A man from Bard was killed Monday morning in a tractor accident. Daniel C. Taylor, 54, was killed when a large wooden beam he was trying to move became unbalanced and pinned him between the beam and a tractor, said Quay County Deputy Shane Strand. Taylor was pronounced dead at 10:35 a.m. at the scene, Strand said. Taylor had only lived in the area for about a year and a half, Strand said. Taylor had purchased an old hog farm at Bard and was in the process of fixing up the place, Strand said.
