the sham battle, and its strength in the camp was 405 officers and men.
The passing of the last veteran company, Company A, of Terre Haute, from the First Regiment, was in 1889. It was made a separate company and continued in service but a short time, as the members were growing old. It was the last one to leave the service. At this time the regiment had a total strength of 575, and of this number 463 were in camp. It was during this encampment that regiment received the regulation blanket bags.
The strength of the regiment remained about the same, and by the close of 1891 it was reported at 416 officers and men. In October, 1892, the regiment sent 246 officers and men to the dedicatory exercises of the Columbian Exposition. The companies which were present were A, B, C, F, H and I. The total strength of the entire regiment at this time was 561.
The gallery practice made during 1892 showed good re- sults by the regiment. The average score of the companies in the regiment were: B, 30.24; H, 29.34; A, 25.91; I, 25.18; K, 24.21; E, 23.72; F, 16.34. The highest possible score was 50. The highest individual scores in the regiment resulted in a tie between Privates H. Turrell and Case, of A and B, with 42 each. Private Mcclellan, of K, had 41; Corporal A. H. Lyendecker. of I, 40; Private Walker, of E, and Lieuten- ant Treadway, and Private Phipps, of H, 39 each; Captain McAuliff and Private Decker, of F, 35 each. Company H, made the second largest aggregate score in the State with 1,353, and special mention was made in the official notice of the result of Companies F, H and A for the large number of men who shot. The averages of the companies made on the inspection this year were: A, 86.10; H, 82; I, 81.8; C, 79.8; E, 78; K, 77; F, 71.9; B, 71.2.
The strength of the regiment later was: 1892, 561; 1893, 562; 1895, 681; 1896, 546, and 1897, 575.
The headquarters of the regiment have been changed at various times. When it was organized, Indianapolis was the headquarters. In 1885 headquarters were changed to Delphi and in 1888 to Evansville. Terre Haute became headquarters in 1891 and New Albany five years later.
At the outbreak of the war with Spain the regiment con- sisted of but eleven companies, and an additional company was organized at Vincennes, which was assigned to the reg-

The colonel commanding, George W. McCoy, of Vin- cennes, has been in the First Regiment since Company A, of Vincennes, was assigned. He entered the State service as captain of Company A, June 17, 1889, and served as such until February 8, 1892, when he was promoted major. He became lieutenant-colonel December 20, 1892, and his commission as colonel was issued April 27. 1900.
Colonel McCoy has attended every camp of instruction held in the State from 1889 to 1900, inclusive. During the summer of 1892 he acted as assistant inspector-general, and as such made the general inspection of the Third Infantry. During the coal strikes in 1894 he served with a detachment of his regiment in Sullivan County for sixteen days, or until the troops in that section were relieved.
He remained with his regiment at the outbreak of the war with Spain and was mustered into United States volun- teer service as lieutenant-colonel of the One-hundred-and- fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteers, and was on duty with his regiment at Camp Alger, near Falls Church, Virginia, until August 3, 1898, when the regiment broke camp and marched to Thoroughfare Gap, a distance of about sixty miles. Dur- ing the march and for about twenty days he was in command of the regiment, as the colonel was absent on sick leave. From Thoroughfare Gap the regiment moved with the entire Second Army Corps to Camp Meade at Middletown, Pa. The regiment returned to Indianapolis from Camp Meade, and he was mustered out of service on November 23, 1898. Dur- ing his entire term of service, Colonel McCoy was never on the sick list, and he was only absent from duty four days on leave of absence granted while the regiment was at Camp Meade.
As soon as he left the military service he returned to his home at Vincennes and again became actively engaged in the insurance business in the firm of McCoy, Boeckmann & Co
Lieutenant-Colonel James F. Fee, of Greencastle, is a vet- eran of two wars. At the outbreak of the civil war he was living in Monroe County, Indiana, and on April 19, 1861, he enlisted as a private in the first company raised in the county. One week later the company was ordered to camp at Terre Haute, but when it arrived there the call for three months'

service men was filled. On May 10 the company was mus- tered into the service of the State for one year, as were the other nine companies in Camp Vigo. The regiment thus formed was later reorganized and mustered into United States service as the Fourteenth Indiana, the same number it had held in the State service. One entire company, except the captain, declined to enter the United States service for three years, all, however, being willing to enter for the period originally contemplated, one year. Many other members of the regiment declined to enter the three years' service and all were sent to Indianapolis. Colonel Fee was among this num- ber. The entire company and enough additional men to make the total 105 were counted off the right of the line as the men stood in Illinois street, Indianapolis, and sent to Rich- mond, Ind., to complete the Sixteenth Indiana, which was being organized for one year. The remainder, including Colonel Fee, was sent to Camp Morton, where they remained until July 9, 1861, when they were discharged.
Many had enrolled in regiments being organized for three years at Camp Morton, while others returned to their homes to organize companies for the three years' service under the call which had just been issued by the President. Colonel Fee was among the latter, and another company was quickly raised in Monroe county, which returned to Camp Vigo at Terre Haute on August 26, 1861. The company was mustered into United States service September 5, 1861, and was as- signed to the Thirty-first regiment as Company G. Colonel Fee was mustered in as a sergeant. He was made second lieutenant February 22, 1864, and first lieutenant September 15 following. He was discharged January 10, 1866, having served the full time, or four years and seven months, with the one company.
Colonel Fee participated in all the engagements with his regiment, beginning with Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and until the regiment left the service. The regiment veteranized in January, 1864, and in the latter part of June, 1865, it was sent to Texas and formed a part of the "Army of Observa- tion" until December of that year, when it was ordered home for muster ont and discharge. Few regiments from Indiana lost more men in the service than the Thirty-first.
Colonel Fee entered the service of the State as captain of Company I, First Regiment, of Greencastle, on June 27, 1891. He was re-elected to the same position when the company was reorganized March 6, 1894, and was promoted to major July 17, 1895, and assigned to the command of the First Battalion.
157

