William Griffin, an employe of the Ft.

took walk out to the washout which oc-
Cured east of this city Tuesday night. On
bis way back near the East Bridge on the
railroad lie tripped over some object and
fell hcadiong TO the ground. When he
arose he was horrlied to find the dead
body OF a man lying upon the pathway.
The body was lying, race downward, partly
bent, to the ground. He cxomiued
The corpse and found that tn EFF
arm was crushed, lne hand and
fingers cut off and the right
foot severed at the ankle. Tho face Of
the dead man was besmeared WiIh blood.
and therefore almost unrecognizable.
Moving the body TO one side, he quickly
came to the Cauton depot aud reported
the Ghastiy find. The coroner was tels-
phonsd for, but a previous call had sent
him 10 MaBEllOD, and accompanied by
Ohicer Becherer and several other OF the
railroad employees, the yard sh'fter was
dispatched To the scene of the accident.
The track for some distance was coy-
cred with blood. The man evidently had
Geen struck by a passing east freight
about o'clock and his body thrown aside
by the co catcher, The three fingers OF
the left hand lay along the rail, Parts of
the hand and right foot were picked up
several feet away. A stretcher was sup
piled and the man placed thereon and
brought to the freight depot. On the fore
head in it's entire width appeared cut
and just on the front top portion of his
head was a large deep cut as though
made by falling on. sharp iron.
At the depot the remains were recog-
nized as those OF John Lehman, and forth.
with his family was notified by the officer.
The remains were taken to McCrea's
undertaking establishment.
Wallace Sell, residing at Fourth and
Plum streets stated last night that he was
with Lehman during the greater part of
yesterday and that they had indulged in
number OF drinks, He said Lehman left
him about 80 last night on the Ft. Wayne
track at East Tuscarawas street and
started east, apparently for his home.
he seemed to stagger some, but was not
totally bereft of his senses. That was
the last seen of him alive. As no passen-
ger train leaves at the hour prior to the
finding of Lebmsn's body, Ii is believed
that owing 10 his intoxicated condition he
failed to hear the oncominR train aud in
this manner was killed.
He was a man of about SO years of age
and has been married several years.

Two Other men Have Marrow Escape
The presentiment of death by beinq
overcome by poisonous gases, Is o horrible
one in the extreme. humorous cases oI
this kind have occurred of late years. The
one which overlook Sippo man last
nlRht was none the less Rruesome and
awful in its end.
Jacob Mohler Is married d man of about
"A years residing at Sippo, this county,
about four miles north of Massillon. For
many years he has engaged in farming
and was considered one of its most thrifty
promulgators. On the place near by the
residence 10 well containing some few
inches of water. The pipe conveying the
water to the surface was punctured at a
place several feet down. The poisonous
gases formed in the we'll entered this
puncture and made the water almost
unht to drink. Last night Mohler entered
the mouth OF the well intending to descend
where the leak occurred and remedy IL in
some way.
He had gone down only about six feet
when the heavy poisonous gas overcame
him and rendered him insensible and
causing him to fall to the bottom ne
eighteen feet below. II is said th in
some way he had called out for help
when he was first conscious Of his
peril, and hired man named
Raymond Lachet, who was working few
feet away, heard the words of warning,
Lachet responded, aud in a short time
secured more help and allowed himself
TO be let down into the well by means of a
rope. He reached the bottom, but the gas
was too strong for him and he fell pros
trate over the body of Mohler, lying at the
bottom.
In few minutes more man named
Jonn GroH also was let down into the
well with rope. He unfasteued il and
quickly tied II about the body of Lachet
ana that man was drawn to the surface
Quickly the life line WAS let down and
Mohler's body, still warm but lifeless, was
pulled up, and then Croft was extricated
from his dangerous position. When Lachet
was drawn TO the surface life was almost
extinct, but after half an hour of rubbing
and rolling about he was resuscitated'
Mohler was beyond human assistance,
and his pale, deathly face, upturned as il
lay upon the ground, told only too we'll the
story.
When Croft was released after having
Deen in the well a few minutes, he grew
rant he had almost succumbed to the
gas,
Mohler's body was carried into the
mousse hnd Coroner Openhimer, who was
then "a. Massillon, was called. That Off
clhl viewed the remains and examined
We witness, Croft, VINO told the story rs
above recited.
10 illustrate the volume of gas in the
well a lighted lantern was left hanging ia
10 only two feet from the surface, but il
was eGtinguished. Mohler leaves a wife
and urge host OF friends.
