Twin Falls Daily News  June 15  1923 June 15, 1923
 In a attempt to stop a runaway team hitched to a loaded hayrack, on his farm, 
about two miles south of Filer on the pole line, Charles O. Krohn, aged about 
50, pioneer Twin falls county resident, received injuries about 6 o'clock 
Thursday evening which resulted in his almost instantaneous death.
 Krohn had just came in from the field, unhitched his team and was talking to 
a neighbor, Mr. Bennett, when a team which had just been hitched to the 
hayrack by a young farm hand, jumped, throwing the boy under the wagon, Krohn 
according to witnesses, ran towards the run away  and was struck by the front 
end of the rack and thrown under the wheels. He received the blow on the back 
of the head and his leggs were bruised and his clothing torn. Friends rushed 
to him but he died in a few moments. The boy who was driving the team was 
uninjured.
 No inquest will be held. Deputy Coroner Glenn Sturdevan said Thursday evening.
 Krohn is survived by his wife, a son about two years old, two brothers in 
Spokane, and a sister in Nebraska. He first came to Twin Falls about 16 years 
ago, being engaged at his trade as a plasterer for a short time. About 14 
years ago he moved to the farm near Filer and remained there since that time.
