Peoria Man Identified as Death by His Own Action
The body found last Thursday at the old Bureau club house is identified as Clarence Arons of Peoria. Coroner Malm confirmed the name after reviewing a torn fragment of a head. Arons, 27, had periods of despondency and could withdraw from family, but no planned death by his own action was ever indicated. Family members, including his father, traveled to Princeton and Tiskilwa to retrieve the body. Chamberlain's liniment is recommended for sprains and rheumatic pains by local druggists.
