Local notes and notices from La Porte and vicinity
A patchwork of community items: fruit dealers report spraying in orchards, LaPorte weighs absorbing an iron mill with 200 workers, smallpox concerns fade in Michigan City, churches aid San Francisco missions, and local officials address pipes, bridges, and a potential hose company reorganization. Also reported are deaths, weddings, school news, and a startling case of a Westville superintendent abandoning his wife and home with financial troubles and unclear destination.
