Erratum
Due to an error in the plotting software the B-bars in Figs. 3, 9 and 13 in the paper were not correctly displayed. The problem is only for displaying and does not affect the analysis and conclusions presented in the paper. In this erratum we show the corrected figures.


  \begin{figure*} \mbox{\hspace*{2.3cm}{\bf Original PI + B-vectors}\hspace*{6cm} ... ...cs[bb=77 176 633 653,angle=-90,width=8.8cm,clip]{6001efig3b.ps} }\end{figure*} Figure 3: Gray-scale images of the polarized intensity (PI) with overlaid bars for every third pixel in the B-field direction (polarization angle $\rm PA+ 90\hbox {$^\circ $ }$). The length of the bars is proportional to PI with a lower limit of about $\sigma _{PI}=0.4$ mK $T_{\rm B}$. A polarized intensity of 1 mK $T_{\rm B}$ corresponds to a bar-length of 0.2 degree. Contours show total intensities with the same (positive) levels as in Fig. 1.

The H$\alpha $ contours start at 8 Rayleigh and run in steps of 2 Rayleigh. The position of the B0 III star Hilt 102 is indicated.

The H$\alpha $ intensity contours start from 10 Rayleigh and run in steps of 3 Rayleigh. A B-type star located in the center of G124.0+1.4 is marked.
