DAMAGE FROM
Severe STORM
OF hail SLIGHT
Street Car Service Held Up
for Time-Fair Wealth
er Forecast.

Indianapolis seemed none the
worse today after a severe hail and
rainstorm which struck the city at
D. III. Monday. Street car service
was at a. standstill for a few hours
in some streets and a few telephone
and power wires were put out Of
commission for a time.
Forecast Is for mostly fair weather
tonight and Wednesday. with little
change in temperature.
Although purely local in charac-
ter, according to the United States
weather bureau. the combined hail
and rain storm was one of the worst
ever experienced by the city. Sew
eral streets were flooded and others
were covered with hailstones ranging
from the size Of pebbles to walnuts.
Greatest damage was to gardens
within a one-mile radius of Monu-
ment Circle. No damage to State
crops was reported.
In fifteen minutes the downpour
registered 1.72 inches, half of which
was estimated to have been hail.
Police made twenty-five emergency
runs on reports that easements were
flooded and seven fire alarms were
turned in when lightning struck
buildings.
Inability Of sewers on Virginia
and Massachusetts, AYES. to carry
away the water caused serious tie
ups in street car traffic.
Service departments Of the Mer.
chants Heat and Light Company
and the Indianapolis Light and Heat
Company reported damage TO a few
wires.
Several minor accidents occurred as
a result of the storm. Walter
Adams. 537 Highland Ave. was in.
jured about the chest when the auto
mobile in which he was riding col
lided with one driven by Conley
Plummer, 1924 S. Sherman Dr., at

both machines said they were
blinded by the rain.
