Murders and fires dominate a chaotic Indiana news page
A wide range of incidents fills the column: a man uses a pen knife in a fatal attack on his young cousin, a Terre Haute fire plant project, a disputed bond issue over water works, and multiple local crimes and accidents. Reports include deaths by boiler explosion, a man killed by a falling tree near Jeffersonville, burglary sprees in Galveston, and a missing woman who vanished after prompting care for her child. The blast of unusual events also notes a horse-drawn trolley accident, a drowning scare, and various court actions and local governance moves in towns like Richmond, Delphi, and Logansport.
