Legislature Proceeds with Vetoes and Appointments
The Indiana legislature reports a busy session with Governor Baker vetoing the Applegate bill on state hospital trustees and a custodian election. Both houses overrode the veto, naming trustees for the Logansport hospital and others, while notable bills on eight-hour work, bribery, and militia funding move through. The Grimes Bichouski contest and the northern prison terms stir debate as partisan action shapes the day.

Claypool bill settles Rockhill estate title controversy
The Claypool bill passed the legislature and was signed by the governor to resolve disputes over property titles in the Rockhill additions and estates. It states that after a childless wife dies, children from a former marriage who conveyed land or received payment will be treated as if the second wife’s heirs never claimed title, barring future claims. The measure applies statewide to similar cases beyond Rockhill.
