of the peninsula. The Indians themselves bad a legend of a tribe of red heads, known in their own language as 'Rabbit Men,” resid-
ing along the Texas coast. B. ' that as it may, the Florida
remains appear the oldest found so far in the western hemisphere, and a discovery by workers of the Civilian Conservation corps in the Ocala National Forest, a few miles ast of Silver Springs, sheds new ight upon the family life ofthis
ecple of (he dawn.
An ancient tragedy involving an .merican aboriginal group or famly lias been disclosed in a burial hamber, estimated to he more .ban 2000 years old, discovered recently by C. C. C. workers in the Ocala National Forest near Silver
Springs.
Two skulls, intact, together with ether skeletal remains were removed from ths burial chamber before the shell hank into which the men were tunneling caved in and halted further excavating. One of the skulls is that of an aged man who was killed by a blow upon the head. The other is the skull of a comparatively young woman, six feet tall. That*is all that is known ofthis couple of I early Americans who antedated by j many centuries the Indians inhab-; iting this country upon discovery ! of America. Who they were and ; low they lived remains sealed in; the mysteries of ages past. They were identical with the so- ! called Florida Colossus, although : the latter seem to have been only j slightly taller than average height ! but of more massive bone structure 1 than any known or existing races. | The worn condition of the teeth 1 show that the man was of ad- j vanced age .when he met death. ! rT ' at he died of a skull fracture is ! need by the outward bulge of j > bone. If the skull had heen oken after death, the fracture I would have heen concave. The ; almost perfect state of the woman’s ! Teeth indicate that she died in j youth. Her skull is of a much high- | er type than the man's, having a 1 smooth and foty forehead as com-1 pared to the low and beetling brow | of the man. With exception of three missing \ front teeth, her teeth are in an ex- | cellent state of preservation. Two of the missing teeth appear from j he root cavities to have been lost | hue the subject was still alive bile the third one seems to nave ! een broken off later. What is the significance of the [ missing front teeth? Did they de- i note the domestic status of wife j or slave and were they knocked j out by the old man with whom she j was buried as a mark of servitude ! to consummate her marriage or : subjection to him? The higher | type of the female skull points to ! a racial distinction! between the j pair which finds plausible explanation in the theory that the woman j was a captive wife from another j tribe. In the latter case, the worn-1 an may have been slain or buried alive with her husband upon his ! death in battle or on combat with ' a private enemy—a custom still in practice in some quarters ot the
globe.
C. C. C. boys who discovered the I ancient tomb said that a third and i somewhat larger skull was destroy- j ed by one of their m mber upon :
