Death of an Augusta Boy
A shadow has been cast over the
usual joviality of camp life by the
reported death of two of the militia
men, Corporal Owen C. Baxter of Au
gusta, a member of Company A, First
Regiment (Captain \V. A. Woodson,
commanding!, and Private B. J. Wil
liams of Savannah, Company I, First
Regiment (Oglethorpe Right I nfan
try).
Corporal Baxter’s death resulted from
a fever contracted several days ago.
He has been ill during the entire time
of the camp, having been forced to re
main in the field hospital since Wed
nesday, on which day he was over
come with the heat. His death was
rather unexpected as it was not
thought that he was so seriously ill.
Corporal Baxter has been a member
of the militia for four years and* has
attended every encampment of the
National Guards since he has been a
member of the organization. In civil
ian life, he was an operative at the
Sibley Mill. He is survived by h!s
mother. Mrs. William Baxter, who re
sides at 1736 Hicks street, and one
brother, George Baxter, \yho Is living
In Galveston at the present time. The
Interment will take place from Christ
church, of which Mr. Baxter was a
member.
Private Ben Williams was taken to
the hospital Thursday evening, heat
exhaustion being the reported oaus“
of his illness. Complications set In
which resulted in death this morning.
The body will be taken to Savannah
today for burial. He was a member
of Co. O.

The previous advance having
brought the attacking rarty to a point

tHe problem jlesterday consisted in
approaching the enemy by stealth til!
a point was reached where he could
be charged. The men cut through un
derbrush, waded streams and crawled
through swamps for a distance of
nearly 800 yards, being protected by
the fire of details posted on elevations.
The platoon commanded by Captain
George Haines broke through the un
derbrush 800 yards from the enemy’s
station and opened fire. The other
platoons Arne within effective range
almost immediately. The entire time
consumed by the advance was sllght

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
Baseball is the Biggest Thing
in Camp For Savannah Companies
Just Now; One Game on for Today
The Line-Ups of the Teams—Hospital Corps of the First
Brigade Had Their First Drill Yesterday—Drilled About
Two Hours.
(By S, J. ORR, Savannah Press.)
The biggest thing in the camp for
the Savannah companies just now is
the baseball games which are sched
uled to be played before they leave.
Saturday they take on the Governor’s
Horse Guards, or what is known as
Troop L-. This company, though they
did not come to camp prepared to
play ball, say they will put up a good
fight and fully expect to lick the Sa
vannah company. The latter are equal
ly confident and are ready to back
their opinions with real money.
The line-up follows:
Hussars —Baehe, c.; Claghoen, p.;
Jackson. Ist.; PI. Kelly, 2nd; Hender
son, 3d; Dana, ss.; G. Tyson, If.;
Gause, cf.; Sauls, rs.
This is the team with which they
expect to play andl beat the team of
the first infantry Monday. They are
open to the challenge of any team
from any of th e other regiments in
camp and will promise to put up a stiff
fight. The Horse Guards may be as
follows, but they have not definitely
decided their line-up:
No Colonel in Better Spirits
Over Condition oi His Men Than
Col. Orville Hall, ot Fifth Georgia
Boys of Atlanta Have Made a Very Favora ile Beginning
Minstrel to Be Put on During Week By Company H.
(By M. T- Bryson, Private, Fifth
Regiment.)
Tha boys of the Fifth Georgia are
on the job here, at Camp Wheeler,
from the word go. No reg ment in
camp has made a more .avorable be
ginning and no colonel is in better
spirits over the conlition of his men,
than is Col. Orville H. Hall.
And the cause for the situation
does not have to be sought in some
remote circumstances.
Over at Colonel Hall’s headquarters
the colonel is continuously planning
for the welfare of his men —he and
h s entire staff. No showers have as
vet been placed near these men for
their special use, whereas the other
men of the regiment have been un
loving these for a couple of days.
The fact is, that these commanders
are placing theii owl conveniences
second to that of the men under
them. They realize that the fellows
must be bom ortable, and that con
ditions must be hygienic if the best
results are to be obtained.
An amusing incident occurred up
at the guard tents Thursday night.
Two of the best of iriends involved
in a quarrel and for the time were
placed in the guard tent as punish
ment. At first they were confined in
the main guard tent, but once in
there they proceeded Hi settle the
matter at issue. It wlft necessary
for three other men to put an end to
the affair, and put the-lfjp in two
tents apart. It is.ttSld -on the boys
that they stayed \waketaH during
the night, at times rniljig out on
each other as being resronsible for
the confinement, again to
the old time companionable verbal
Itercourse. although yards

About noon Friday the ffritire camp
was invaded by the Boys’ Home Club

The hospital corps of the First
Georgia had their first drill yester
day morning and were put through
some hard tactics. They found out
that the men of this corps ar© very
important in battle and that each man
is expected s o have some of the first
rudiments of first aid to the injured
so they may be able to help out any
men they might find on the field.
Captain Adams assisted today the
drill given by Sergeant Blocker of the
regulars. The men drilled about two
hours and were put to the test several
times during the course of the instruc
tion.

panies are very high in their praise

only objection they have is that the

Company H, of tha Fifth Georgia,
under command of Gapta n J. VV
Quillian, is arranging for a minstrel
to be put on at some Augusta theater
next Tuesday night. Only a small
amount of talent outside the com
pany will be used. The show Is at

count of the complex.on of the men
taking part. It will include one of
the best quartetts to be had, compos
ed entirely ot enlisted men.
After mess Thursday even’ng, the
o'fleers of the regiment were assem

from there they called on General
Walter G. Harris, and also Colonel
Mallory, who is In charge of the en

Fifth Regiment band up to Colonel
Mallory's headquarters Thursday
evening to entertain the colonel and
his staff and others who were there.
An official inspection of all the
kitchens was made Thursday and
every precaution taken against every

That Peace is at Hand
Washington—Officials watching
shiiments of arms to Mexico Btated
positively today that General Villa
was not buy.ng ammunition of war
independently of the authority 'of
Gen. Carranza, as had been report
ed from the border.
It was suggested that the reports
arose because Villa’s agents, lumillar
with the equipment of his troops,
were negotiating purchases directly,
but that lias been the practice for
many months.

El Paso, Texas- —A concession to

ft was said the first shipment would
total approximately 200,000 head and
that most of the cattle would be mar
keted at Kansas City, Fort. Worth
and Chicago, the remainder being
taken to ranges in southwestern
United States.
Observers here 'predicted that this
deal ultimately would result in the
release of Luis Terrazas, Jr., held
prisoner by Vlllu on account of his
alleged Huerta sympatries.

Seemed to Be Going Against

P a c s—The chief Judge cdtnllenglnK
one of his col leagues to a duel, the
reading of the "mysterious" letters,
Which were supposed to affect the
case so pro ottndly, and the physical
collapse In court, of Mme. Calllaux
"ere three incidents which today
stirred the emotions In connection
with the trial of Mine Caillanx for
tJ.o murder of Gaston Calmette.
A peculiarly French atmosphere
wiiH lent to the affair by the quarrel
of the judges. Th s was added co bv
the piquant contents of the former
premier's love letters, whose recital
before the public caused the prisoner
to fall unconscious and to remain
for a long time In a swoon.
Beyond the reading of the letters
little progress was made and It gen
erally was expected the trial would
