According tb Armington, the rivers have been ST such low levels heavy precipitation or ’a sud den thaw would be tAe only cause for flood warnings. The Wabash river was frozen over at Peru with an estimated 24 inches of ice, a deptth greater than any within the memory of old residents. Snow-choked gutters and frozen sewers prevented flow of water to the rive, it was reported. At Bluffton residents said conditions were more conducive toward a bad flood than in 1913 when the Wabash river overflowed into the city and power plant. Mayor Franklin Buckner and B. H.
