Exploding Hollow Stirs Indiana Farm Near Marechal Fuller
Remarkable subterranean explosion rumbled from a hollow on Marechal Fuller’s farm twenty miles east of here. The blast lifted rock and brook bed, sent debris miles away, and a persistent rumbling for about fourteen hours followed. A gas odor was noted despite being far from the gas belt. Nearby towns report political and social items, including local elections, marriages, fights, and unusual incidents as Indiana counties update results across the state.

Wind, guns, and politics mark county news
A Democratic party parade with Charley Moore Gus Smith Charley Given Len Ward and Clarence Miller toured the town with a powder keg on the ammunition wagon and a double anvil battery for practice. Thomas Nest, a young farmer, died after a long illness and was buried at Stillwell. A fierce wind storm disrupted the area, tossing timber and knocking the lumber crew into mud. A 16 or 17 year old boy lost two fingers from a shotgun blast while hunting. New improvements by J A Witnewa and Lichtenberger are noted, and Ira Bene delays naming his youngest son until after the next president. A Thanksgiving Ball is planned, Manns mill awaits river rise, and R A Winsey shot a 15-pound loon. Postoffice candidates multiply, fireworks trade rises, and a park tree replacement program continues.