He entered upon these duties three days later, and so con- tinued until the regiment entered the United States service on May 12, 1898.
He retained his rank and commanded the battalion as it was organized in the State service, and served continuously with the regiment until it was mustered out of service, No- vember 23, 1898. While he was absent in this duty he was elected city clerk of Greencastle and entered upon the duties of the office September 13, 1898, to serve a four years' term. He has also engaged in prosecuting pension claims and in fire insurance. When the regiment was reorganized he was appointed lieutenant-colonel.
Dr. Eugene Hawkins, major and surgeon of the regiment, is from Greencastle, and first commenced his military service as "lance sergeant" of Company I, First Infantry, of Green- castle, on June 27, 1891. He was appointed captain and as- sistant surgeon of the regiment February 6, 1892, and was re-commissioned February 6, 1896. He held this rank at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, and was appointed to the same office in the regiment after it entered United States service. He was mustered out of the United States service November 23, 1898, and was placed on the retired list of the National Guard. When the Guard was reorganized he was appointed to his present office and commissioned July 3, 1900. Major Hawkins was in charge of the medical department at Farmersburg for fourteen days during the railroad riots of 1894. He is now practicing his profession at Greencastle.
Dr. George L. Guthrie, assistant surgeon, with the rank of captain, was appointed to that position July 3, 1900, on the reorganization of the regiment. He is now engaged in the practice of his profession in Indianapolis.
William R. Davidson, of Evansville, was appointed assist- ant surgeon, with the rank of first lieutenant, on May 13, 1901.
David R. Gebhart, adjutant, with the rank of captain, enlisted as a private in Company C, of New Albany, in 1891, and was appointed a corporal in May, 1892, and ser- geant on September 21 following. In January, 1894, he was appointed regimental sergeant-major, and was mustered into the United States service as regimental-adjutant, having been appointed in January, 1898, and served as such during the Spanish-American war. On January 20, 1900, he was ap- pointed aide-de-camp on the staff of the brigadier-general commanding, and on July 9 following was appointed to his present position.

Lieutenant E. Bierhans, Jr., of Vincennes, regimental quartermaster, entered the service of the State as a sergeant of Company A, First Regiment, on June 17, 1889. He was promoted to the position he now holds in May, 1891, by Colonel Ewing. He served until the expiration of his term, May 9, 1894, when he was re-commissioned and served until discharged, May 5, 1898. He re-enlisted July 3, 1900, and was at once appointed to the present position. His active service was during the strike of 1894, during which he filled all the duties of his office.
George W. Biegler, of Terre Haute, was appointed com- missary, with the rank of captain, May 13, 1901. He first en- listed in Company B, First Infantry, March 20, 1889, as a pri- vate. He was made second lieutenant May 14, 1891, and first lieutenant December 8. 1891. He was promoted captain July 14. 1892, and was in command of the company during the Spanish war. After peace was declared. he was appointed a captain in the Twenty-eighth United States Volunteer Infan- try and at once went to the Philippines with his regiment.
The present chaplain of the regiment is the Rev. George Knox, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Vincennes. He entered the service of the State in this office April 27, 1900, as chaplain, with the rank of captain. He was present with his regiment at the annual encampment, and has taken an'active interest in the welfare of the members. Mr. Knox has estab- lished and followed a plan of trying to hold one service a year with each company in its home town. He is highly esteemed by all the officers and men of the regiment, and has a power- ful influence in the organization.
THE FIRST BATTALION.
The First Battalion of the regiment now has its headquar- ters at Bloomington. and consists of Companies K of Martins- ville, H of Bloomington, and D of Washington.
The battalion is under the command of Major Theodore J. Louden, of Bloomington. Major Louden commenced his military career as a private in Company HI, of Bloomington, on May 21, 1891. He was subsequently appointed corporal and sergeant, and in June, 1891, he was elected first lieuten- ant. He was commissioned July 8, 1891, and on April 18, 1894, he was commissioned captain. In 1896 he, with all other captains in the First Regiment, took an examination for promotion as major. He received the highest grade, and was commissioned June 6 of that year. He served through

He was appointed first sergeant of the company April 18, 1895. He was commis- sioned as captain of the company June 17, 1896, and as such served through the war with Spain. He was on special de- tached service as recruiting officer from June 8 to July 15, 1898. ' On July 11, 1900, he was appointed and commissioned in his present position.
Company K, Martinsville, is located in a town which has been identified with the Legion and National Guard previous to the organization of the present company. The first com- pany organized was called the Martinsville Rifles, and its or- ganization was perfected July 17, 1884. It was assigned to the Second Regiment as Company L, and formed a part of the Third Battalion, which was under the command of Major A. S. Helmes, with headquarters at Worthington. Early in 1886 the company was transferred to the Second Battalion of the same regiment as Company G, and was then under com- mand of Major Ben. C. Wright, of Indianapolis. On the ex- piration of its term of service the company disbanded. Dur- ing the entire term of service the officers were Captain Watt Piercy, First Lieutenant F. O. Brake, and Second Lieutenant R. B. Mitchell.
The company which now represents Martinsville in the Guard was organized in April, 1898, for service in the Span- ish-American war. It left. Martinsville for Camp Mount, near Indianapolis, April 26, and was mustered into State service April 27, and assigned to the Second Regiment as Company K. The company served through the war with the regiment. and after peace was declared it was the ninth separate com- pany to reorganize and entered the Guard August 9, 1899.
