The Sorrowful Condition of E. H. Lehmann

Abendpost, April 14th, 1890

Sometime ago we were informed that Mr. E. H. Lehmann, millionaire and well known owner of "The Fair", the gigantic department store, was gradually losing his mind. A telegram we received today, from Little Rock, Arkansas, fully confirms this. He is amaniac. While the train stopped at the depot, Mr. Lehmann escaped from his attendants; he was recaptured with considerable difficulty and returned to the train.

His condition has been diagnosed as paresis, (softening of the brain) Apparently, there is no hope for a cure.
