the casualty list sent In by General
rershing, as died Of disease" Ma
such person so far as is known ever

and II is believed that Lakeland. in
stead Of Lowry is meant. The
Courier has inquired Of the mother
Of Tommy" but has moi yet re-
ceived a reply.
Thomas q. Lakeland entered the
service Of Uncle sam in August 1917
and was commissioned a captain OF
artillery three months afierward
lie was sent 10 France last July and
saw active service on the firing line
He was soldier from the ground

When the troops went into Mex
leo he offered Colonel slocum his
services as a scout. but was not ac b
cepted at that time as such. He
fell in with Troop T. Of the 18th
Cavalry, as a private, except that
he did not wear the uniform. and
that he furnished his own horse
and equipment, and did not know
that he was TO receive pay,
shortly after the troops entered
Mexico he was very often detailed
TO very hard tasks in the line Of
scout duty, which he cheerflly did.
When CarranEa issued his ultimatum
that the expedition could move in
no direction but north. and the
army began 10 retire northward, he

10 insure the carrying out OF the
agreement, and at the end of the
ten years turn the plant back TO the
city with what improvements he
had made in order to keep the popu-
