----------------------------------------------------------------
New Paris, O., June 3 - Michael Marriman met with a horrible death Saturday night while walking down the railroad track, between the depot and Walnut street crossing.
He had been at Richmond and came home on the 11:30 car and had started to walk down the track to his home. When he had reached the vicinity of the cemetery, he was struck by an east-bound freight train which dragged him for a distance of several feet. The body was badly mutilated, both legs having been severed.
Mr. Marriman's body was not found until another east-bound freight on the Indianapolis division stopped here shortly after one o'clock and discovered it. The train crew then summoned Agent Nelson, who after securing witnesses, sent for Undertaker Sawyers, who had the body removed to his office. The remains were taken to the home of Mr. Marriman's father, west of the railroad, Sunday. The funeral was held this afternoon at St. John's Catholic church. Mr. Marriman is survived by his mother, father, three brothers and two sisters.
