Cascade Pioneer, Cascade, Iowa, Friday, Morning, February 15th, 1895

A frightful accident, says a Monticello dispatch, happened Wednesday morning on the farm of Diedrich Burrack, near Bowen Prairie. Mr. Burrack was engaged in operating a feed grinder, run by power from a wind mill, when he became caught in the shafting and was instantly mangled beyond recognition. His brother-in-law, who was near, stopped the machinery as soon as possible and extricated the unfortunate man, but it, was too late as death ensued. Mr. Burrack was a highly respected farmer and his untimely end is deeply deplored.
