The Winchester regiment was a part of the force that followed him, both fighting hard.

Dick found himself with his comrades, wading a creek, and they plunged into the woods and thickets which blazed with the fire of South and North.

A Confederate general was killed here, but the brave Bowen still kept his division in order, and made the pursuit pay a heavy cost for all its gain.
Dick saw besides the Confederate column many irregulars in the woods, skilled sharpshooters, who began to sting them on the flank and bring down many a good soldier.

He caught a glimpse of a man who was urging on the riflemen and who seemed to be their leader.

He recognized Slade, and, without a moment's hesitation, fired at him with his pistol.
