Then the thermometer seesawed mildly upward, slipped back a few notches, climbed again, dropped again. . . . Bome consolation was provided by skating on Lake Sullivan and tobogganing on the Coffin golf course after a three-week lapse. . . . But winter's come-back had its debit side, too, as an epidemic of fire and trafic accidents swept Indianapolis. . . Assistant Fire Chief Roscoe McKinney and two other firemen were injured in a blaze that whipped through the plant of the Marion County Mail on Market st. near Alabama, throwing a smoke pall over the downtown district. . . . An elderly woman died in a fire on Knox st. . . .
