SAM H. HANCOCK, JR.
Tbe aboye is taken from a photograph of Sam H. Hancock, jr.
the 11-year old. eon of Lieutenant Sam H. Hmcock, of troop H
1st Texas Vol. Cavalry, as he rode with the. Lane Rangers (Troop
H) from Laredo to Brownsville, a distance of 261 miles, on his
! Shetland pony "'George.'' This hoy rode through' myriad clouds
of alkali dust, "in a country where shines the hottest sun in all the
States," day after day, from 15 to 56 miles a day, eating, hard tack
and bacon, and drinking the foulest of tank water, vet always
Cheerful, full of fun and frolicsome as becomes a boy. He
laughed to scorn the complaints of tired and worn troopers and to-
gether with hi? pony cantered into Ft. Brown at 3 o'clock in the
morning, as high spirited as when twelve days before he rode
the head of the troop through the crowded streets of'San Antonio.
The picture presents him dressed in a regulation field uniform
mounted, armed and fully equipped—just as he made his long
ride.
Sam's home is Weimar, Colorado county, but he is a native of
Old Fayette-^and Fayette is as proud of the boy as Colorado could
possibly be,

ENQLE. TEX. SEPT. THE 21 1898.
WRITTEN BY H, DEAHRE'i FOR CHS STICKER.
About 14 days ago i mad a trip
thiough Several counties. My starting
point was. Shulenburg on the 25 of Aug-
ust about mid night with the East bound
train, and as it was night I did not see
mutch tile Rosenberg. 1 think we went
about 60 miles an our. then I tried to
sleep, but it shaked so I hardly could
set still in my seat, there was one man
along he went asleep and fell of his seat,
but he dont not get hurt s-' it past of
with a little laugh.
It was about *4 past 3 oh clock whet;
we arived in Rosenberg and as 1 wasne:
uanted there. 1 walked the depo floor
morning. I was a little sleepy then 1
went in to the depo houseand.called fore
a cup of coffee, then the noss of the us-
tablishment said it cost me ten cents. I
told him that would take 2 pounds of
jined cotton, then he said. . my dear
Freind I omt help that, that is our price
very well I said then I will pay you. but
before I will try any thing el* [ will-ask
fore the prices, that is the be>t you can
do, the rest I will go over.
I had to wait in Rosenberg till 10 oh
clock on the 26 then I pulled out fore
Inesa little Station East of Vitoria. '
Tbe Railroad trip was alright but fhe
rest of the trip was not. when I arived at
Ines I talked with a man a few minutes,
the train left me, and 1 wanted to go to
Victoria that ftight ore stay with some-
body in Ines, with the latter 1 had no
success ! tried at several places but with
no success, at last I wandered on towards
Victoria, I went on about about 3 miles
to a German his name I have forgotton
and 1 ask him if I couldent stay with
him all night, that 1 was very tired then
he said it wasend four miles to Victorea.
if I would walk on I would git there, a
bout eleven oh clock, then I asked him
>f } e couldent take me about halfe way.
I would pay hjtn well fore his trouble,
then he no, one the little boys had went
to- town this morning with the buck
board and if I would walk on slow I
would git there about eleven o clock then
1 walked of and I passed one of his boys
1 asked him if he couldent take me a lit-
to take me a little further, then he said
that is fure enough, you have about 6
miles to go yet, so I done as I was com-
mandet I tell you then the trouble come
I could not walk at first my feet was in a
bad shap. 1 puled my shoes of, and tried
it barfooted, now as my feet was sore I
could not walk, and 60,1 had to out on
my shoes agin, but with what trouble I
belljve everyone knows if he has got
blisters on his feet,
Allright 1 walked on and then I met a
joung American on horseback he chalj
anst me and ask me if I han seen a wag-
ofl with people on it, I replied yes, then
he asked me where 1 was going, ai d
where I came from I told him than, he
dismounted and said old man you get

way never mind 1 said my young Friend,
I will walk pn slowly and 1 will get there

conferdresy. lay down and go to sleep,
1 told him them days was past, and I
thought there was plenty of houses and
gallerreas in town where I could lay
down, at last 1 found a place and I tell
you 1 sleeped. I asked the man how
much he would^harge me fore the bed
he said 20 cents, and then he said if I
wanted to pay tonight. I told him I will
pay you in the morning, but if yt>u are
afraid that 1 will go of before you get up
here is my vest and watch as pune, and
i pulled of my vest and watch and want-
ed to hand him same, he said never
mind, and then 1 turned and 1 went to
sleep, I tell you I did slept two ours in
one. the next morning 1 walked aroundk
a little while when the man kame and
1 h'endet him his 20 cents and I started
to hunt up my Freind Deagel. he lives

ing at his breakfest table when I came
