Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ewin and Ralph Obermeir (sic-Obermire) of LeMars were
the victims of an automobile accident Sunday night when they were returning
home from Sioux City. When driving along the highway near Merrill in trying
to avoid a collision with a truck, the car driven by Mr. Obermeir (sic)
slipped over the embankment and toppled over in the ditch. Mr. Obermeir
(sic) suffered a fracture of the left shoulder blade and his head was badly
cut. Mrs. Ewin sustained cuts and bruises on her head and she also suffered
a nervous shock. Mr. Ewin escaped injury. It is said that the accident was
due to icy weather conditions and the insistence of a truck driver in
maintaining a large share of the road.
