Two Pennsy employees, Max F. A. Schroeder of this city, and John Herzog of Tyrone, this morning underwent operations at the Altoona hospital for the removal of limbs following injuries sustained in the service of the corporation. Schroeder, a brakeman, aged 38, who resides at 115 Walnut avenue, rear, was the first to suffer an amputation of his right leg, which was badly crushed this morning at 3:43 o'clock when he fell under his train at East Altoona. Yard engine No. 291 was shifting a draft of five cars on the ladder track at GD office and was about to open the knuckle on one of the couplings when he was thrown underneath the wheels. Only one truck ran over his right leg. He was rushed to the Altoona hospital, where he was found that it would be necessary to remove the lower portion of the limb. His leg was amputated just below the knee, the operation being performed at 4:20 o'clock. John Herzog, injured in an accident on the railroad last fall, and who has been confined to the hospital for the past several months, submitted to the amputation of his left leg just below the knee at 11 o'clock this morning. --------------------------- FOOT CAUGHT BY TABLES Pennsy Workmen Treated at Altoona Hospital for Minor Injuries.
