Minnesota Farmer Plunges Beneath

His Own Hayrack.

Olivia, Minn., Sept 11.—Frank Senkyr, a farmer living In Henryville nine miles south, was leaning over the front end of an empty hayrack to urge on his horses when a board broke and he fell head first to the ground, both wheels passing over him. He walked to the house, a distance of 400 feet, and, after telling his wife of the accident, fell to the floor dead. Bemidji Pioneer September 13, 1909
