Thug Robbery at Latta Farm Sparks Indiana Outcry
Five masked men robbed the Latta residence four miles north of Ligonier Indiana after forcing entry with a fence rail. They bound Mrs. Latta and her mother Mary Layton then stole $8 jewelry valued around 260 dollars and fled. Police used bloodhounds but suspicion falls on local talent as a dog linked to the Latta home. In Winchester Indiana the Pentecost Band suspends missionary work after an attack on ministers Klein and Huff with no police protection.
