The Temple Times has one jtjjen maje himself obnoxiously famii-
vote and is exceedingly anxious
to give it away. The only ques
tion is to whom shall we give
it? We have been hunting for
a man who is in favor of some-
thing besides merging eveiy
thing into office getting. We
wouid like to vote for the re
peal of occupation t^x, for the
repeal of the unlimited home-
stead, for the man who would
move the powers that be in re-
pealing the libel law, for a re-
construction of the constitution,
for general reform, for repealing
half the laws now on the statute
books and for general relief.
Who wants our vote ?

Yesterday morning at 9:30 Dr. J.
II. Jones of Dallas shot and killed
Capt. W.G. Veal of Fort Worth at
the Sterling Price confederate veteran
headquarters on the third floor of the
Merchant's exchange building on the
lorncr ot Commerce and Lsmar
si reels. Cap t. Veal was silting at a
table with Gen. W. N. Bush of Collin
to lira. Greathouse’s room, and tebre j county and Robert Walker of Sher-
being no man about tbo premise e,1 man, reading to them somo resoln-
tbey aat up till day. After daylight ! ui he had lust written when Dr.

Baker and returned home, expecting Mr Walker sprang to their teet and
Mr. Greathouae back. Alter they l.-/t
the negro oame to Mra. Baker’s, leav-
ing end returning four times, lie,
on one ot these visits, asked Mrs. Ba-
ker what was the matter With Miss
advanced toward Dr Joues who stood
for a moment- with the smoking re-
volver In hi* hand, and then turned
uround and walked into the next
room. Confhsed for a moment with but h> well known tn thtsoity
surprise and a’arm Gen Bu hand Mr
Walker did not notice that Oapt. Veal
had been shot. When thev turned
around he was lying with bis lace be-
tween his hands on the table with n
stream of blood bursting frem a death
wovud In his temple. Dr W. L
Thompson was sent a hasty summon*
rn 1 arrived In a ewnom n slut 0 -
late, for the soul of (Jaj t W. G. Veal
was already speeding into the great
beyond, and all that was earthly of
him was growing cold. The bullet
w hich was fired from a 45-Callber six-
shooter entered his left temple aud
pissed through his brain and head,
aud lodged just under the skin on the
right side aud the back of his neck-
Death was instantaneous. He felt
perhapB a violent shock, then the kem
sting of death came and all was over.
Dr Jones, when he turned from tho
d or of the room in which his victim
lay, walked iuto the adjoining room
aud surrendered his revolver to J N
Worthy, who took his arm and walk-
ed witn him dowu stairs aud Into
tho street. Just as they stepped out
onto the sidewalk they met Deputy
sheriff 8loan Lewis, who placed Dr
Jones under arrest and placed him in
jail.
A reporter arrived on the scene a
tew minutes after the shooting and
could scarcely make a passage to the
room where Capt Veal lay, so closely
were the staircases and hallways
packed and so excited was every me
iu the building. Old veterans with
flushed l&<-«8 aud with inelr badges
flapping wildly on their breasts weut
hurryiDg back aud forth through the
hallways, up aud down the stairs try-
ing to get the details of the shooting.
Scores of curious people were elbow-
ing one another about trying to get
as uear to the tragic room as poosible.
When tho reporter had climbed aud
pushed his way to the third flo r the
doors of both rooms of the confeder
ate headquarters wire lockeu and
every cue, members ot the Sterling
Price camp not excepted, were being
refused admittance. However, alter
waiting a few moments the repor er
gained admittance to the rooms, but
the securing ot information seemed
an impossibility, tor tho few on the in-
side wore twice as excited as those
on the outside.
Lying on the table witb his lace be-
tween his bauds was Capt. Veal with
blood flowiug Irum ihe fatal wound
ia his temple, into a clotted pool ot
blood strewn with brains. On the
floor just beneath the table was an-
other pool of clotted blood which had
poured off the table. In his right
baud was the pencil he bad been us-
ing just a tew moments before, anil
ou the table near his left hand lay the
paper, on which he had just writtin
covered with clotted blood. He wa?
silting ou the front edge of the chair
with his legs crossed over the pool ot
blood ou the floor. When some one
raised hie nead aud exposed bis luce
it presented a sad appearauce—every
feature had a purple hue caused by
the tush of blood to the head seeking
the outlet.
About hall au hour alter the shoot-
lug a reporter called at the jail aud
found Dr, Joues in conversation wuh
his attorney. When asked for a state-
ment he replied: ‘T do uot care to
make a statement. It was about my
wile, a delicate matter and will come
out later and 1 do not wish to make
any statement now.”
“Do you feel justified in shooting
Capt. Yea!?”
“If I had not ielt perfectly justified
I would not have done it. ’
“How long have you lived iu Texas,
dr c tor?"
“i’wenty-five years, hive iu Bran-
ham and twenty in Dallas.”
“What is your native state?”
“1 was born aud raised iu Hunts-
ville, Ala ”

ho said : “I served four years. I first
enlisted as a private iu the first Mis
s-sstppi cavalry, aud was afterwaid
surgeon ot the twenty-seventh Ala-
bama. I was under Gen. Loving.”
Dr. Joues was remarkably cool, no*,
showiug the least excitement iu his
race, voice or manner. He said tbht
he married here in Dallas. His wile
