STORM KILLS TWO
IN HOOSIER STATE

INDIANAPOLIS, March 21-A
storm of tornado proportions which
swept Indiana early today did damage
estimated at $1,000,000 Late reports
from over the state increased the loss,
but the death list remained at two,
although several persons were reported
fatally injured
The dead are:
OMER A. VICE, cab driver at Frank
fort, crushed by falling roof.
HENRY WALTERS. Lafayette,
killed by falling sign. Walters was on
an errand for his sick wife when
killed,
Among the seriously injured are:
Eva Miller, Terre Haute, struck on
head by falling brick while asleep in
bed.
Mrs NJ. C. Clark, Indianapolis. in
iured internally when small building
fell on her.
Bette Hill, negress, Indianapolis,
skull fractured by falling sign.
Patrolman Robenovitz, Indianapolis,
struck on head by brick.
The wire service of the state was
demoralized and many places were en-
tirely without communication. Trees
blown across the trolley wires delayed
tho interurban cars and washouts on
the steam lines in the southern part Of
the state made travel uncertain.
A cold wave following the storm
added to the suffering, as many homes
had been unroofed and windows bro
ken. A drop Of thirty degrees, bringing
the temperature down to about twenty
above zero, was predicted for the
state.

the wire chief Of the Western Union
Telegraph company. His opinion was
echoed by Postal Telegraph chiefs and
those Of the American Telegraph 4 Tel

down than in any storm of recent years
and several days probably will elapse
before wire conditions will approximate
normal.
Throughout the day there were prac-

of the Postal company, but strenuous
work managed to get several wires Of

and miles of line are in ruin.
Train service into this city was de

In Chicago many trolley lines were
tied by fallen power wires or by poles
