Unknown Dead Baby Fished From Weil.
Between IX) and 11 o'clock
Monday morning ' an object
was discovered by some ner
gro boys ina well on E Fishei
street near Lee. The find
was reported to, the police
who succeeded in bringing it
o the surface and learned
that it was a well-developed
white girl baby. It was left
lying on the well frame for
some time and was later tak
en in chargn by the county
coroner, D L Sides. Around
the child's neck was a cord
drawn tight and the body
was nudd and decay . had not
gone far enough to hide its
identify as a white child.
TheNegroes in that neigh
borhood use water from this
tvell-and it is not known just
how Jong the remains had
been in it, in fact nothing
is known more than is stated
above. The supposition,
which is probably correct, is
that it was strangled to
death and thrown in the well
for the purpose of hiding its
birth, Who its mother is
and who committed the
crime is yet to be learned.
It is believed the chilof . was
wrapped in something, paper
or cloth and the well was
dragged with the hope of ob
turning something that may
give a clue that will lead to
tho discovery of the criminals.
The body of a blue bathing
suit trimmed in white and a
half yard ot white silk hem
med on one edge was found.
The water will be pumped
out of the well in an effort to
discover other articles.

llfjfeploKkile conditions ex

a pispath f rom London, sent out
by the Bri ti sh Wireless Service.
Starvation prevail throughout
Bo-sheviki Russia and is killiog
bff the population by thousands
days dispatch due to under riour
ishment, diseases are rampant.
Food is so scarce in Petrdgrad
and Moscow that cats sell read
ily for three dollars each. The
undertakers cannot cope with
conditions. as there is not
enough Wood for coffins.
These reports have been
brought to the attention of the
British government within the
last week by British subjects
recently returned from Russia,
Several of the Britishers have
lived nearly all of their lives' in
"Russia and left Russia because
ot intolerable conditions.
Their evidence is unanimous
that the food situation is inde
scribably terrible and if means
are not found to alleviate it the
inhabitants of bolsheviki Russia
may starve to death. The Brit
ish say the plight of Russia is a
direct result of the reign of
anarchy aud terror instituted by
iienine and Trotsky. They de
clare the -Russian pioblem ha
ceased to be a political question
and has become a question of
common humanity. :
Thousands are dying daily in
the great centers of population!
like i Petrograd, Moscow, Kiev
and Odessa. In Petrograd alone
the deaths from famine tbre.
weeks ago numbered 2oo dailj
Typhoid or "hunger typhus,'
is carrying off young and old
everywhere and in Moscow
glanders is epidemic.
There is no fuel for lighting
and millions live irf pitch dark
ness after night fall. The trouble
of the Russians are further ag
gravated by lack of coal and
wood, which can be obtained
only by the very rich or by the
favorites and parasites ot the
bolsheviki government.
The famous - Kremlin in Mos
cow, according to reports, - is
now used as a hoarding place
for wood, fuel and lighting ma
terials for the bslsheviki govern
meat. The bolsheviki food distri
buting system has fallen down.
and works only to the advantage
of the 'government and its sup
porters.
Meat, milk and vegetables all
command enormous prices when
they can be obtained. Horse
meat 'sells for the normal equiva
lent of flo a pound and dog flesh
can'be had at from $2.5o to $3.5o
a pound There is-a great lack
of medicines and doctors.
The bolsheviki paper money
has no value in the country ; dis
dricts and the peasants refuse
to exchange it for food. The
only country produce which
reaches the towns is that requis
tioned by the armed Red
Guards.
In Petrograd three weeks ago
milk was selling for five dollars
a pint, pork 3o.oo a pound, butter
45.00 a pound, tea 125.oo a pound
and potatoes 3.75 a pound. For
the ordinary quivalent of 1.75 at
the public kitchen in Petrograd
a meal of very weak sonp a
piece of salt fish and a piece of
dried fruit could be purchased.
