Horrible Scenes Witnessed in Dayton, Ohio

By United Preti Staff Correipondetn
Dayton, Ohio, March 27-Charlci H. Van Horn, one of the rescuers who has gone further in North Dayton than anyone, returned this morning completely unnenred.
He is the first one to disclose the situation in that section. The story dictated by Van Horn fellaws:
"I hope my eyes will nver be punished again by such a sight. This awful happening cannot be exaggerated. It has been said that 3,500 people hare met death
Jr. the fire and flood in that section, I should say that there have been at least 2,500.
. "We went to Third and St Clair streets, which is farther than anyone has gone before. Twice our boat struck whirling human bodies. They turned like spoolf
on a machine in a whirlpool.
"We went as near the fire as we possibly could. . Some of those penned up in the buildings must hare seen us because we fceird their cries for help. I looked p
and saw people standing in the windows and then saw them fall back into the flames. All of Dayton will probably burn unless the fire is soon extinguished.'
