Gle racer, received injuries which ply
sicians believe will prove fatal when

molished the motorcycle which he was
riding. The rider was knocked unCOn-
scious. For four hours he was ira
tional raving about various parts Of
his machine, ordering an imaginary
person to open the clutch, and swear
ing at the hospital attendants.

tai and given immediate attention by
Dr. Fred 5. Clinton. The extent of his
injuries were not fully asCertainCd.

midnight last night but ne had lapsed
into a restless coma, according to hos
pital officials
Carclessncss on the part Of work
man who were repairing the track
is given as the cause Of the accident.
Bryant had Circled the track several
times previous to that i'm which tho
accident occurred. While he was on
the opposite side of the circular track

Of dust as to hide completely the view
of the grader into which Bryant
crashed.

ATLANTA, May 2S.-Leo NJ. Frank,

ley, a negro, who is serving twelve
months imprisonment as an accessory
to the crime. were subpoenaed today
as witnesses in the $4,000 damage

The trial of the suit will not begin

Courthouse Notes
DEFAULT JUDGMENT
is WON BY HOPPING
Suit to Recover Property
Valued at 100000 Turned
to Plaintiffs.

Default judgment in favor Of the
defendants was awarded by Judge
Conn Linn in the district court yes
terday in the case OF NJ. II. Gun
against j. 5. Hopping and Cora r..
Cohlintz
Gull was suing for the recovery OF
money and property which he valued
at 500 600 and which he claimed to
have been defrauded out of.
At the time the suit was filed last
year it attracted much attention and
was given space in sensational news
papers.
The plaintiff did not appear in court
when the case was called yesterday
and Judge Linn assessed all the costs
against him.
Some time since John y. Wakely,
who filed the suit for Gun withdrew
from the case and later secured judg-
ment N the sum of 81 200 against Gull
for attorneys fees
1t was apparently another of those
litigatiOns not fourGed on legal facts
and which cause so much unnecessary
trouble for persons who happen to ac-
quire money or property through legit-
innate channels.
The property involved in the suit
consisted of oil holdings.

INDIANS HAD AN EDEN STORY
Creation as Told by Brazilian Tribe
Resembles Biblical Tale.

An account of the Creation. as re-
lated by members of the tribe of In
dians living in the mountains which
divide Brazil from British Guinea,
has been received at the University of
Pennsylvania from DIR. William C.
Farabee, leader of the Amazon expe-
dition of the university museum. The
tribe never before had seen a white
man, according to Doctor Farabee,
and had been cut off from the rest of
the world for many centuries.
In the account told by them to the
explorer ii was related that a great
tree bearing on its branches all kinds
of fruits and vegetables had been in
existence.
The legend of the tree is that in
the beginning there were two gods,
Tuminkar and his brother, Duwi1.
Tuminkar created man and woman
and afterward the lower animals,
and Duwid brought men and women
food from the tree. The people later
learned the location of the tree and
told Duwid that he need not trouble
himself to bring them food any more
Duwid then told the people that it
should be as they wished, but that
they would thereafter have to work
for their food and warned them that
if they would not starve they should
break off the branches and plant
them, that they would grow and bear
fruit. The legend goes on that the
men started to do as the god said, but
soon tired, so that when the tree was
cut down only few of the many va
rieties of food which 1t bore had been
saved for mankind.
A great rock said by the Indians

was pointed out to the explorers, who
made photographs of II. These pho
tographs were received here with the
story.

A Curious BIRD of THOUSAND WINGS

would be interesting to know how the
bitterness of strife has Influenced his
opinion at this time when. on either
side nothing is too rancorous and
bitter to say. Blu. warning nations

work ana reflects no little credit on
the German artist, living In Baltimore
at the time. who shaped it.
The designers medium was locust
wings, and you may imagine the
erect when the sunlight played upon
the symmetrically shaped collection
The artist took stiff piece Of card
board and glued the insect wings to
1t in the required shape. The form
of the bird was three feet in length
from tip to tip of the wings. and it
stood more than two feet from taiens
TO the top OF the wing. The wings of
a thousand locusts were necessary
for the completion of the work.
And here is where the painstaising
patience comes in-the artist caught
every one of the insects himself!
