INDIANAPOLIS HIT BY TORNADO SUNDAY While Rensselaer People Were Enjoying Fine Day Wind Storm Was Raging at Capital. Sunday was the finest kind of a June day in this part of the state but in Indianapolis there was a tornado that tied up the traction * lines ad wrought great havoc with telephone and light wires. The storm hit Indianopolis at about 12:30 o’clock. Trees were uprooted, telephone and electric light poles were torn down and interurban traffic paralyzed. A pole crushed an automobile in which E. M. Copple was riding and he extricated himself from a mesh of live wires and was not hurt. St. Clair street was the scene of the worst damage and roofs of houses and porches were carried away. Autos that were standing in the street were crushed by falling polls. Several fires resulted. The Star printed pictures showing the damage that resulted in parts of that city. Terre Haute, Kokomo, Crawfordsville, Muncie, Brazil and other cities report damage, chiefly to crops. A Kokomo dispatch estimates the crop damage at $50,000. Wheat, corn, oats and fruit were damaged.
