this morning, the result of an attack Of
pneumonia of about one weeks duration.
He was born in 1917, near Lexington. Rock
bridge county, Va. He came Of rcvolu-

in NashinSton's army. The name Of Big
Foot Wallace has been a household word
IN Texas Tor more than sixty years. The
school histories of this state have made
his name familiar to several generations.
He lived in camp for more than half a
century. during which time he was always
recognized as a faithful guardian OF the
frontier.
He was one of the famous prisoners Of

home. this masterful martial spirit Whis-
pered to his comrades that he saw a ray of
hope. The next instant the Texans gave a
yell and. with no other weapons than their
hands, rushed upon company of MeNi-
can cavalry left to guard them and un-
horsed them to a man.
In the gloomy dungeon Of Perote il took
seven giant MeNicans to throw him TO the
earth and bind him. After he had lain
hfteen days, chained hand and foot, face
downward, TO a rock, without food or wa
