No articles will bo published without signature of the author. 0 —, With reference to the article published in your paper Wednesday, I wish to give the true situation of the very unfortunate circumstances which occurred at our house on Sunday evening. Paul Reidenbach came to our residence and created a disturbance about taking the child as he has done on at least two other occaisons and on said occaisons he has been arrested for assault and disorderly conduct and after being advised that since he is not paying support he could not have the child, he struck my husband. He attempted to run to a waiting car as he has done on other occassions but on this occasion my husband defended himself and noone else was involved in the altercation. This letter is written without any malice and only for the purpose of stating the facts which can be proven by court records here and by neighbors and friends who were present at the home at the time of the assault. It is my intention to give the truth for the benefit of all concerned and especially for the child over which the entire matter started. I am giving you this information so that a statement can be printed, which will bear out the real circumstances. Your truly, Mrs. Bonnie Reindenbach Starr Canada geese fly about 55 miles per hour. ♦ DON’T TAKE A CHANCE TAKE PLENAMINS Smith Drug Co.
