LOST LIFE IN CAR ACCIDENT

Jasper Yepsen of Kanawha was fatally injured July 6th when he and Mrs. Yepsen were on their way home from Yetter where they had spent the Fourth with their daughter, Mrs. P. E. (Dorothy) Miller. As they were driving near Eagle Grove a tire blew out, causing the car to turn over, breaking off the door and pinning them in. A doctor from Eagle Grove happened along and assisted them out from the car and took them to his office. Mr. Yepsen suffered a broken jaw and collar bone and several ribs and chest injuries. He passed away that afternoon. Mrs. Yepsen was not seriously injured. Besides his wife, the deceased is survived by seven sons and one daughter.
