DOG LEADS TO CHILD.
Tugs at Mothers Apron Until She
Understands What Is Wanted.

Harrison, Ark.-If Mack, the Eng
lish setter belonging to the family of
Jim Jones, one mile west of town, did
not save the Jones baby from injury
he at least eased the little fellows
fear from being lost when he sum-
moned help. The baby strayed from
the Jones home to the main road Il
quarter OF a mile away and succeeded
In losing himself in the underbrush
and weeds. His cries did not attract
any one, but they worried the dog. and
he scampered to the house.
When Mack scratched on the door
and Mrs. Jones opened it the dog
seized her apron and tried to make her
follow him toward the road. He re
peated his effort before Mrs. Jones
guessed what was wanted. When she
started, Mack ran before her to where
the child was hidden in the weeds.

OFFICIALS SECURING FACTS
Washington Will Soon Know All
About Benton's Execution.


Washington, Feb. 23.-Secretary
Bryan received word from Consul Ed
wards at JuareZ that Gustav Bauch.
the German-American rumored to
have been executed by General Villa,
is alive and has been removed to Chi
huahua, where American Consul
Letcher has been instructed to inter-
cede for him.
1t Is understood that Sir Cicfl
Spring Rice. the British ambassador,
has expressed to the British foreign
Office his pleasure at the promptness
with which the American government
has acted in seeking to ferret the
truth about the killing of William S.
Benton, a British subject.
Full details of the execution are
not yet In the hands of the state de-
partment officials, but they are being
gathered rapidly. Ii is generally ad-
mitted that the case hinges largely
on whether Benton went to General
Villas headquarters armed.
Upon the truth or falsity of Villas
statement that Benton tried to kill
him will depend the view which both
Great Britain and the United States
will take of the affair.
