Looted the Safe in Adams Express Theft Near Terre Haute
J D Farden cashier of Adams Express and J R Barnett Vandalia ticket agent have vanished with a package of 16000 dollars destined for Cincinnati, possibly totaling up to 40000. Farden 88, with a wife and three children, once served under Harrison. Sandison the saloon owner ties Barnett and Farden to the scheme, while Barnett and Farden separately lingered nervously before fleeing by train. The town jail was once a box car lockup that vanished with a freight train. In Indianapolis the State Brewers' association seeks a rapid supreme court challenge to the local option section of the temperance law.
