Very Cold Day as Pinkertons Probe Indiana
An array of Indiana items fill the page from Pinkertons in Huntington and heavy crime notes to fires, suicides, and lawsuits. Reports span Vigo to Wabash counties with cases of missing persons, libel suits, gambling prosecutions, and railway trouble amid town politics. Notable names include Anderson, Muncie, Fort Wayne, Peru, Terre Haute, and Indianapolis figures, with events from gas fires, courthouse nines, and a looming court house in Brazil.
