Fire and fraud scandal shadow rural roads and rail plans
A garbled report outlines creditors and directors of a company maneuvering for control amid contracts and alleged graft. It mentions a Decatur freight car incident, a religion of temperance on Sundays, and a cattle of public notices. A late Sunday indictment, and a harsh focus on a prominent landholder’s residence, are noted.
