William Notman, son of Alderman John Notman, 807 Cable street was instantly killed by a train at Joliet yesterday.  The 
body was brought here this morning for burial.
  The funeral, which will be in charge of Court Pride of the 
Woods Foresters of America, of which the deceased was a member, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock; services at the home of the deceaseds father and interment at Moon's cemetery. 
   Mr. Notman had been employed in the steel mills at Joliet for several years.  Yesterday while riding on an excursion train which had come from Aurora and was pulling through the Alton 
yards in the Stone City, he either slipped off or jumped and landed directly in front of a switch engine which was working on an adjoining track.  The locomotive struck him and threw him under the wheels of the train upon which he had been riding a moment before.  He was instantly killed, the body being badly mutilated
  George Hunter, a representative of Court Pride of the Woods, went to Joliet last night and returned to Streator with the 
remains at 11 o'clock today.
  The deceased was 25 years of age and his death is a severe blow to his parents and friends.  The young man took out $1,000 insurance on his life only last week.  As he was unmarried that amount will be paid to the bereaved parents.  The deceased, who was at one time a Free Press carrier, is a brother of Robert Notman, formerly a member of the salaried fire department.
