Oral argument in three track eleva-
ton cases was had before the In
diana supreme court All the facts in
the cases are now before the court
and IL is believed that a decision will
be handed down before the legislature
meets in January. In case the de-
cision should be against the city and
railroad companies. the legislature
will be asked to amend the track ele-
walton law so that the city and rail
roads will not be liable for damages
10 abutting property in track elevation
work. Tho three cases were com
bined before the court for argument.
and II is expected that one decision
will cover all three.
The cases cover the question OF
damages for Nelson-Morris G. Co. the
sinkerDavis company and the In
dianapolis Light and Heat company.
in connection with the Kentucky av
enue track elevation The first two

that did fifty thousand dollars worth
of damage, unroofed more than a half
dozen business houses damag-

down, twisted and ruined at
least one thousand shade trees, the

Williams was painfully injured. sus-

The storm was accompanied by a

damage as the wind, which travelled
at high velocity, striking at high
places and occasionally swooping

The damage at Ashwood was heav-
Ter than indicated by first reports. Err
nest Dixon arrived in Columbia at
noon to wire relatives out of the coun-
ty and stated that the handsome three
story colonial home was almost in
ruins. The roof was blown off and the
west side of the third story fell in,
completely wrecking everything in
that portion of the second story be-
meath it. The walls are scanned and
cracked, and will probably have to be
torn down. Every window in the
building was broken out. A heavy
pine tree fell across the front veran-
dab, knocking out the parlor window.
Mr.. Dixon, his mother and sister, occu-
pied the lower floor of the building
and escaped injury. Every shade
tree on the magnificent lawn, which
is half mile in length, was blown down
with the exception Of two. Some Of
the trees were hoary with age, and
were almost priceless. The residence
was one of the finest in the county,
and was worth many thousand dollars.
The barn of John j. Stephenson, of
Ashwood was unroofed and the Wal
ker & Jones mill partially unroofed.
Many trees were blown down in that
section and several head of cattle kill

The Storm Approaches.
Thursday evening was sultry and
oppressive. II was day that set the
nerveson edge, rendering the irrita-
BILE more so and gave the good natured
a touch of the crouch. When night
came on the clouds began to pile up
in great banks and the wind blew fit
fully. 1t looked as if the drouth that
has held this section in its embrace
for more than six weeks was to be
broken. Shortly after midnight the |
