STRUCK BY TRAIN; INJURY SERIOUS
Alfred Manheimer, Cigar Manufacturer, Injured While at Menominee
Alfred Manheimer, of this city, was the victim of a railway accident at Menominee,
this state, Thursday night and is at the hospital in that city as the result of
injuries, said to be serious. News of the accident reached here in a dispatch
summoning Mrs. Manheimer to Menominee to attend her husband and she departed
Thursday night. If it is possible, Mr. Manheimer will be brought to his home in
this city.
Little is known here of the details of the accident further than that Mr. Manheimer
was rundown by an engine on the C & NW Company track at Menominee. He was walking
on the track on his way to the station and being somewhat deaf, failed to hear the
approach of the train. One report is that he was struck by a freight train, several
cars of which passed over his body and that his injuries may prove fatal, but this
is not confirmed.
Mr. Manheimer is a cigar manufacturer and has been engaged in business in this city
for many years. He travels extensively, selling his own goods and is absent from the
city much of the time. He is about 55 years of age and resides at 636 N. Fifth Street,
his place of business being on Chicago Street.

MAY LOSE ONE FOOT
Alfred Manheimer May Be Crippled by Recent Accident
Loss of one foot may be the outcome of the accident of which Alfred Manheimer, the
Manitowoc cigar manufacturer was the victim at Menominee on Thursday night, the foot
being so badly crushed at the ankle that there is fear that it cannot be saved. Mrs.
Manheimer, who was called to Menominee, has returned and was told that her husband
could not be moved for some time, probably four or five weeks. In addition to the
crushed foot, Manheimer had two ribs broken and his face badly bruised. Mrs. Manheimer
was unable to learn the details of the accident, there being several reports as to the
manner in which it happened. It is believed however, that Mr. Manheimer slipped while
walking at the side of the track when he attempted to get out of the way of the train.
His condition is as encouraging as could be hoped for.
