GLADWIN, Mich. (AP) -- Authorities say a 56-year-old man was killed when his clothing got caught in the tractor he was operating on his northern Michigan property.

The Bay City Times and the Midland Daily News report it happened Saturday in Buckeye Township, about 125 miles north-northwest of Detroit.
