John Linder Fatally Injured
John Linder died about 1:30 this afternoon due to injuries received in an accident that happened approximately 8:30 this morning (Thursday) when a caterpillar he was unloading rolled over on him with both he and the cat rolling into a drain ditch.
It was said that the truck was stuck, and the caterpillar tipped over when he was apparently attempting to back the caterpillar off the truck.
Mr. Linder’s son, Johnny, was the only one near the accident that occurred about a quarter mile from the Henry Maurer home, Fairacres. The boy ran all the way to the Maurers to get help, according to Tiny Osborn, Wilder marshal. Mr. Linder was taken to the hospital by a Peckham-Dakan-Davis ambulance, where he was immediately listed in critical condition.
