Henry got into an altercation with a retreating soldier. As Henry grabbed the man to ask why they were retreated, the man kept going dragging Henry with him. Henry wouldn't let go, and the man swung the rifle he held in his arms. Thus, Henry had his wound.

Well, then!" bawled the man in a lurid rage. He adroitly and fiercely swung his rifle. It crushed upon the youth's head. The man ran on.
