Various Fires, Crimes, and Local Tragedies Rattle Lafayette
A grim Lafayette batch of incidents fills the page with fires and accidents. An armed brigand is arrested after a burglary near Martinsville, a major brick plant burns near Elwood, and a deadly gas explosion injures workers. Local figures including ex councilmen and merchants are noted, along with a Goshen man’s 24 year absence return and a thief sentenced. A barber shop quarrel ends fatally as a man dies from an artery wound and a printer strike shuts a local shop. The weather, public notices, and upcoming events mingle with political points and crime news from nearby towns.
