regiment who were in the line of promo
ton. and that he did no more than he
believed that he had right to do, but
that Colonel Funston had disapproved Of
what he had done, and that was the end
of the matter Lieutenant Colonel Little
was not ordered to his quarters by COL
onel Funston, nor was he put under ar
rest.

semitic Valley with the First Utah Cav
