BEG YOUR PARDON!
-Arthur Powers, of Vermillion, S.D., husband of the woman who was killed
near Akron, says that published accounts of the accident erred in the
following particulars:
The dead woman was 31 years old, not 35; he was driving south, not north; it
was not raining hard at the time of the accident as was published; there was
another occupant of the car who was injured. He was James Thomosen, with
three broken ribs, hips bruised, who is still in bad condition, but
improving.
-Members of the DeVall family, heirs of the former owners of what is now the
county home for the aged, objected to the item which implies that the
DeValls were receiving aid from the county, and that the home was taken by
the county on a claim for aid received, after their death.
None of the DeValls have ever received a cent of aid from the county. Mrs.
DeVall, wife of the former owner, was a patient in the state hospital at
Cherokee, and after her death the bill was presented to the heirs. The heirs
settled the bill by turning the house over to the state. The county later
obtained the house from the state, there having been an agreement all
around.
