ALVIN LINDSTEDT

From Der Nord Westen, 28 Mar. 1903: (Saturday dateline)
A terrible accident on the local street railway took a man’s life last evening.
Shortly after 7 p.m. a heavily crowded car of the railway arrived here from Two
Rivers. Among the passengers was Alvin Lindstedt, well-known insurance agent.
As the car reached the corner of Buffalo and 8th Streets, but had not yet reached
a full stop, Mr. Lindstedt jumped from the moving car and fell under the wheel.
Both legs were terribly mutilated. The wounded man was promptly taken to the
hospital by ambulance and doctors summoned. Despite the medical attention the
unfortunate man died at 1 a.m. Alvin Lindstedt was 26 yrs. old and had just been
married a few years ago. He leaves a widow and 2 children.

From Der Nord Westen, 02 Apr. 1903:
A coroner’s jury heard witnesses in a hearing concerning the terrible death of Alvin
Lindstedt which we reported in our Sat. issue, and found that the deceased was at
fault and that the employees of the street railway were not at fault.
