Morality Lapses and Fires Hit Indiana Towns
A string of tragedies and crimes crosses Indiana towns from Muncie to Indianapolis. Notable events include a fatal scalding of Sylvan Ballard, an eight-thousand-dollar factory fire at Peck & Abbott in Lafayette, and the arrest of George Denning for horse stealing. Col. Zollinger, Fort Wayne mayor, dies, while Johnson and Lee families face forged checks and embezzlement cases. A dozen pension notices and multiple court actions complete the day’s record of disorder and public affairs.
