The South Bend Tribune, as used — and the one story not reached

THE COUNTY'S DAILY · READ WHERE REACHED, ITS MOST-WANTED PAGE UNREACHED

What it is: the metropolitan daily in whose pages Walkerton appears when the county notices it, used across the build at the strengths of its carriers: the March 4, 1948 game story (the town team's 77–46 loss to Studebaker Local No. 5, bylined by the schoolboy Walter LaFeber) read in its Independent carriage; the 1986 anti-incorporation answer and the December 1992 Bayh branch-assumption statements at press strength; the 2005 closure-fight numbers standing as the Mishawaka Public Library's catalog preserves them. And then the exception this section exists to print plainly: the single most consequential Tribune page for this town — the original mound story of October 4, 1925, "Skeleton in Armor Found in Indian Burial Mound" — was not reached in these passes, by this build or by the scholarly examiner who worked the story before it (Colavito records the same want). What circulates online is the wire version (the San Jose Evening News of October 23, 1925, and its siblings), which the Stories leg prints as the wire version. The original's settler is named and stands: the Tribune on microfilm at the St. Joseph County Public Library, with a second route now open — the Newspapers.com Publisher Extra access carried in the town's standing research catalog, a browser-pass item. A sources file that hides its most-wanted page is a bibliography; this one prints it as a want.

Principal sources: South Bend Tribune items as cited in the Sports, BMV and Stories legs, at the carriers' strengths printed there; Jason Colavito's 2013 examination for the 1925 story's transmission record.
