    Topeka company agrees to OSHA fines in death of co-owner
    Also in March, OSHA imposed $15,000 fines against Minneapolis-based Cargill for alleged violations of federal regulations linked to the death. Judy Freeman, director of OSHA's Wichita office, said Cargill contested the fine and the case remains open.

    The accident happened Sept. 23, when Bailey and others were cleaning the bottom of an elevator bin that became clogged with grain.

    A relative working with Bailey said Bailey put on a safety harness, which was tied to a rope. Bailey went inside the elevator to try to dislodge the clog and was buried beneath a mountain of soybeans.
