FRUIT ESCAPES FREEZING

More Damage by Hail Than by the Cold Weather. Indianapolis, May 4. Dispatches from special correspondents say the cold wave did not ktlK. cherries and other fruits, though ice formed at Terre Haute and other places. Frost did some damage, but it was not general, as the strong wind kept the frost from forming. Fort Wayne says that despite the low temperature no harm was done in that part of the state. The severe storms did more damage than the cold weather, as hall literally cut the. newly formed rrult from the trees in the southern part of the state. No serious damage to strawberries is reported.
