in a new-made grave at Adairs-
vile Thursday night was brought
to Atlanta Friday by Rev. 7. J.
holland, a Methodist preacher.
The baby was buried by its moth
err Immediately after birth and
was only found when its cries
attracted the attention of a par
ty of men passing the cemetery
in the evening about 7 o'clock.
Bessie Campton, the mother of
the babe, an unmarried country
girl about % years old, was ar
rested Thursday night and con-
fessed to the crime. She is un-
der bond charged with assault
with intent to murder. She told
the authorities that the baby
was born in the cemetery close
to the new-made grave and that
she buried it there about eight
O'Clock Thursday morning. She
placed a cloth over its mouth and
face and this kept the dirt out of
the infants nostrils.
Rev. Mr.. holland has children
of his own at home and took the
baby to his wife. The infant
was dressed and he decided to
bring her to the Decatur 0rph-
ans home. He arrived with the

sURPAsS ALL PREVIOUS PER-
FORMANCEs FOR SPEED
IN VILLA CHASE.
OFFICER KEEPS DIARY
Reveals Some of the Hardships
Soldiers Must Overcome in
HiIly Mexico.

With American outposts in Mexico
to Columbus, N. M, April tby aer-
oplane) Cavalry marches surpass-
ing all known previous performances
of mounted troops in Mexico have
been made in the pursuit Of Fran
cisco Villa by some of the flying
avenues of escape of the Mexican
bandit. The diary of a cavalry
officer. obtained today, gives a ro-
mantle sketch of one such march.
Names and dates cannot be publish
ed. The first entry shows the aban-
don with which the Americans threw
themselves into the chase. 1t says:
I'VE arrived with practically moth
ing to eat and no grain for the
horses"
How food was obtained in compar-
alive plenty, for men and horses, is
also a military secret. However,
some of the minor sidelights were
furnished by this officers record.
1.-THE night of March ;" said the
diary, we hiked all night, making
fifty miles, including a fifteen-mile
climb to an altitude of 10000 feet
over a terrific mountain trail. We
made camp at a. m. and in the
evening started over mountain trails
5000 feet high. In a march of ITO
miles from our base we slept three
hours. All the mountain trails were
very bad.
mo sign yet of Villa, and no sign
of beef. We saw one COW. Troops
got two deer. They kept the deer
and did not loan bite to any one
else. Hogs!
Got Some Ducks.
Some of the men obtained rhu-
barb, with which they made a very
good stew. We also got some ducks.

and supplies for us. We were to
take five days rations for men and
horses, but in order to make the
time we wanted, we took only two
days. Spent two days in high alti-
tudes in rain. The weather is other
wise fine. We have been among
pines nearly all of the time, with
canyons and massive, rocky or brill
liant semi-metallic peaks, all about
us. The scenery is most wonderful,
much like Yellowstone, imagine.
Probably Villa could hide here
indefinitely, but he would starve.
Later, march resumed, making
thirty miles to point where we OBJ

eaten his four the host pressed him
to take more. The wife looked dis
tressed and the friend declined. The
husband insisted, the wife looked in
agony, and the guest firmly refused
to have the rest of the oysters
brought from the kitchen.
Later the wife said to her hus-
band:
How could you urge him to have
more oysters when l had explained
to you that there weren't any more?"
I'm very sorry" said the peni-

PERSIANS FEARED
TERRIBLE COSSACKS
FRENCH MINISTER TO PERSIA
TELLS OF NOVEL PHASES
OF WARFARE.

London. March 1.-THE French
Minister at Teheran, Persia, has writ.
ter letter just received in diplomat
ic quarters here which throws a side
light on some of the novel phases CT
warfare at that remote scene of ac-
ton. The Minister has the reputa-
tion of being a wit, and he sees the
humorous as we'll as the serious side
~ the scene about him.
The Persians were greatly exer-
cised when they first heard the Rus
slams were sweeping down from the
North. The terror OF the Cossacks
spread ahead of them, and the people
looked forward to having their
threats cut in general era Of mas
sacre. The coming of the Russians
was awaited with gravest apprehen-
sion.
The first Russians to arrive at Te-
heran was a large party of officers
on their further forward to the front.
They were in fine automobiles. strik-
ingly dressed and well equipped,
They went to the best hotels, spent
money freely, paid in full and lit
tie extra for their elaborate demands.
and then proceeded leaving the peo-
pie to think that the coming of the
Russians might not be so bad for the
dropping finances Of Teheran.
The next Russians were headed by
the Commander-in-chief of the Rus
sian forces operating in that section.
He was typical CoSsack, born on
the steppes north Qtjthe Caspian;
huge man in furs with bearskin
hat. Back of his automobile was a
line of huge auto vans. These vans
excited the wonder and fears of the
populace. as likely, p let loose some
new device Of Russilh terror. The
Commander-in-chief proceeded direct
to the palace of the Shah where an
audience was given amid doubts and
apprehensions.
With the greetings concluded, the
Commander-in-chief ordered the mo-
tor vans to enter the royal court, and
as the Shah looked on he saw the |
vans bringing forth a great assem-
blage of Russian dancers, male and |
female. but chiefly female, in gay
dresses and spangles, and female ac-
robats and snake charmers, all in the |
picturesque garb of the East. These,
the Commander in chief made |
known, were a present to the Persian |
ruler, to be incorporated into the |
royal seraglio. 1t was a novel and |
welcome present. the dancers soon
displayed their charms, and every |
one from the ruler down to the plain |
people were enthusiastic over the |
coming of the Russians.
This good impression at the start |
had much to do with the later devel-
opments, and the diplomatic observ-
ers concluded that the Russians had |
succeeded In renewing some of the |
war amenities of the middle ages. |
when the victorious Generals distrib-
uted presents along their way to dis
sipate fears and assure welcome.
