MATHIAS BIES (d. 1954)
Condition of Injured Driver Termed Worse
MANITOWOC—Condition of Matt Bies, 73, driver of a car in which his passenger, James DeWane, 86, retired Cooperstown farmer, was killed Sunday afternoon on the Highway 141 overhead ___ of Highway 10, has taken a turn for the worse.
His attending physician, Dr. W. A. Rauch, said Bies has been in a coma ever since he was brought to Memorial Hospital following the accident. He showed slight improvement Tuesday but his rally was shortlived and Wednesday he was reported worse.
He cannot be revived sufficiently to tell how the accident happened. His car collided with one driven by Louis Bleser, 77, of Rt. 5, Manitowoc.
