RE ENFORCING RESERVOIR BANK. Danger to the St. Marys reservoir Is not yet past It •eeaiil. A dlsjmtcli from St. Marys says: The cast bank of the grand reservoir Monday endured a severe 24-hour pounding from the gale. Troops of Company K and state employees at times had difficulty in maintaining their positions on the exposed places. Additional sand by the carload was sent to the bank Monday and placed in sacks for possible emergencies. Sand and brush is proving effective in closing • the "washes." The water stage is fast getting down to normal. Military and civil patrol will be maintained indefinitely, however. M. E. CONFERENCE NOTES.

( < Solomon, fifteen-year-old son of Reuben Lord, of North Third street,'! ' s ould in all probability have been j i found in a watery grave in the icy t waters of the high St. Mary’s river v ithis morning at 8:30 o'clock. The accident happened near the old e Fritzinger stone quarry and lime pit' r near North Second street, east of the n A. M. Henry home, when the boy, with e two companions, "Jinks,” son of Mikel Meibers, and John, son of John Mayer, I d were thrown from their boat into the ■tl water in the middle of the river. The t other two boys got out unaided. ’ d Last week Mr. Lord built for his j r son a boat This was hauled from the 11 lumber yards this morning and launch- li ed with great pride by the boys, who't! at once planned to make a try-out of j the neat little craft. They launched I her and started across the river. Just I d south of the quarry is a large cable t stretched across the river by the e Standard Oil company. It is said that i c this was broken or sagged in such a : f way that the toys did not see it. Their v boat struck the cable and in an in-, f stant the craft had turned over end I j for end. The toys were all thrown j t out into the middle of the stream, ’ which is still high, but not beyond its ■ o banks. The Mayer and Meibers toys e succeeded in getting hold of the cable t and dragged themselves to the bank, while their companion, carried away t in the current, was unable to make the 1 shore. He is said to be a good swim- i mer, but the chill waters and swift i current benumbed and exhausted him t and he went down three times. By < this time he was carried down the stream a half a block or more, at a < point north of the quarry. There he'd managed to grab hold of some willow. i bushes sticking from the water. By i this time an excited crowd had gath-p ered. Mrs. Hugh Hite happened to < see a rig approaching, in which Sur-h veyor Phil Macklin and his deputy, d John Gillig, were riding. She ran to them and explained the circumstances ■ and tn just a short while Mr. Gillig , i made his way to the river bank. He i saw the exhausted toy clinging to the willows in the midst of the waters and heard his feeble cries for help, which grew more feeble with each breath, as he called for help, saying! that he could hold on only a little | 'onger. A rope was brought to the, scene by this time, and without removing his boots or heavy clothing,* Mr. Gillig grabbed one end of the rope and at once waded into the water to make his way to the boy far out near the willows. Mr. Gillig waded out into the water arm-pit deep. Luckily the Mayer boy had succeeded in getting a boat which he drew out near the boy at the willow tree and called to him to i get Into IL The Lord boy was too exhausted, however, to do so and could do nothing more than grab to the boat and hold on. By this time 'Mr. Gillig.succeeded in reaching the boat and clinging to this and holding to the rope, by skillful maneuvers, managed to get the boy near enough to the bank, so that he could take him in his arms and wade out to the shore. Carrying the boy, now thoroughly exhausted and half unconscious, in his arms, Mr. Gillig waded to the bank, where many helping hands were extended to complete the rescue and take the boy to his home. The Lord boy was so thoroughly exhausted by the cold and shock, and so benumbed that he was half unconscious and for a half hour was unable to speak. A physi-

cian was called to attend him and be advised rolling the boy up in wool en blankets while stimulants were giv en him. It is thought he will gel along all right, the only danger now being from cold. Mr. Gillig was taken home In a rl-: at once to remove his thoroughly soaked clothing, but left at once thereafter for Root'township to attend to some surveying, none the worse for his cold plunge Into the water. While John is a good swimmer, the boots he wore when he waded out, were filled with water, and his water-soaked clothing weighting him down, would have prevented his swimming had he gone beyond his depth, so that the rescue of the boy was really made at the risk of his own life. Deserves Carnegie Medal. A pamphlet from the Carnegie Hero Fund commission reached this office last evening, with advice to give the scope of the same publicity. According to the regulations of the same, which will be printed here in full later, Mr. Gillig seems to be entitled to a medal or reward from this fund.. According to the pamphlet, medals and sums of money have been awarded to 723 persons for acts of heroism.

