Col. Hare

This gallant officer, the commander of the 11th regiment, arrived at his home in Muscatine on Friday evening. He was wounded in the right hand and arm at the late battle. The ball struck the middle finger while grasping his sword, tore it partly off, passed up and around his arm, and was taken out about six inches above the hand. The wound is severe, and may disable the hand. The Muscatine Journal says he “is accompanied by his servant, a lively contraband, who appears to regard his new master as one of the shining lights.”
