Threshers, Fly Sparks Machinery Accident
While threshing at John and Will Henrys last week Uncle Tom Henry drove up with a load of grain. A fly on Tom’s horse spooked him, the tail tangled in a pulley belt, breaking the belt and tightener. The resulting chaos halted work as repairs were fetched from Ventura and Mason City. The event ends with a warning to not despise small things.
