Indianapolis Horse Show Aims to Prove Need for Coliseum
Two hundred top horses from the central Western Circuit and East Coast shows will be exhibited in Indianapolis during the week of September 21 at Sixteenth Street and Senate Avenue. Dr. C D Gray leads the event and says it could rival top eastern and western shows. Success may persuade building a large coliseum for horse shows and other events, echoing plans from the Coliseum Association to replicate Chicago and St Louis venues. If the show succeeds the coliseum project will be pursued immediately afterward.

The Indianapolis horse show aims for regional prominence with top foreign entries and a Central Western Circuit draw.

A ride to hounds, judging by figures like Aurel Bartonyl and George Morris, and extensive rules from the American Horse Show Association frame the event.

Spanish Swindlers Use Wealthy Patriot Tale to Trick Americans
A long, lurid report details Spanish con artists exploiting credulity with a Hollywood style tale of a patriot in a Cuban prison, a fortune, a daughter, and a devoted priest. Letters from Valencia promise immense wealth if a relative abroad helps, with supposed witnesses and last wills. Indiana victims, including a Muncie grocer, are urged to send small sums, but the schemes unravel as letters repeat and honest men resist. Authorities study the fraud as post and government agencies prepare to deter the con artists.
