Car Rolls Down Hill and Crushes Him Against Threshing Machine
W. B. Rosenbaum, prominent farmer living west of Kennard, was severely injured about 4 Saturday afternoon while helping to thresh at the Earl Larsen farm west of town. A car that had been left standing on sloping ground near the Larsen house started rolling down hill toward the threshing machine and before Chester Rosenbaum, son of the injured man, who saw the car's descent could climb inside to stop it, the car struck Mr. Rosenbaum, crushing him against the threshing machine which he was oiling. Mr. Rosenbaum was taken to Kennard and then to Blair to Court View hospital for care. He suffered crushed pelvic bones and other injuries that were considered very serious. At this time, his condition is critical with slight hope for recovery.
