LOCAL FARMER IS
KILLED IN FALL
OFF HAY WAGON
John Slaichert Lost Footing
When Loading Hay in
Orlo Jensen Field
John Slaichert was instantly killed Tuesday at about 1 p.m. when he fell from a load of hay at the Orlo Jensen farm, three miles north of Osage. Mr. Slaichert was helping the renter, Mr. Jensen, along with a group of other neighbors, in putting up hay.
One man was driving the tractor and Mr. Slaichert was on the wagon hitched to it. As the outfit rounded a corner. Mr. Slaichert lost his footing and fell forward, his head striking the tongue of the wagon, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. A doctor was summoned, but of course, the unfortunate man was beyond help.
John Slaichert was born in Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, May 16, 1892 and came to America when a boy. He came to Mitchell County where his brother, William was already located and he has lived in this vicinity since, with the exception of a short time spent in Chicago.