George Votaw of Geneva, who returned late Thursday afternoon from Dayton, where he went to look up his three brothers, his mother and niece, who were in the flood district states that newspapers did not exaggerate the terrible disaster. “Why, I the half has not been given,” Mr. Vostated to Deputy Sheriff Jesse M. Kel- 1 ly of this city, who was enroute home ’ from Richmond, where he accompanied Mrs. Catherine Bohren to the in-' sane asylum, riding from Richmond to; Geneva with Mr. Votaw. Mr. Votaw found his relatives were I in the flood district, but safe. The I waters had receded from their home, ’ they had cleaned it up again, and l were back again in their home. Conditions there are terrible, how-; ?ver, Mr. Votaw stated, and Mr. Kelly I remembered some of the unusual and; aearly unbelievable conditions as giv-1, »n by Mr. otaw. The mud was left 6 or 7 inches' ieep on the streets and in the houses ( hrough w hich the current swept. On 1 :hird street water stood 30 or 35 feet I leep. The current was so swift that' ■oiled 40 or 50 large steel cars into :he river like so many balls. Car;, oads of stock were also swept into j he river. The drift-debris is something awful.' In one house Mr. Votaw saw three lead horses which had floated into he bay window. Workmen were also engaged in pulling three dead horses out of the interurban station. The fertiliser plant there is reaping a har-' rest. Wednesday night, on Spring-' Held street alone, the fertilzer company had 150 dead horses heaped up,' io cart away. In North Dayton people were shut jff from food from Tuesday to Friday, except for a car load of hogs, which they killed and ate from time to time. The people in the car shops suffered 1 much. Three or four were drowned. The others clung to the iron works above the raging floods thirty feet deep below. They clun£ there without food, drink or warmth until rescued. suffering much. When the floods arose, the National Cash Register company started all its force to making boats. These were' made of rough lumber—simply a great square rough box with holes cut in the sides for the oars. The boats sent out to rescue, were manned by two people—one to row, the other to bale out the water. The cash register buildings were converted into a hospital for the sick and morgue for the dead. Mr. Votaw talked to people who had been in Dayton since last Friday making a fruitless search for their loved ones who resided there. Os some they could get no clue, and many searchers went insane, through fear and anxiety, and were taken into custody by the officials. One of Mr. Votaw’s brothers had 1 started to work when the waters began to rise. He turned to go back to his home and family and before he got there he waded waist deep in the swift current. I The city is under strict martial law. Nothing is sold, all rations being doled out. It would be as impossible for a millionaire to buy a pound of coffee, as it would be for a penniless man. No one is allowed to walk on the sidewaiks for fear that they might pilfer. Everybody is obliged to walk in the middle of the street, where a strict eye can be kept on their actions. Orders are to shoot all looters. Mr. Vo taw stated that fourteen men had been shot up to the time he left. Oi these, five were state militiamen, whe had attempted to loot. One of the victims was an innocent man. He was an aged man, hard of hearing and he was attempting to enter his own house, when he was mistaker Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTORIA

d for a looter and shot. Any one carryJ- ing a bundle is challenged and stop r- ped for examination. it The receding waters give evidence v of damage and death not dreamed of. An Iron bridge was found a mile and g a half away from its former location, y The asphalt streets were found to be e ripped up by the current, which tore d up the large blocks and washed them r away. e The body of one man whom It was s thought before was safe, was dug up I- Wednesday. It is therefore impossi--4 ble to estimate the fatality, as dead 1 will be found from time to time as e the waters go down. Some may never i- be found. e It will probably be sixty days before the martial law will be lifted. No Idle sightseers are allowed, and all ) business visitors must identify them- ? selves as such. Last Sunday twelve f or fifteen of the wealthy men from the ■ high parts of Dayton went down to ,' sight see. They were unknown to {he ■ state militia, who gave them shovels > and put them to work in their Sunday • clothes. And they were forced to i, work all day. ! C. H. Fluke and others, of Markle, were here again Thursday afternoon ■ consulting with Sheriff Durkin as to i the whereabout of Mr. Fluke’s brother, 1 Lewis Fluke, who became demented and whose condition was made worse i by reading of the flood disasters, and who Monday afternoon ran away from his brother’s home and came east 1 down the Erie railroad. It is quite; 'certain that Fluke was seen at the I Smith restaurant here Tuesday after-, ,noon while his brother was here, but; ! what became of him thereafter is not j 'known. Mr. Fluke got another slight i j clue of his also while here It is said 'that a man answering Fluke’s descrip tion was seen at the heading plant jher, one evening. He was hugging | close to the engine trying to get warm. Mr. Fluke attended to the issueing of !some reward and description cards ; which Sheriff Durkin will send out in i , the hopes that the man can be restor-1 led to his relatives. Fluke is agout 5- i years old, looks 45, weighs about 14 r > i ; pounds, is slightly stoop shouldered, t has a brown mustache, wore blue overall suit and brown cap Any information relative to him should be teip : phoned at once to Sheriff Durkin. His brother offers a reward of twenty-five I dollars for his return home. I Lawrence Potts, the three-year-old 'son of Mr. and Mrs. Himar Potts, living on the corner or South Thirteenth and Patterson streets, would have met his death Thursday evening at 5:301 ! o'clock in the cold, icy waters of a i thirty-five foot well, built on the south , side of the house, had it not been fori j the’ heroic act of John Brothers, wuo heard the frantic cries of the mother, and ran with all haste to the well, and Jumped in after the little boy. Lawrence was standing on the top, when the boards that covered it broke and let him fall to the bottom. Mrs. Potts saw her son fall into the well and with frightful cries she drew the attention of Mr. Brothers, who came running to her for assistance and on learning what was wrong, did not take time to think, but made a jump into the deep hole and caught the little fellow just as he was going under for the last time. Mr. Brothers was helped out of the well with the unconscious boy, and with the assistance of i neighbors, who came rushing to the J place, they rolled him over a barrel ;for some time and succeeded tn get- ' | ting the water out of his lungs! A physician was immediately sent for And with his aid they started to administer ’ the first afa process to the still un--1 scious toy. After some time he regained consciousness, and this mom- ’; ing the report from the home was that he was feeling real well, not forgetr | ting the close shave he had from ' meeting death, and the family is still 1 thanking Mr. Brothers, who saved him 1 from drowning. ’ Mr. Potts is employed on the Erie section gang. 1 j o t>! The Stuart Grown vs. Rudolph Baue man et al. case came to an abrupt end e this morning when it was about to be given over to the jury. At this point ■. leave was asked by and granted the 1 defendants to withdraw the submisr sion of the cause from the jury and to f. file amended issues in defense, which s was granted without prejudice to either plaintiffs or defendants, at the coat e o fthe defendants. The suit was 1- brought by Brown against Rudolph, on n a note, demand, SSOO. This note was :t given by Rudolph Bauman for rental, r- Bauman being a tenant of Brown's > farm. Bauman claimed that d mis represented the farm and suceeed•f ed by fraud, in getting the note, and o therefore refused to pay it His e mother, Anna Bauman, and his brothe er, Rudolph Bauman, were sureties on 5, the note. In their answer, they failed :S to allege fraud, hence a deficiency in n the defense. When this deficiency “ came up, the withdrawal was asked, and a halt taken to give leave to file additional pleading. The case will probably come up ia the April term ot

