HARTINGTON -Jos. Bonertz, who sustained a broken and mangled leg when he was caught in the belt of his feed grinder last week, and whose leg was amputated Thursday night, died Saturday night at 1 o’clock. The amputation was made by Dr. Huff of Yankton and Dr. J. M. Johnson, but the young man’s resistive force was such from loss of blood and the effect of the horribly bruised condition of the broken leg, that they were fearful from the beginning that recovery was doubtful. Everything was done to save this splendid, useful life but to no avail and death came quietly and peacefully.
