Ground to Death by the Cars.
Manchester, March 16.— Henry Pollnick, aged 26 years, a resident of Chicago, was horribly mutilated Friday afternoon by an Illinois Central freight train between this city and Delaware. He failed in an attempt to board the train while it was running at a high rate of speed and fell beneath the wheels. He was almost ground to pieces. His head, both arms and both legs were severed from the trunk and the body was also badly cut up.
