Receivership Clarifies Two Indiana Traction Firms
The Indianapolis, Logansport and South Bend Traction Railway and the South Bend and Logansport Railway are separate entities with no shared interests. The newer company, formed in 1908, plans a route from South Bend via Presmuth to Logansport with Plymouth extension, and is financially healthier while old company assets wind up. The Huffman death suit against Isler was dismissed for lack of malice, with the judge noting the death resulted from natural cause and Isler acted on business.
