We had several Indians, there being two pairs of brothers, all from the same reservation and all of them splendid soldiers. We had several men hit that night by rifle grenades. I particularly remember two: Flanagan and McFarland.
The former was hit in numerous places, some of them really serious, but was most concerned over a little scratch on his face which he was afraid would injure his good-looks. McFarland, just a boy, about eighteen, had his left hand terribly mangled and nearly twenty pieces of metal in other parts of his body, but he laughed and called out: "I've got my Blighty; I've got my Blighty."
They had suddenly become fearful for our safety they wrere afraid we would be hit by our own shells. We settled reluctantly back near the foot of the slope. Captain Allen told his men to lie down and get their breath. Then he called our attention to Captain McFarland, who was with some men about thirty yards to our right and up on the slope.
McFarland had plenty of friends who offered to pay the amount but I believe he paid it himself. Then he began some investigation of the corruption at the police station. He preached a sermon telling of this. It was published. I was in jail next door to the room in which the mayor, Parker, and the police gathered to discuss a suit for slander against Dr. McFarland, but it was only a bluff.
