Item 5.  Other Events

     On June 7, 2000, the board of directors of Mutual First Financial, Inc.
("Mutual First"), the holding company for Mutual Federal Savings Bank (the
"Bank"), and Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. ("'Marion"), the holding company for
First Federal Savings Bank of Marion, entered into a definitive agreement (the
"Merger Agreement") to combine in a strategic alliance (the "Merger"). The
Merger Agreement calls for a tax-free exchange of each outstanding share of
Marion common stock for 1.862 shares of Mutual First common stock, with cash
paid in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, First Federal Savings Bank of Marion will merge with and into Mutual
Federal Savings Bank.

     The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase and is expected to close in
the fourth quarter of 2000. The Merger Agreement has been approved by the boards
of directors of both companies. However, it is subject to certain other
conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of both companies and the
approval of regulatory authorities.

     The foregoing information does not purport to be complete and is qualified
