Bert McCowen, a well known farmer living south of Dumont, died from injuries sustained in a very peculiar accident. McCowen was covering a quantity of baled hay with straw at the time of the accident and handling the bales with a hook. A bale he had hooked into broke and he fell over backwards, striking on his head. He never rallied from the injury and died the next morning
