Indiana Briefly Told
A compact Indiana roundup reports a Corydon National Bank embezzlement case with three executives convicted and sentenced to three years plus bond. It covers harbor commission picks, crops and nut yields, land sales, chinch bugs, early wheat prices, county indictments, a behemoth local burial, arrests for patrician crimes, a large farm sale, Klan jury eligibility rulings, construction plans, and statewide public notices. It notes coal miner strikes and commissaries, Ku Klux Klan contributions, and church camp meetings, plus state education talks, berry prices, naval reserve training in Indianapolis, and farm labor signals.
