mystery Of the Black Cow.

IA particularly ingenious example
of the methods employed by German
scouts in France for communicating
information to their troops has beer
reported from France. 1t appears
that the German intelligence depart

gypsies, who have code Of signs thai
they write on walls and fences az
they pass along, for the information
of other members of their clan.
A favorite sign with the Germans
has been black COW. That animal
roughly sketched in black crayon OF
walls, gates and fences, was frequent

ed. and was so crudely drawn that al
Z first it aroused no-suspicion. Some
times it was small, sometimes large

en- the horns were ridiculously long IN
comparison with the rest of the ami
NAL. But it was not a case OF Dan

tered were the size and the direction
in which it faced. The French officers
discovered the secret of this system
of signals. 70
A little COW signified that the roac
was only weakly defended, moderate
sized COW meant that the allied troops
were in the neighborhood, large
COW was a warning that there was
earthworks or trenches nearby. inc

They are Heber Springs, Ell Dorado, Hope, Jonesboro, Marvell, Warren, Piggott, Biytheville, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Magazine, Russellville and Ola. The company at Heber Springs has been reorganized since the presidents call was issued. The company at Texarkana has been or ganized since the call, and is expected to move in a few days. The com panies at Little Rock, Harrison, Ar kadelphia and Dermott will move to- day to the mobilization camp. The companies have an average of 70 men each. Recruiting is being pushed everywhere through the state, and it is hoped that by the last of this week the two regiments will be ready to be mustered into service.
 Capt. Gordon Armitage of the Har- rison company telephoned headquar- ters tonight that he had 67 men ac- cepted, and that he would entrain his company at noon tomorrow. He had been assisted in the recruiting by Lieut-Col. Fred Greene, who returned home from Little Rock last week. Al first it had been thought it would be necessary to combine the company with body of recruits from Siloan Springs.
 The camp at Fort Roots is scene of great activity. Great crowds visit the camp. The men are drilling ane engaged in routine camp duty so tha1 their time does not hang heavily upor their hands.

Bill Johnson, One Year Man, Discovered by Posse and
 Is Badly Wounded.
OTHERS SUCCEED
 IN EVADING CAPTURE
Officials and Citizens from Cities, Towns and Countryside Join in Effort to Capture Eighteen Men
 Who Left Tucker Convict Farm.

Bill Johnson, white convict, one of the eighteen who escaped from the state convict farm at Tucker about midnight Sunday, was shot dozen or more times late last night near Humphrey, by a posse of residents of that section, and may die of his in juries.
 Johnson was the only one of the escaped convicts to be captured, al though the trail of several others was followed during the day by one or am other of several posses which started out after the convicts early yester- day. Most of the convicts moved north from Tucker, according to per. son who saw them, and the discovery of Johnson in the neighborhood ol Humphrey last night was surprise as it demonstrated that the convicts had scattered more widely than had been anticipated.
 Authorities at the penitentiary al Little Rock last night stated that Johnson was sent up from Bentor county for a one-year term, for grand
 
 his third term in the penitentiary. Ht is about 31 years of age. It was stat ed also that if Johnson's condition will permit, he will be returned tt the Tucker farm this morning. COnvicts Move North. Reports reached the penitentiary of fcials early Monday that a big batcl of conyicts had been seen moving to ward England about daylight, ans later reports indicated the convict were making efforts to reach the vi cinity of Little Rock, there doubtless to catch trains that would carr. them further away from their pursu CTS.

Captain Mercy Tells the Story of the Fight at aCr-
 rizal Against Odds.
BOYD AND ADAIR
 PROVED HEROES
Not Until Ammunition Was Exhausted Was Little Handful of BOyd's Skir. mishers Cut to Pieces by the
 TreacherOus Mexicans.

Field Headquarters in Mexico, by Wireless to Columbus, N. M., June 26.-The American negro troopers at Carrizal. faced almost certain death with smiles on their lips, and they burst into song once or twice as they fought their grim fight against great odds.
 This was the story told by Capt. Lewis Mercy when he arrived here toda--.
 "For 45 minutes the men fought, joking among themselves all the while, even though they realized they were being trapped, and had little chance of getting out alive"
 Captain Mercy said he had never seen such valor as was displayed by Capt. Charles Boyd, who, with hand full of dismounted skirmishers, charged through the machine gun fire of the Mexicans and into the ambush of death. He added that it was not until their ammunition was exhausted that the troop was finally cut to pieces, and he told of the heroic death of Lieut. Henry Adair of Portland, Ore. in an attempt to replenish it.
 Lieutenant Adair died fighting, his last word being GO on sergeant" to noncommission officer at his side, Captain Mercy said.
 The two were on their way to the pack of mules carrying the supply of ammunition when they were inter- cepted near small irrigation ditch by detail of Mexicans. Lieutenent Adair had already been wounded, and had lost his pistol, but had borrowed another and was fighting a hand-to- hand battle when he was killed. He fell unconscious, and was caught by the negro sergeant as he slid toward the ditch, which was deeply filled with water. The sergeant held Adair in his arms with his face above water until he died, the wounding officer reviving only long enough to whisper orders to leave him and finish the mission.
 Captain Mercy said that Captain Boyd warned the men before the fight that they were sntering grave danger.
 He reiterated that Car-anza soldiers opened lire first from their machine gun trench, and asserted that almos1 immediately detachment of Msxl cans circled to the rear, and drove off numbers of the horses which { few men had been left to hold. whils the cavalry dismounted in line O l skirmish @ Captain Mercy was brought hsre b, a troop of the Eleventh cavalry sen to rescue the Carlizal survivors after leading the starving, pantini troops 40 miles over sun-beatei desert to relief.
