He was hit twice, but he unlimbered his artillery, and before his horse had carried him, half dead, out on the prairie, he had killed one of the group. Several citizens had joined the cowboys and added their bullets against Buck. The deceased had been the best bartender in the country, and the rage of the suffering citizens can well be imagined.
On the right and on the left the enemy came hurrying up, their columns at a double quick. But they were met and brought to a stand at every point.

I then directed General Blair to send a strong division below the town, some four or five miles, to effect a crossing there.
Six Horse Artillery guns, led by Major Tombs one of the most gallant officers in camp came thundering along the road. They passed with a cheer, crossed the bridge at full speed, wheeled to their left, unlimbered as quick as lightning, and opened fire on the rebels.
