Good morning, Muncie.

On July 28th, 1900, a fire burned the new Progress post office and store six miles southwest of Muncie, leading Ed Sharp to suspect arson after he found footprints and discarded mail—clues that may have masked a robbery, while the once busy Soccum and Richwood slowly faded into quiet settlements.

The Blue River Valley Vikings won a 4-2 game against Wes-Del on May 1 to break a recent slump, with sophomore Kalub Heltzel pitching five strong innings and recording five strikeouts plus coach Jake Isenbarger saying the win has boosted team confidence as they prepare for a May 3 doubleheader with Liberty Christian.
