was at Fort Sill, and SO out of Immediate CON
Sideration
THEY DIDN'T CALL.
A brother officer Of Col. Mills tells the follow
ing story: The colonel and 1 were talking in his
Office at Davis when an orderly came in and
said that company of cavalry were approach-
ing. Soon after Capt. Nolan entered the Office
accompanied by young officer; they were uni
formed almost alike and both appeared sun
burnt. as frontier soldiers naturally would.
Col Mills?" asked Capt. Nolan
eyes, SIR
81 am Capt Nolan Of your regiment-perm
me to introduce Lieut.. Flipper."
The call was an official act OF courtesy,
and Col Mills during the conversation re-
marked:
my family are here, captain, we shall be
pleased to have You call upon US, and" turning
to the young colored man, who was no darker
at the time than his captain, you also, lieu
tenant"
Capt Nolan mixed bic ice water and had the
bad taste not to call. and Lieut.. Fipper, while
he acknowledged the courtesy, had the good
taste not to call.
..Flipper was the only ooIored graduate OF
West Potat." said an officer present. and Col.
S1afte1 was much to blame "a Flpper. for it
is TIE duty Of the commanding officer to go over
the accounts and cash Of his cOmmissary before
they are sent to the chief commissary. Shaster
did not do this, but let Flipper run and then
jumped him, soaring him into telling the lie
about the funds being in transit He had no
right to place Flpper In the guard house. az
officers and non commissioned officers are only
placed under arrest, the prgates being sent to
the guard-hOuse. Flpper's points are well
taken, and II he were a white man he would
upset the verdict and sentences: but he Ia q COL
ored man. and for one would not vote for any
