flOW HICKS FELL
AlRaleigh Boy Writes Graphic
Description of Campaign
in China
DAGGERT'SBRAYE CHARGE
Joe Fuquay Tells of the Death of
Wyatt Hicks and the
Chinese Fights.
1'articulars have been received of
the death, of Wyatt Hicks, the brave
Raleigh boy who lost his life August
6th last in the battle of Yang Tsien,
China.'. The bare news of his death
was wired by the War Department to
the young man's father in this city,
hut he never learned the facts attend
ing his son's end until a few days
since when the mail brought him, a
letter from far away Rekin, a, letter
written by a stranger to the recipi
ent, but bound in friendship because
of the love which both bore for the
dead. But more remarkable still the
author of this letter, who was Hicks'
dearest comrade, was a ..orth Caro
linian and a former resident of Ral
eigh. Wyatt Hicks- served in Com
pany I, of the J 4th Regiment, and
Joseph 1). Fuquay is in Company L,
of the same regiment, nnd they were
the. only men from this State in that
entire regiment. Joseph Fuquay is a,
native of this county near the Harnett
line, ami for more than two years
worked in Raleigh. In 1807 and '!8
he clerked in the Southern Law Book
Exchange. Mr. Fuquay served in the
American-Spanish war and hud con
templated entering Wa,ke Forest Col
lege, but, enlisted in the United States
Army and was sent to the Philippines.
His letter indicted to the father of
Wyatt Hicks, is dated at Vekiiv
September 1st, 1900. Mr. Fuquay
gives such a fine description of the
campaign in China that, omitting his
introduction expressing sympathy to
Mr. Hicks, whom he felt, for because
of his fondness for his son. The
Times is permitted to print the fol
lowing from Mr, FiKiuny's letter:
THEIR COMRADESHIP.
"The sad tidings of course have al
ready reached you regarding the death
of your son, Wyatt G. Hicks, killed on
August (ith, in the battle of Yang
Tsien. Our relations were most inti
mate, althongn he was a, member of
Company I and I of I ompnny L, both
in the 14th Regini'ents )ir acquaint
ance wus fornwdi m the Philippines
and both having been reared in Wake
county nnd, besides I had also lived
in Raleigh nenrl.y two years, we. na
turally grew to be intimate friends.
Companionship With Hicks seemed
like iH'imr back among relatives and
friends. We were the only men in
the regiment from Central or Eastern
Carolina so far as we were able to
learn. Hicks was an exceptionally in
teresting talker, and his was a cheer
ful and kindly disposition. As a
soldiers he was honest and faithful,
without an enemy in the regiment.
START FOR CHINA.
''Prior' to our departure from Ma
nila, there wa much discussion as to
what, regiment would be sent to China.
The mhi Infantry had already gone
and the officers of the other regular
regiments were, anxious to participate
in the expedition. Every man in the
14th Regiment wanted the trip. July
7th the order came for the 14th Regi
ment to go and all prepared for em
barkation. We embarked July 14th on
the transport Indiana and sailed out
of Manila Bay at 4 p. m. July loth, for
Taku. China. There was no one in
the Regiment who seemingly appre
ciated the opportunity of mnking'the
trip more than Hicks. The duty to
which we were assigned in Manila
since coming in from the firing line,
hud become monotonous and notwith
standing the Regiment had seen ten
months of hard service in the field,
vet all were eager for more fighting.
'I .IE VOYAGE.
"Hicks and I were together every
day on the voyage, and our long talks
were enjoyed immensely. W'e talked
about Raleigh and Raleigh people so
often. 1 shall never forget, those
chats. There was no unfavorn-ble
weather and the voyage was delight
ful.' ' '
"The Indiana anchored at Nagasaki.
Japan, July 21st, to con 1 and sailed for
Taku the following day. and we dis
embarked there July 28th.
ALLIED FORCES.
"Before we reached China, the Rus
sian, Japanese, English and American
forces had driven the Chinese out of
Taku. Tang Ku and Tien Tsin, in
which engagements the 0th U. S. In
fantry had already taken part, re
