Skeleton Unearthed During Progress
of WOrk-Hatchet Near Body.

Atlanta, April 24.-The skeleton
Of a woma with the skull crushed
in was found during excavation on
Butler street. The body had evil
IDENTIFY not been buried for a very
great period Of time, as pieces Of a
pair of high heeled women's shoes
were also found. The discoveries
dug a little deeper and found a
hatchet buried, which the police be-
lieve must have been the bloody in
strument used in the commission of
the crime.
The circumstances Of the find
make it almost certain that it is a
clue to Some murder mystery or dis
appearance Of the last five or six
years in Atlanta which police have
never fathomed. The secretary of
the chief is busy to-day making an
exhaustive search OF the records COW
ering a period of several years back
to see what UNPUBLISHED crimes this
find could be Enthusiastically con-
nected with. While experts have not
yet passed on the question, it Is be-
lieved from the shape of the skull
that the body Of the woman was
white. The police are by no means
hopeless Of tracing down the mys-
terry.

being the same as the one that gov

there will be no delay this time and
the excursion will arrive at 10 o'clock

was encountered but arrangements
have been made to avoid any trouble

will give the shoppers eight hours in
this city in which to visit the stores
and see Keokuk. Last week a large
number residing along the Rock Is
land line came to Keokuk and many

not permit of sufficient time to trans
act business. but the special service
for next Tuesday gives ample time to
trade, and it is expected that larger
crowd will arrive to complete their
Christmas buying And Christmas
buying in Keokuk this year is made
unusually easy and pleasureable be-
cause of the extensive and valuable
line of merchandise that can be found
in the keokuk stores. The arrange
ment for the special excursion train
was made possible by the Keokuk
Retail Merchants association which
assumed considerable expense in order
to secure this train. The Keokuk
members of the association feel that
they can give the out-of-town shoppers
the best values and best merchandise
and are anxious to get the opportunity
to prove It and this excursion service
affords the opportunity. The special !.
