Theodore Dobbeck met with a horrible death in the Northwestern railroad yards.
Standing on one end of a moving box car he lost his balance and fell head foremost between the cars.
Before his lifeless body was fiually picked up some fifty or sixty feet down the track enough wounds were inflicted to cause death, had not his neck been broken by the fall.
The remains were taken to Behrens undertaking shop, where in the absence of the coroner, Sheriff Canfield took charge of the remains.
Dobbeck was an assistant foreman of the supply department for the Northwestern here.
He was a gentlemanly young fellow of about twenty five or six years, and was well liked by all who knew him.
The body has been shipped to Ableman, Wisconsin for internment.
His parents live at that place.
