Murder and mayhem mix in Indiana town notes
A sprawling list of local incidents and deaths across Indiana includes a fatality from a runaway accident, a murder-for-money report near Terre Haute, a man killed by a club in Kokomo fish tale, a Wabash fire department lacking horses, a deadly milk disease in Jefferson county, and multiple reunions, storms, and infrastructure updates. Names and places such as Richmond, Greenfield, Fort Wayne, Seymour, Shelbyville, Madison, and Logansport recur amid reports of gas finds, electricity, rail wrecks, and civic happenings.
