Clemons met with a most distressing accident Saturday morning at her home four miles southwest of Nashville. The unfortunate lady is an epileptic. While sitting near the fireplace, she was suddenly seized by convulsions and fell head foremost into the fire. Luckily, her husband was near and saved her from cremation. Her eyebrows and all the hair on one side of her head were burned off and her face cauterized At last accounts, she was in great agony, but it is thought her burns will not prove fatal. Her husband, being a firm believer in the "faith cure," refused to call a doctor to alleviate the pain of his suffering wife.

Cincinnati (OH) Commercial Tribune, November 1, 1879, p. 2. DEMAND FOR A MURDERER'S BLOOD AT SALEM, INDIANA [Special to the Cincinnati Commercial] New Albany, Indiana, October 31-Sheriff Fultz of Washington County, who came here from Salem last night with the murderer Thomas Joseph who killed William Gallahan (difficult to read) in that county in September, received a dispatch from Judge Collins at Salem this morning that it would not be safe to return to that town with the prisoner unless he had a company of troops to protect him from the mob. Sheriff Fultz immediately telegraphed Gov. Williams for troops, and at six o'clock this evening, the Indianapolis Light Infantry, Capt. Nick Ruckel, arrived 50 strong, armed with Springfield rifles, and immediately proceeded with the sheriff, his posse, and the prisoner on a special train to Salem where they are expected to arrive at 10 PM. Word is received that up to five o'clock this afternoon, the jury has not agreed as to the penalty, being divided between hanging and imprisonment for life. This report, however, is not altogether reliable and was sent out by the vigilantes who will be satisfied with nothing but the death penalty. If the jury are agreed, the verdict will be rendered tonight, and the prisoner, whatever the verdict, will be returned to the jail in this city for safekeeping until the sentence of the law is carried out. The excitement at Salem continues unabated, many of the mob being additionally excited from liquor.

Since the release of the 1940 federal population census several weeks ago, indexing has already been completed for a number of states, including Indiana. Although some of those states are now searchable, Indiana was not as of May 30. It is believed that the delay comes from a need for final arbitration and otherwise general tweaking. You can check on the indexing progress at https://familysearch.org/1940census/?cid=fsHomeT1940Text_v2. Those states in the rust color have a searchable database. To access a search, simply click on the state. You will need to wade through several pages to access a digital image, but it is there.
My go-to source of information for genealogy research in Indiana is a publication by George K. Schweitzer titled INDIANA GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH. Typically, Schweizter lists available records county-by-county. There is no indication that tax records are available for Bartholomew County. To date, I have not found any inaccuracies in the information Schweizter provides. Copies of this book are still available.

Lexington (KY) Morning Herald, December 18, 1896, p. 2. NOTE: Consider Richey as a spelling variant of Richie. GOLD DISCOVERED IN INDIANA-ACCORDING TO REPORT, THE ORE HAS BEEN FOUND IN PAYING QUANTITES Scottsburg, Indiana, December 18-It is thought that gold has been discovered in paying quantities on the farm of James C. Rickie who resides six miles west of this city. Last August, while a party of young men were making a geological survey through this part of the state, they reported that they had made discoveries of the precious ore, but nothing more was said or thought of this report until some three weeks ago when a party consisting of three young men from Chicago came to this place, since which time they have engaged in digging and analyzing the ore taken from the banks of the stream passing through the farm of Mr. Richie. The explorers believe that the mineral can be found in large quantities in this section of the country, and they feel greatly encouraged as the result of their investigations.
