Nearby Residence Also Suffers Dam
age-It Was "Here 1t Comes and

Indianapolis was visited by one of the
worst short-lived rain and electrical storms
ever experienced in the history of the city
yesterday afternoon. Trees were shattered
and torn up by the roots in various parts
of the city and the street cars were held
for nearly an hour at the corner of Ran
dolph and Mason streets by high water,
which covered the streets from curb to
curb and rushed in wild torrents over the
sidewalks.
Bertermann Bros greenhouse. 1902 East
Washington street, was struck by light
ming and over 700 panes of glass brok-
en-. The cement floor on the inside
was torn up and the earth rent where the
storm god gave vent to his anger by shoot
ing electric bolts into the ground.
Shortly after the greenhouse was struck
the residence in which the florists live was
Jared to it's foundations and a hole six
feet square was knocked in the roof by the
turbulent lightning. seemingly bent on de-
stroying the property of the Bertermann

country and several of Indianapolis Oldest
citizens said they could not remember the

SAYS MAN SHOT AT HIM
JAMES ANDERSON CAUSES THE AR
REST OF THREE BROTHERS.
John, Fred and Lewis Beyers Charged
with Assault and Battery with
Intent to Kill.

Warrants were sworn out for the arrest
of John, Fred and Lewis Beyers, employees
OF the Indianapolis Drop Forge Company,
yesterday afternoon by James anderson,
a former employee of the firm, and the three
men were slated at the police station later
- the evening chargd with assault and
battery with intent to kill.
Anderson says he is member Of the
|, Machinists' Union and left the drop forge
works at the time OF the strike there year
ago. He claims that as he was going past
the works yesterday morning one of the
Beyers brothers drew a revolver from his
pocket and shot at him without any provo
cation. He grappeled with the man. he
says. and the other two men attempted to
strike him on the head with heavy bars
of iron, which they picked up in. the fac
tory. Other workmen in the factory in
terfered and stopped the fight. Anderson
says the men who assaulted him are not
members of the unions and knowing that
he was, thought he was sent there to spy
around and see who was in the factory
and decided to get him out of the way.

OLDSOLDIER'S COMPLAINT
FREMONT SWIFT CRITICIsEs MAN
AGEMENT OF LAFAYETTE HOME.
Rules Enforced Are Too Rigid for Old
Men to Conform To, He Says
Speech to Post.

Charges of undue severity were made
against the officers conducting the affairs
of the Lafayette Soldiers Home by FREE
mont Swift, an old soldier of this city, at
the meeting of George H. Chapman Post
last night. Mr.. Swift is a member of the
post and is well known among veterans
connected with the G. A r. in Indianapo-
lis. His speech at the post meeting created
something like a sensation among the men,
bers.
Mr.. Swift spent several months in the La
fayette home, recently receiving treatment
in the hospital. His complaints are based
on observation made while he was on the
sick list. He does not make any accusa-
lions of brutality or of ill-treatment of vet
Grams by any one connected with the home.
He declares, however, that the old soldier
without means is about as we'll off any
where as at Lafayette. In his opinion
there is too much extravaganza. too much
money spent for things which do the in
mates of the home no good.
The charge of undue severity arises from
his belief that the rules of the institution
are too rigid for application to old men,
who late in life find it impossible to con-
form to regulations more fitted for the con-
troll of younger men. He has received an
opinion, he says, from a lawyer of the city
that the rules are not legal. and he may ask
the post to take definite action toward hav-
ing them mitigated.
He declares the officers of the institution
are almost unapprOachable. He said last
night: 1T is humiiating to an old man
who has served his country and who is re-
duced through perjury TO having to live in
the home to have to humble himelf to any
one TO ask for the slightest favor, and that
is what we have TO do at the Lafayette
home" Regarding the matter of extrava-
gance, he says there are employees of the
home who do little and receive fat salaries
for doing it,
His principal complaint arises from the
fact that old soldiers who are pensioners
must either perform manual labor about
the place or pay into the treasury Of the
institution a stated amount of their pen
sion. In many cases, he says, the home
takes so much of the pension money that
there is little left for the veteran to buy
what luxuries he may require He charges
discrimination against pensioners, in that
they have to pay for the tobacco they use
while nonpensioners receive it free. He does
not think it fair that those who go to the
hospital should have to pay over part of
their pension, or that deposit should have
TO be made for burial expenses.
