PORTSMOUTH IS ISOLATED| Food and Water Rationed in! Many Cities; Waters Put Out Fires | Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan, 23.—(P)—| More than 75,000 Ohioans made home- | less by a record Ohio river flood faced hunger and bitter cold Saturday and the threats of fire and disease. A milk and food shortage threat- ened in industrial Portsmouth, half covered with water to a depth as great as 11 feet. Damage there was officially set at $1,000,000, while Cincinnati’s loss was officially forecast at $5,000,000, In scores of other villages and cities along 200 miles of the Ohio in this state the story was much the same. Order Leoters Shot In Cincinnati, the unofficial word went out to “shoot the looters.” Of- ficlals .were bound to conserve the food supply—cut off by flood-wrecked ‘tation facilities. Police of Greater Cincinnati issued “shoot to kill” orders to patrolmen in, flood sections after numerous reports were received of looting flooded homes, “We have things well in hand un- leas unforeseen occurs,” the igus Not Oil s Hit Baker ‘Strike’ Was Erroneou However, Third Well Re- veals Oil Pool Oil in one new well, salt water in the other. That was the authentic report Sat- urday from the prospective oil field in Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana. E Reports that oil had been discovered in the No, 2 well six miles northwest, ‘of Baker, as reported Friday in The Tribune and other newspapers, was in error, grievously in error. For that is the well where salt water was encountered at 17,264 fet; just where it had been hoped to find oil. The hole will be plugged back and developed as a gas well, gas having been encountered at 900 feet and again at 1,400 feet. The hope of oil in this well—and possibly from any well drilled in this area—has definitely vanished. Report Suurce Is Mystery How it came about that an appar- ently authentic report of the discovery of oil in this well had been broad- cast from Baker, Mont., was a mystery to both the Montana-Dakota company and the newspapers. No official of Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co., said in|the company ever said anything to in- dicate that oll had been found there. In fact, the only report on the well northwest of Baker definitely men- the river's 300-mile course on Ohio's | eastern and southern borders. HENRY LUND NAMED CHIEF OF HIGHWAY PATROL FOR STATE 8. E. Ellsworth Appointed At- torney for Highway Depart- ment by McGurren Henry Lund of Stanley, former Mountrail’ couhty ‘sheriff, Saturday. became superintendent of the state highway patrol. Appointment of Lund, who served four years as sheriff until 1935, was announced Commissioner by Highway P. H. McGurren. Previously he had been a deputy, sheriff in Mountrail | of county for four years and from 1923 to 1925 @ special agent for the Great Northern railroad. He is a World war veteran. Lund succeeds Frank:Putnam, dis- missed, following the ouster of for- mer Highway Commissioner W. J. orth dismussed shortly after was ousted by Gov. William Langer. G. W.

Cincinnatians were advised to draw emergency drinking water supplies to prepare for = possible shortage. @andbags held back water around the city’s pumping and electric light plants and officials hoped they would hold up to 74 feet—one and one-half foot higher than the present crest. Western Hamilton county (Cincin- nati) was without lights for 45 min- utes early Saturday before a burned- out transformer was repaired. The gas supply was shut off in Portsmouth’s flooded business dis- trict as a precaution against explo- sions of water-weakened mains. Or East Liverpool and Zanesville, were affected to a greater or lesser extent. ’ Newpert Inundated “Water is pouring into the base- ment of the city hall and jail,” Bud Smith, for the Cincinnat! Enquirer, said by telephone from iso- lated Newport, Ky., where 80 city squares or approximately one-third city of 30,000 was under water, with 10,000 homeless. “The fires are out and 40 prisoners are howling from cold. Police Chief Leo Livingston lectured them and told them ‘many sre worse off out- side,’ but they still howl.” Estimat clal estimates have placed Ports- mouth’s loss at over $1,000,000. Other cities dotting the Ohio's banks counted their damage at thousands. Snow Snaris Traffic A three-inch snow snarled automo- bile traffic here and busses and au- tomobiles stalled on the city’s seven hills, which saved the homes of at least 700,000 of the metropolitan area's 750,000 residents. Relief forces mobilized to fight dis- ease and hunger—feared twin com- of disast It will be at 1 a week, Devereaux said, before the stream will return to its banks, Manslaughter Trial Begun in Valley City Valley City, N. D., Jan. 23.—Trial of Joe of Fingal for man- slaughter was reopened here Friday. Michalski was convicted last-year on the manslaughter charge but the verdict was set aside by the North Dakota supreme court and a new trial was granted. In another Clarification of the news brought both pleasure and disappointment to persons interested in the prospective development of this field. Had the well north of Baker been have defi- to be one of who issued the announcement that salt water and not oil had been found. ‘The Tribune has arranged with the Montana-Dakote company to receive ‘at once all official bulletins i ing to the company’s operations in the prospective oil field to prevent the pos- sibility of further errors of this na- ture. ‘Bottineau Judgment what Allayed by Arrival of Cold Weather BLIZZARD HITS CINCINNATI 12 States View Torrents That Are Taking Tremendous Property Tolls (By the Associated Press) * Out of the flood stricken areas of 10 states Saturday came nearly 300,000 refugees, leaving behind them a rising tide of devastating water. Their cries for food and shelter mobilized the relief forces of the na- tion and brought from President Roosevelt a public appeal for $2,000,- 000 to allay human misery in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, Rain swollen rivers declared no truce. The Ohio reached a stage of 72.8 feet at Cincinnati and covered | |approximately one-seventh of the city. It continued to rise down its course to Cairo, Ill. The coast guard ordered two am- phibian planes and 22 boats to Mem- phis for emergency flood duty. More than 40 boats already were in service in the flood areas and 13 boats and 56 men were en route to Cincinnati, Cold Adds to Suffering Bitter cold added to the suffering ot the flood refugees, but acted to stay the rise of waters. Weather bureaus darkened the picture with « -predic- divided among these states: Ohio and Tennessee four each; West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, two each, Mississippi, Arkansas and Pennsyle vania, one each, The river stage at Cincinnatl, after reaching @ record breaking crest of 72.1 feet Saturday, was almost staq tlonary, but bordering W.

Sam Johnson of near Lansford, was denied by the supreme court a showing of “newly discovered evidence first presented after the appeal was perfected.” Action of the Barnes county dis- trict court in holding that the will of| Herman Sterke of Valley City, was legal, is affirmed in another ruling. The high court reversed the deci- sion of the district court of Golden Valley county and remanded an ac- tion to enforce contract for the sale of real property to the lower court for a new trial. Acting upon an appeal by Stener Ekre of Golden Valley, defendant, the ‘sul court ruled that the plain- tiffs C. J. Weiser, R. A. Engebretson and L.
