MANY LIVES LOST BY FLOOD.

Damage to Propery in Indiana Is Greater than Was Stated in the First Estimates.

Greensburg, Ind., March 29 - The damage and loss from the flood in this county will surpass first estimates. It is thought is will reach the $150,000 mark. Three members of the Walters family in the Tanners Creek bottoms are missing, and a farm hand, Albert Phillips, was a victim in the cloudburst at Moscow. There was only one fatality at Westpor, the drowning of Claude Shane. Late reports indicate loss of life of Flat Rock, below St. Paul, at the Junction of Conn's Creek, where two members of one family perished.
