Andrew J. Lackey of Burnet is
RTv nding a few days with his sister,
Mrs. John Nicholson, in the city of
Brenham.
He likes Brenham splendidly and
says it is one Of the best towns it
has been his happy privilege to visit
in quite a while.
The following account tells some-
thing of the life and career of Mr.
blowing open the gates with Riley's
battery.
Describing the various nationalities
represented at Tientsin, Lackey said
the Russians soldiers were over the
average size physically, as were the
Germans.
He served eight months 'in the
Philippines and fought in several en-
gagements against Aguinaldo and the
Lackey and it is' very interesting and Moros. He says these savages will

Andrew J. Lackey enlisted in the
United States army in July, 1899, and
after a service of twelve years in all
was honorably discharged at Angel
Island, Cal., a few months ago.
He saw service last with Company
A,' Eighth Infantry of regulars. He
fought against Aguinaldo and the
Moros in the Philippine Islands and
in the Boxer war in China where he
received a certificate for heroism
from the President of the United
States. In the two wars he took
part in four pitched battles and ten
or twelve smaller engagements, most
of the latter in the Philippines, and
never received a scratch.
The hardest battle he engaged in
was at Tientsin, China, where 50,000

fight, but are not many removes from
water, and' he does not believe they
can ever be civilized. His power of
expression and shrewd observation
show him to be a soldier of unusual
intelligence, so that his opinion, upon
inquiry, "It would be a good thing
if the United States government
would give them their independence
tomorrow," ought to have some
weight. Extreme filthiness is one
of their dominant failings, and cock
fighting a passion.
Of the army canteen, He said it
was a sort of necessary evil That
the soldier was going to get his liq-
uor no matter how he got it, and it
was better to have the canteen hedg-
ed and safeguarded by regulation
than to allow the scum of the earth
in the way of keepers of low dives,
and blind tigers to lead him to deg-
radation.
Mr. Lackey's discharge paper shows
that his record was "honest and
Chinese soldiers held the double-wall i faithful."
Fort Worth, Texas, March 10.—
Tom Lee, negro, was hanged at 11:30
this -morning. A large crowd sur-
rounded the jail and filled the gal-
lows space in the jail The widow
Policeman Ogletree and his sister,
the slain officers"father and three
brothers witnessed the hanging.
Lee killed Walter Monroe, negro,
and Policeman Ogletree, wounded
Pete Soles, another negro and a
white boy May 15, and then shot
himself. Lee sought revenge for his
losses in a crap game, plotting es-
peciall against Soles. But the let-
ter's wounds were only trivial and
Lee shot the others in trying to
escape.
Lee's arrest was the signal for a
night of rioting in Fort Worth, only
quailed by the State Militia. Negro
business houses were wrecked, the
jail was stormed and negroes were
beaten. But Lee was kept hidden all
the while in a tunnel and later re-
moved safely to Denton. Many ar-
rests after rioting resulted in con-
victions, jail and penitentiary sen-
tences.
Lee's hanging was for the death
of Moore and is said to have been
the first time a negro paid th* death
penalty for killing one of his own
color.

England, Russia, France, Germany,

powers being there with fleets and
armies to protect their subjects in
the Celestial country. Tientsin is
encircled by an outer mud and an in-
ner stone wall, the space between
them being over a mile which space
was occupied by the attacking forces
after the gates had been blown open
by the English troops. The advance
upon the inner wall was led by the
Japanese who were supported by the
two regiments of United States In-
fantry, the Ninth and Fourteenth,
followed by the other allies.

advantage of the numerous canals

Lackey, in one of the captured
Chine8^ cities, saw seven Celestials
executed by the civil authorities for
theft. They laughed and joked a few
moments before death, and called on
to bow their heads, they did so with
^unconcern, when a blow of the eword
sent that member rolling on the
ground.
In person, Lackey is rather small
and lean, has grayish-blue eyea, a
fighting nose; is straight-forward and
modest in narration; 58 years old,
and still hearty and strong. He has

ordered to occupy ^ certain mound'ington this eleventh day of Decem-
close to the wall, which was thronged fber, in the year of our Lord, one
with the pig-tails. His captain called
upon him to ascend the embankment
to report doings of the enemy. He'
and Corporal Abbot advanced to and
occupied a most exposed position for
nine mortal hours, when the bullets
rained constantly, the wonder to the
Texas soldier's mind being how he
and his companion ever escaped death
The rule was to rise, fire, then fall
to the earth, the same motion repeat-
ed scores of times during the terri-
ble ordeal. Forced to retire to a
former position from lack of ammu-
nition to renew the attack, the
Ninth Infantry had covered itself
with glory after a loss of 122 killed
including the gallant Colonel Lips-
oomb ,who was shot through the
heart and fell so near Lackey the
Texan helped to lay him down.
Lackey saw hert the terrible work
done by "Long Tom," the famous six-
inch siege gun captured by the Eng-
lish in the Boer war. It was over
twenty feet long and when'explod-
ing the Liddite shells the jar was so
great the earth seemed to rise under
the feet It was pointed so that the
shell would just graze the top of the
wall, then explode inside, involving
the death of hundreds of Chinamen
who were found to lie in pijes. The
battle lasted thirty-six hours. Tient-
sin is a city of a half million in-
habitants, its stone wall being thirty
feet high, thirty feet thick at the
base,. Ijjit sloping to thr?<bp, where
it was wide enough to allow four
horses to walk abreast. Field Mar-
shal Darwin was in command of the
allied forces. ■
Asked as to the Japanese troops,
Lackey said enthusiastically: 'They
were soldiers indeed." He said the
Chinese were brave but lacked disci-
pline and real generals to command

a scene presented on the bay during
the engagement. It was the various
fleets of the allied powers in groups,
awaiting the issue of the contest on

generally of a lead color, but the
ships carried each their National
colors «nd pennant*—the whole pre-
