FARMER HAS BONES CRUSHED UNDER A BINDER
Joseph Tesarik, Francis Creek Victim of Bad Accident
SEAT BREAKS AND THROWS HIM UNDER


With his collar bone broken and his chest crushed in such a manner as to give his family grave apprehension as to other injuries not yet determined, Joseph Tesarik, a prominent Town of Kossuth farmer, lies at his home near Francis Creek in a precarious condition as a result of an accident. Tesarik was returning from a field of grain driving a team of horses attached to a self binder when the binder wheel struck a rut in the road, the seat of the machine broke and he was thrown off backward.

Tesarik retained his hold on the reins and in this manner the team was backed and the binder wheel is said to have passed over the prostrate man. Neighbors who saw the accident rushed to his assistance and he was carried to his home and a physician called to administer to him. The injuries found consisted of a severe break to the collar bone and the bones of the chest were crushed in so that some of the vital organs may have received injury. Fortunately, the team did not become frightened and kick the man as he was down under the machine or run away or Tesarik would undoubtedly have been killed.

Tesarik is one of the well known farmers of Francis Creek and is over 50 years of age, making his condition the more precarious. He is a married man with a family and lives one half mile west of the village of Francis Creek. Inquiry by telephone today gave the response that Tesarik has an even chance for recovery it being impossible to determine to what extent he is hurt internally. the Tesarik family is well known in this city and friends will hope for recovery.
