Retires From Western Asylum
After Five Years Service.
his Successor Likely TO be Or. }.
w. Stephens, Now of
Lakeland.

DR.. Waiter A. Lackey, first as
sistant physician at the Western
Asylum since May 1900, rendered
his resignation October 1st and Gov.
Beckham on Friday announced that
he had accepted the resignation to
take effect Oct. 10.
The step taken by DR.. Lackey,
IN the absence oil other reasons, is
understood TO be the result Of
strained relations between Supt.
Board and DR.. Lackey.
The Board of Commissioners sus-
tanned DR.. Board in the differences
and Gov. Beckham when appealed
to backed up the superintendent
and the Commissioners. DR.. Lack
ey went to St. Louis to see the Gov
ernor and the result of the inter
view was that his resignation fol.
lowed
1t is probable that DR.. Lackey
will resume the practice of medicine
at his old home, Pembroke.
His successor as first assistant
physician will very likely be DR..
]. w. Stephens, who now : fills a
similar position at Lakeland. DR..
Stephens was transferred to Lake
land about two months ago and it
is understood that DR.. Board very
much desires his return. His
transfer to the Western Asylum
would be very gratifying to the
public as we'll as to the Asylum
officials, as he is very popular and
his fitness is universally recognized
and appreciated.
