. Property loss in James
town was estimated at 100000.
That storm originated in whirl-
wind near Dayton, quickly assuming
the shape of water spout and
growing rapidly, moved on with
great fury, destroying nearly every
thing in its path.
Much of its damage was in Mont
gomery County, where it moved
down forests, buildings, fences and
killed livestock. Along the path of
the storm, which was about 100
yards wide, not building was left
intact and nine of each 10 were
razed.
At jamestown the Union Agri-
cultural Society fairgrounds were
demolished, all the buildings, stalls
and even the fenceposts being blown
down. OF the jamestown churches,
the Methodist, Presbyterian, Chris
tian and the Colored Methodist
buildings were completely wrecked.
Missing Xenia, the cyclone passed
to the east from Jamestown, its
force dying away with little addition
al damage being done.

On Prayer-Meeting
Night In Xenia

Old timers III Greene County, those
of three score and ten or more, still
view with apprehension every sud
den deluge and shudder at heavy
winds. They have good reason.
Those sixty and 10 or more recall
too clearly a Xenia hurricane and
the devastating flood which followed
it.
Striking more than 81 years ago,
it was the worst storm which up to
then had occurred in Southern Ohio.
The list of injured, dead and miss
ing was appalling. Some bodies were
not recovered for days-found miles
away.
1t was Friday, May IA, prayer
meeting night in xenia. Some of
the stores still were open though
many of the residents already had
gone to the various churches. The
wind, hail and rain hit Xenia about
8 o'clock and increased in intensity
during the next three hours. BY
midnight it was as bad as any
squan could get.
Night Search For Missing
About 10 o'clock the gas lights
were out and the fire bells rang.
That summoned everyone from his
home to assist in hunting and rescu-
ing victims of the storm. The
searchers were not able to do much
only grope in the dense darkness
and listen for the frantic cries for
help. The storm was growing worse.
Shawnee Creek, rising a foot in
each five minutes, became a torrent
and burst its banks, flooding the
entire southern part of town. Most
of the houses along the creek banks
were torn from their foundations
and many were swept downstream.
The home of Aaron Ferguson was
carried away and lodged against the
Detroit Street bridge. Nine persons
were rescued from it. ..-
The house of Orin Morris was
not so fortunate. Rescuers saw it
floating downstream and heard the
screams of the family inside. When
it hit the solid masonry of the
bridge it sank. Only two of the
children were saved.
Flood SweeDs Eyerythinp
From the Detroit Street bridge to
Second Street the flood took every
thing in its pathway. The homes
there mostly were of poorer people
and lighter built, foated easily.
Working with ladders and lanterns,
and later a bonfire, rescue work was
difficult and of little consequence.
Along the railroad to Springfield,
in Bars Bottoms, the devastation
was terrible. Of the 20 houses
there only three remained. The gas
works was flooded and coal oil lamps
furnished the towns lights for sew
eral days.
One man tied rope around his
waist and tried to swim TO the
Ferguson house, lodged against the
bridge. Swept away by the current
in each of his three attempts, he
gave up and another man took over.
He succeeded only by going up
stream and allowing the current to
carry him against the house. In
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1947-11-06

that way the whole family were
rescued. The house went to pieces
just after the last person was taken
out.
Mother Saves Baby
Mrs. John Burch, when rescued
from her home, was standing in
water up to her neck, holding her
baby high above her head. A boy
named Booker placed his aged
mother atop some piled-up furniture,
then groped around in neck-deep
water till he found rope. With it
he tied the house to tree to keep
it from floating away. Both were
rescued.
The searching parties worked all
night and next morning they had
found several miles from town,
mayors office, where they were laid
in rows on the floor. Some were in
night clothes. Others, partly dress
ed. Among them, side by side were
the seven members of the Morris
family. Seven more bodies were
found and brought % bodies to the
where they had been carried by the
powerful current.
The loss of life was confined to
Xenia but property damage spread
through several counties. Railroad
bridges were destroyed and tracks
washed away in many parts of
Southwestern Ohio. In Greene
County nearly every bridge was
destroyed and roads were so washed
out that Xenia was entirely cut off.
The day after the storm one man,
going from Xenia to Dayton, l6
miles, made use of a boat, farm
wagon, railroad, band-car and car
riage-the rest of the way he walk

Help Arrives
Aid furnished by the Xenia city

Xenia's 16 churches. There were
three banks: the Citizens National,
the Second National and the Yfnia
National; seven factories, employing

Move To Retain Veterans Fund In Treasury

KETCHIKAN (P)-Mayor Rob- ert Ellis, chairman of the Alaska World War II veterans board, called upon board members Sat urday to decline a request that the board repay the Alaska gen. eral fund a S350,0 ,000 advance made last year to start a revolving fund for veterans loans and bonuses.
 Territorial Atty. Gen. Ralph Rivers, acting for the Alaska board of administration, made the request. The board held an emer- gency session this week because of Alaska's serious financial situa- ton, with only $8,000 in the gen. eral fund after paying June salar- ies, pensions and welfare com mitments.
 "I see no reason why veterans should be asked to bail out other departments from the predicament the legislature left them in," Ellis said.
 The board of administration had suggested the S35O,O0O ad- vance be returned temporarily un- til more revenue is received from the fall fish pack.
 Ellis said that the sales tax set
