OMAHA, Tex, March l5.-Yesterday
evening Dick Fuller shot and perhaps ia

colored. The shooting occurred about
three miles east of here, and was occa-
stoned by trouble about dusky damseI.

Yesterday evening as Lewis was driving
by field where Fuller was at work, the
quarrel was renewed, and after some
pretty hard words were passed, Lewis
drew his pistol aud told Fuller he was
going TO kill him. Fuller then went to
mis- house and got his gun aud come back,
and the quarrel was again re-

pistol q second time. "Look out, -

Wheelock q. Veazey was born In
Rockingham County, New Hampshire,
about fifty-three years ago, and was ed
ucated at Phillips, Exeter Academy,
Dartmouth College, and the Albany Law
School. He had just begun practice in
Springfield VT, when the war broke
out. AT the close of his military SER
vice he resumed practice at Rutland, i'm
partnership with the Hon. Redheld
Proctor, the present Secretary of
War. He enlisted as n private i'm
the Third Vermont Volunteers early. i'm
1851, was chosen Captain OF Com
pany A, and promoted To be Major
and Lieutenant Colonel that summer.
The Colonel of the regiment was William
Il. Smith, who afterward became popu-
larly known rs General "Baldy" Smith.
Being West Point man he gave his
command thorough discipline, and il dis
tinguished itself at Leo Mills. the first
battle of the pcnnsular campaign i'm
1862. BY this time, however, It's colonel
had been made general. and was i'm
command of a division, and Colonel
Veazey was his chief staff and was en-
gagged i'm all the battles of the peninsular
campaign. In addition TO leading law
practice in 1854 he accepted an appoint

the Supreme Court of Vermont. and held
the Office eight years, publishing nine vol
umeS. He was a State Senator i'm 1928,
and a leading member of that body.
Still continuing To practice law, he was
appointed register in bankruptcy in 1878,
which he held until the law was repealed.
In 1879 he was chosen Judge of the
Supreme Court of Vermont, and held
this Office for ten years, becoming dis
tinguished for judicial learning and
probity, and being called 10 preside at
nsi prus over the most difficult trials in
the State. In 1879 he was appointed by
the Governor a commissioner to report
10 tho Legislature upon court expenses,
with a view TO retrcnchment and reform.
Soon after going on the bench he was
appointed commissioner for revising
the statutes Of the State. In 1889 he
was appointed by President Harrison an
Interstate Commissioner, and this Office
he holds at the present time.

great advantage that would accrue To the
departments and the organization IL there
were n less frequent change OF the Assistant
Adjutant General In the various depart
ments. Some of the larger departments
have adopted the plan OF keeping perma-
nent headquarters and making infrequent
changes in the Office OF Assistant Adjutant
General. This seems to me very desirable in
deed. and quite agree with Comrade Weigle
in his report that IL would be amply sufficient
10 have semi-annual reports instead OF
quarterly, as the latter only enhance the
labor OF the post and the department officers
without serving any purpose that would not
be equally as well served by semi-annual
reports.
As giving an Indication OF the amount OF
work required in the Office of the Adjutant
General, L beg To notice that there have been
issued eighteen general orders, three circu-
lars, two national rosters, which with an
issue OF Il, 900 copies OF each amounts in all
orders were issued. and nearly 1000 COM
