Howard Canine Is Killed in Farm Accident
Howard Canine, 26, was killed today in a farm accident at his father’s place four miles west and three-fourths south of Indianola. Howard had been mowing with a tractor mower and apparently fell from the tractor and the mowing machine attachment passed over his body. From all appearances he died almost instantly from the injuries, said Dr. C. H. Mitchell, County Coroner. A neighbor passing by in her car saw the tractor stalled by the roadside and informed the folks at the house. Howard was found where the accident occurred about 2:00 p.m. The accident happened about 11 a.m., said Dr. Mitchell. From the spot where the accident occurred the tractor continued for about 200 years across the field, down through a ditch, across the road and down into a ditch on the opposite side before it stopped. It was here that the neighbor woman noticed it as she was driving by.
