Deputies Missing as Prisoners Escaped in Indiana Quarry
In Kokomo two deputies John Grove and Wallace McClure vanished after taking burglars Samuel Baxter and John Burns from a state reformatory. Questing leads included a forged note and handcuffs found in South Chicago, but searches of two quarries and nearby ponds yielded no trace. Authorities from Tippecanoe County aided the effort and a rumor of a rescue at Frankfort proved false.
