Show I Tractor Accident Injures Ballard Farmer W. Russel Todd, Ballard farmer farm-er and building contractor, was seriously injured last Friday, when a tractor that he was using to clean ditches on his farm, threw him off and ran over him. He was taken to the Roosevelt LDS Hospital, where he is confined with a broken pelvis bone. According to Mr. Todd's own story about the accident, he was attempting to turn the tractor and ditcher around in the deep ditch he was cleaning, and as he drove the machine up the side of the bank the tractor lunged, throwing Mr. Tood under un-der the front wheel, which passed over his body. After he recovered from the shock he climbed onto the tractor trac-tor and drove it approximately one-half mile to his home. He was rushed to the hospital by his wife and daughter. His condition con-dition is considered good. I |
