bulance, running at a high rate of
speed, struck and knocked to the
ground Mrs.. J. B. Northcutt, an elder!)'
woman, at Edgewood avenue and
Peachtree street today shortly after 10
o'clock. The remainder of the trip was
made with the two patients.

Hull, Mrs. Northcutt’s granddaughter,
was with her at the time of the acci

Mrs. Norcutt is visiting her daugh

town to make a few purchases At
the time that the Grady ambulance was

she saw it she caught her mother's
arm and dragged her toward the side
walk. too late, howevei*. Mrs. North

machine and was thrown violently to
the ground.

Human Skeleton Dug
Up by Graders Hints
At Unknown Tragedy
With skull fractured and the body
apparently buried without cither a cof
fin or a box, a skeleton, supposed to be
that of a white man, was unearthed in
front of Tech High school on Marietta
street today by convicts who are grad
ing at that point to widen the street.
Police and county officers believe that

bankment of the school yard when on®
of them shoveled up a human skull. As
they continued to dig the entire skele
ton was found intact. F. <'oilier,

was called to the spot when the negroes
first discovered the bleached bones. He
.took charge of the grewsome find and
notified police and county officers.
Close examination of the bones indi
cated they were those of a white man.
The skeleton will be turned over to
Captain T. J. Donaldson, superintend
ent of the Fulton count) ehaingang.

are trying io recall any disappearance
mystery that could be connected with

Commission Head Urges Plow
ing Land With Salt, But
Scheme Is Opposed.
So many Witches and ghosts flit and
moan about and generally flaunt Spring
vale park that T. L. Bond, of tbe Atlanta
park commission, has today seriously
advised his colleagues to drain the lake,
plow up that stretch of land and sow
it wit'n s ilt to drive away the evil spir
its, while W. 1.. Percy and J. H. Por
ter head petitioners who want the lake
made ov r into a sunken garden.
Perhaps the board will adopt Mr.
Bond's suggestion. Anyway, its mem
bers .Hi investigating his emphatic
claim that hobgoblins can't abide a
salted Jicld and if their probe shows
that ghosts do really cavort o' nights
about that park, as many folk there
abouts avow, nobody need wonder at
se®ing a plowman plodding his way
through ony of the fairest strips of
■ land in all Atlanta, nor marvel if, sud
denly, the saline trust increases its
prices.
I p to that time some years ago when
a very good looking young woman hung
herself to a tree that overhung jts mir
roring lake Springvale park was one
of the most loved recreation spots in
Georgia. Nestling in the heart of In
man Park, it smiled up at the lording
terraces at its sidesand flowers laughed
■ out from' the grass that mantled its
bosont. Down in the vale, a clear, cool
iakeie.t rippled in the sunbeams between
, the weeping willows that’ fringe its
. bunks, and it was al! so beautiful that
bevies of little children played there all
day along with .squirrels and the birds
of many brilliant hues.
Girl’s Suicide
Brought, Goblins
By daylight Springvale park seemed
veritably the haunt of all the good
fairies Then the girl came there, de
spondent. and killed herself above the
lake, and after her came the ghosts and
ghouls.
It is still quite well remembered that
she was a poor girl w ho had journeyed
' to Atlanta from some outlying town in
a desperate hope that she would find
work here and a chance to earn the
honorable living that 'he craved. She
found no work, and after many days
when the last of her money was gone
she made hJr waV one evening to the
' dark pond of water in the heart of
, Springvale and took the life that she
! thought hopeless.
Next day. when they found her
■ swinging from the tree limb, quite dead.
1 frightened children who hov-red fear-
■ fully about tried out that they saw
her phantom floating in the lakelet be
neath th® tree* Os course, that was the
■ shadow of th® girl's body cast upon the
' water, hut it was terrible enough for
1 littb ones, and for weeks after that no
, ■ Iv'dren went to play in the park.
