Atlanta Constitution. a new invention
has Just been brought to light by one Of
Auanta's clever inventors. John Teel. who
has just returned from Washington with
papers for a device which combines the
features OF security and support for bicy-
cles. This small article, the simplicity
and real worth Of which is Immediately
apparent. succeeds in securely locking
ana supporting the wheel to which il Is
attached. 1t is very light. and is
easy attached to the frame and abso-
lutely prevents the tipping Of the wheel
or the riding of 1t by unauthorized per-
sons. The article can be made with very
little expense and the weight of IL is not
noticeable. 1t is constructed so as to be
quickly clamped to the frame. When the
rider dismounts 1t is taken off, attached to
the tire, lowered to the level and thus
holds the wheel upright and locked.
PIE locking device and returned to its
place on the frame. 1t is not large ar
Ilcle, is not noticed when in position on
the frame, and the time consumed in TAX
ing on and adjusting to tho tire Is inflnl-
tesimal.
special from Rome to the Macon Tel
egraph says Evidences OF a mysteri-
Gus death, possibly a murder have been
discovered near Hurricane creek church.
IN the montains above here. resident
OF that community was out hunting ana
discovered the dismembered skeleton of
a man in a grave near the church. The
remains bore evidence of having been there
several days previous to the find The
clothing was torn to shreds and the bones
Were nearly denuded OF flesh, leaving moth
ing to indicate whom the unknown might
have been. An old-fashioned squirrel rifle
a pocket knife and purse were found near
the spot where the bones lay scattered
and about the foot Of tree the ground
was trampled. If a horse had been tied
there. There We're corn cobs scattered
about, as though the horse had been
fed, but IL was impossible TO determine
whether they had been thrown there by
some camping party prior to the death
OF the stranger or not. There were no
papers or anything else in the purse which
could possibly furnish a clew to the iden-
atty OF the dead man, and none of the
people who gathered about the spot could
place the rife or knife as having belonged
TO any one in that section. The bones
were GalutItQ up ana Dukieu IN the Old
burying groupdnear the church. The peO-
pie are still very much exercised over the
strange discovery. No one is missing
from the community. Some think il
was a prospector. who was roaming
around among the mountains as they
frequently do, and that ne became III and
died before he could recover sufficiently

of the horse around the trees are those of
an animal ridden by the dead man, it
IS believed that il succeeded in breaking
loose and started back to the place whence
It was ridden. perhaps at some point in
Alabama or Tennessee. There were no
marks Of a violent death on the skull or
any of the bones and the articles found
Indicate that there was no motive in rob-
berry. The death is wrapped in mystery.
