Officials Investigating Strange Odor In Northern Indiana City

POSTED: 6:40 pm EST October 5, 2004

ANGOLA, Ind. -- Something stinks in Angola.

City officials are trying to determine what is causing the strange, mildewy odor hanging in the air over the city of 7,700. Mayor Dick Hickman told the Angola Common Council on Monday that he had taken some calls on the stench, and had smelled it himself.

"We've been trying to track it down," he told the Herald-Republican newspaper. "We've talked to the factories, but we can't seem to pinpoint where it might be coming from."

Hickman said the first calls he took about the smelly air were from people on the north end of Angola, which is about 25 miles north of Fort Wayne, but now he's heard from people as far away as four miles west of the city smelling it.

"All we can do is keep looking into it and keep smelling," Hickman said.
