Two leading companies formed up and were awaiting orders when, suddenly, two signal guns were fired and, instantly, the line of timbers was lit up by a glare of fire, and a crashing volley of slugs was poured in. Lieutenant Greer, who was in front of the column, fell, seriously wounded. Then, with a shout of rage that almost drowned the order, "Charge!" they leapt to their feet and dashed forward.
Thereafter, the location was known as Greer Valley. In 1901, D.K. Udall became a resident and in that year his wife, appointed postmaster, was instrumental in naming the office and locality after her father, John Hunt, of the Mormon Battalion, who had a farm in the locality a year or so thereafter, though not actually resident.

"Are you badly hurt?" inquired the American, becoming more nearly normal himself. "Punch through my shoulder." "Were you hit in the explosion?" "One of the Panther's machine guns ricocheted, I think." "What rotten luck!" growled Madden. Smith reached his good arm to the float. "Had it all my life in little things, Madden, but the Panther that torpedo " "Boat ahoy!" called Farnol Greer suddenly.
Though he was on fire with jealousy, he would not go after Greer, nor let the others go. He could scarcely have explained why perhaps because he dimly apprehended that it was Colina's game to drive him mad with jealousy. "Let him go," he said thickly. "I will run the mill myself!"

The Englishman was shoving fiercely at the American's shoulder, Greer, ahead, pulling at an elbow.
Give him a little time, and he'll come to himself," said the Doctor, still apologetic. "I understand he's been painting Miss Christian Talbot-Lowry's portrait," pursued Father Greer, with limpid simplicity. "I'm told she's as pretty a young girl as there is in this neighbourhood."
"Lunatics!" gasped Mulcher. "Greer and I fancied someone scuttled the Minnie B," explained Madden with a frown, "but that's no sign such a person is aboard the Vulcan." "They are wonderful like, sir," observed Gaskin. "Anyway we'll look her over." The men agreed and began scattering away, two by two for companionship.
