Notable Indiana Snippets and Local Sanity Items
A Kokomo correspondent recalls Peter Coulter who at 84 has smoked since 14 to ease a long ago sore. Tales span Marengo Cave disputes, Lafayette library bean circulation, a swindler selling Ceylon rose shoots, a Warsaw man with a lead bullet removed after decades, and a travelers’ counterfeit bill warning. Reports cover county attitudes toward African Americans, injuries in Montpelier, a Fortville delusional drill, Parke county land wealth and sister care, coal holes along Air Line, tobacco dealer indictments, prison library funds, Knox barn burnings, bogus lottery tickets in Indianapolis, and Poseyville saloon curbs.
