Indiana town faces bold crime wave amid accidents and arrests
A late 19th century dispatch reports a rash of incidents across Indiana and nearby towns. Vivid items include a deadly mine explosion injury, a public vote buying claim at Monticello, factory purchases at Elwood, multiple local accidents and arrests, a provincial bank dividend note, and a dramatic warehouse blast in Lafayette with engineer fatalities.
