REVISED LIST OF DEAD ASSERT‘
TOTAL LOSS OF LIFE CANNOT
HAVE EXCEEDED 250 THERE. 1
AVON PARK, Fla., September 291
—(P)—Revised estimates of the dead
and missing at Moore Haven give the
total loss of not more than 250 lives
according %o military officials pass
ing through Avon Park today after
evdcuating the zone.
Only fifty soldiers remain in the
‘area,
It was said here today that D. L.
Lence, pioneer re‘sid“s of the
Moore Haven section, in collobara--
tion with others had checked upon
refugee lists and the death list, which
now stands at 126, finding jthat but
26 white persons are missing. . :
Although a cursory examinution of
the negro section was said to have
failed to reveal more than a scant
half dozen bodies, the helief was ex
pressed that there are close to 100
negroes missing.
-It is possible, it was said. that
with the first breaking of the dikes,
the negroes might h.ve made their
get away, footing it:along the rail
road right-of-way. This would ten, it
was said, to reduce! the missing list
although it was feared that but few
could have saved-themselves in this
way.
Airplanes would be of very little
use now in the locating of bodies,
the officers said, in that hyacinth
growth and probably covered them.
