Dayton, O., Nov. 29.—George Mendel, foreman for contractors who built a big concrete dam here, has been missing for three weeks and it is supposed that his remains are buried in the structure. Three Sundays ago Mendel was summoned to the partially completed dam, which had sprung a leak, and when last seen he was standing on the structure.
