Accident on Bancroft farm claims young man life
A 20 year old, James Mayer, son of H J and Mrs Mayer, died after a farm accident on the Bruer and Sherman farm north of Bancroft last week. While his father dragged wire for a new fence, a post spar and bar caused the wire to tear into his left leg. He was taken to Bancroft and the leg amputated, but he succumbed to the shock Friday afternoon. Burial followed in Cass County.
