Detail? of the accident have not been learned. Howard was allowed his freedom pending the coroner’s inquest. ' ■; . - The dead mail’s family are on their way to Italy and as yet have not learned of the tragedy. Remington Press —Monday’s Chicago papers report Mr. Frank Howard, of Remington as having run over an unidentified man. The papers say that he took the man to Mercy hospital, where he lived only a few hours. Mr. Howard is making every effort to find the family of the man, provided he left one. Mr. Howard is a very careful driver, and we feel assured that if such an accident did really occur, that he is in no manner whatever to blame. He drove to Chicago Sunday morning to take his mother home, and this happened Sunday afternoon.
