Wreck on Corydon Branch Railroad Avoids Harm
A passenger coach left its track on the Corydon Branch near Corydon on December 23 but the engine pulled free and the train stopped without injuries.

Separately ministers held a reorganized association meeting naming Revs. Onstott and Campbell as President and Secretary and set a Prayer Week from January 6 to 10 1914 with services at multiple churches each evening and united communion planned.
