Norman Helmke Injures Hands in Hayrope Pulley
Norman Helmke suffered a broken finger and flesh torn from several others along with injuries to his left palm and right fingers while unloading hay at the W. H. Helmke farm northeast of Renwick. A twisting rope above the unloading fork drew his hands into the pulley. He was taken to Eagle Grove for treatment. The left hand, though most injured, will sideline him as he is left handed.
