Extraordinary Runaway Accident Involving Farmer Paul Pitlick
A farmer, Paul Pitlick, was dragged four quarters of a mile on a country highway with his head hanging between a buggy’s front wheels. The wheel’s spokes burned off 112 square inches of skin, and surgeons fear only skin grafting can save him. Other items note Dr. Carl Viers’s anthrax illness from a mosquito bite while inspecting a cow carcass, a Fort Dodge Savings Bank merger, robberies, post office appointments, child labor law enforcement, and various Iowa news briefs.
