Tractor mishap kills youth

RICKARDSVILLE, Ia. -- Daniel Donovan, 16, of Rt. 2, Durango, was killed last night when the tractor he was driving went out of control on a county gravel road three miles southwest of here and rolled over on him.

Donovan's 15-year-old brother, David, who was riding on the tractor, was thrown clear of the tipped vehicle and suffered only minor bruises.

Dubuque County Deputy Sheriff James Barry said the accident occurred about 9 pm within a quarter-mile of the family home.
