Tragic Find Muncie Track Death Near Murray Station
The mangled remains of Thomas Clayton, about 45 and unmarried, were found on the Muncie track at Murray Station, twenty miles south of Bluffton. A farm hand who lived with his brother in Bluffton, he left town days earlier saying he would seek work in Murray. His remark that he would “give up the ghost” if work failed leads friends to suspect suicide rather than accident. The scene was reported to the Wells county coroner, who transported the body to Bluffton for examination.

Officials Face Tax Board Over County Assessments
Indianapolis hearings drew nearly 100 county officials in response to summons by the state tax commission. Allen County Assessor Heath protested a proposed 5 percent increase, noting improvements rose 15 to 60 percent and land values spiked with Fort Wayne area properties. He argued Allen county land had been overvalued, though he supported a 15 percent cut on improvements and warned of double taxation if valuations remained excessively high.
