1867 -- an exciting year

Indiana American, November 1867

Wood Wanted on Subscription

Those of our subscribers who wish to pay their subscriptions in wood, are reminded that the Winter season is rapidly approaching, and they are therefore urgently requested to bring it forward. Do not delay any longer.

Attempt to Break Jail

The two men confined to our county jail on a charge of stealing clothing at Stephen Warne's residence on Monday of last week, and who were arrested at Batesville, were discovered attempting to escape through the roof of the jail building on Sunday evening last.

They were seen just in time to prevent their getting away, and were again secured. That jail is not of much account, if one may judge by the several recent successful attempts of prisoners getting through the roof.

Exhumed

A number of skeletons were recently exhumed by men digging in a gravel pit near Milton, Wayne County. The bodies had been deposited in an upright position and head downward.

Hog Pens

A number of hog pens for the benefit of shippers have been built near Conwell's pork house on the Valley Railroad at Connersville.

Railroad Meeting

There will be a meeting of the friends of the East Fork Railroad held at Fairfield on Saturday evening, the 30th. Col. J. H. Farquhar and others will be present to adjudicate the meeting Let there be a large attendance.
