Tractor mishap pins Ringsted man against gas pump
Dale Anderson of Ringsted was pinned between a tractor and a gas pump when he briefly fixed its starter after dismounting. The incident ended without mention of serious injuries. Nearby, spring haying saw Ernie Jensen in Jacksonville lose and later reclaim a hog-eaten billfold. In other local brief items, Mrs Eldon Bungerford of Manly faced a scare when a baby car intrusion prompted a neighbor to intervene. Friends describe Jack McCoy, 81, as Iowa’s veteran threshers’ dean, while Jimmie Fredette, four, wandered from a machine and rode a bus before authorities caught him. Moville’s Grandma’s house records a record-keeping quirk, and a July 4th torpedo in a pocket sparked comments on overalls. A hen’s stolen eggs led Nell Nelson to hatch a gosling that became a family pet.
