BRIDE OF TWO DAYS KILLED AT CLAYSBURG
Terribly Mutilated Body of Mrs. Mary Kutarich Found on Railroad - 
Believed to Have Been Trespasser

  The terribly mutilated body of Mrs. Mary Kutarich, aged 17, of 
Claysburg, a bride of two days, was found along the Pennsy tracks at 
that place, at 6 o'clock Monday night, she having been struck by the 
Altoona bound passenger train, that passes that point shortly after 
5.30 o'clock.  The body was found by the crew of a freight, moving in 
the opposite direction.
  Deputy Coroner Chester C. Rothrock, who conducted an investigation, 
has decided that no inquest will be necessary, as the woman evidently 
was walking on the tracks, the body being found midway between two 
crossings, and it is believed that she was trespassing on the railroad 
property.
  Mrs. Kutarich was married on Saturday evening, to Paul Kutarich, of 
Claysburg, and they intended residing there, her husband being employed 
in the brick works.  Just what caused her to be on the railroad, could 
not be learned, as she was far from her home at the time of the 
accident.
  The body was mutilated almost beyond recognition, the head being 
crushed, torso severed, right arm cut off, left leg broken and both 
feet terribly crushed.