An important witness used I , Thursday was the nurse. Miss Ellen I; Smith, in attendance at the Hoover i . * home during the time Helen Hoover »fwas confined to her bed. owing to the i s result of the shooting. Miss Smith ar-1 , rived at the sick room about 3 o'clock , the afternoon after the shooting and j ; remained with her until she was tak-1 . en to the Fbrt Wayne hospital. Wit-; , ness accompanied the injured girl to ; ; the hospital and was with her until I her death. It developed that the main reason 1 , -for calling Miss Smith to the stand , , was to get into the record certa.n , parts of conversations said to have I been had in the sick room between , ' the dead girl and her mother, to which attorneys for the defense ob- ' jected. The jury was dismissed i from the room during the argument l of counsel and in their absence Ati torney Dailey of the defense, among I others, asked the following questions , and was answered as indicated: Q. What did Mrs. Drake say toi her daughter A. Helen, do you know me? Q. What did Helen say? A. I think she shook her head. Q. Repeat other questions and answers between the two. A. Mrs. Drake said, “Who shotj, you, Helen?” and she said something , I did not understand. Then Mrs. > I Drake asked, “Helen, did Ralph shoot:, .you?” and I thought she shook her , I head. < Q. Who was in the room at this', [time? j’ A. Mrs. Hoorer, Ralph, Mr* ( Drake and myself. ] Q. What, if anything, did Ralph say regarding these questions? A. He said, “I didn’t do it and when she comes to I don’t think she will say so," this statement having! ( been mad£ after the defendant had I ; left the room. When attorneys for the state ques-!, tioned Miss Smith it was brought J out that when Mrs. Hoover was ask- I ed who shot her she uttered some, I sound very similar to "Ralph." Dr. Ellis was a witness and testi- ‘ I fled ’hat when the injured woman was, ; asked in his presence who shot her, i she did nothing but moan. A great i battle was in progress at the close of 1 Thursday evening’s session, the point, hinging on whether to admit the bodside story as evidence. This was sur-[ gued this morning. I (United Press Service) Washington, D. C., April 3—(Special! to Dally Democrat) —That the country is now facing a crisis which will put to the sharpest test the capacity of the government for prevention of annual floods, was the declaration of Senator Newlands of Nevada. He outlined a nation-wide plan for preventing “such floods as occur ninety-nine out of every 100 years." All the losses from these floods." the senator said, “are due to one . cause—the too rapid run-off of rain. . What is needed in the rivers is steadi- . ness of flow, and on the land the ob- . struction of the run-off to prevent soil . erosion. “First among the means of obi structing run-off is the preservation 1 and replanting of our forests. A sec- ! ond means Is found in the proposed construction of dam fcrmc’lon of > large reservoirs at selected sites on the headwaters of streams. The storage o' large bodies of water in this manner for the regulation of water ■ supply on canals and rivers is prac--1 ticed nt meny places in France and 3 other countries and for at least 75 t years in Ohio and the Miami and Erie 3 canal, and elsewhere.
