people of that town who had been
afflicted with the influenza had' Hil

expect to be out .a a few days,
and that no itew cases are belli ij

heavy niacli iu- sun nre, wincn
threatened lo hold up the ad
vance. Followed by two soldiers
at twenty-five yards, this officer
went out ahead of his first line
toward a machine gun nest and
worked ills way around its flan!;,
leaving the two soldiers in front.
When he gut within teu yards
of the gun it ceased firing and
four of the enemy appeared,
three of whom were shot by
Lieut. Woodfill. The fourth, an
officer, rushed at Lieut. Wood
fill, who attempted to club the
officer with his rifle. After a
hand-to-hand struggle, Lieut.
Woodfill killed the officer with
his pistol. His company there
upon continued to advance until
shortly afterward another ma
chine gun nest was encountered.
Calling his men to follow, Lieut.
Woodlill rushed ahead ol' his
line in the face of heavy tire
from the nest, and when several
of the enemy appeared above the
nest lie shot them, capturing
three other members of the
crew and silencing' the gun. A
few minutes Inter this 'officer, for
the third time, demonstrated
conspicuous daring by charging
another machine gun position,
killing Ave men in one machine
gun pit with his rifle. He then
drew his revolver and started
to jump Into the pit when two
other gunners only a few yards
away turned their gun on him.
Failing to kill them with his
revolver, he grabbed a pick ly
ing near by and killed both of
them. Inspired by the excep
tional courage displayed by
this officer, his men pressed on
to their objective under severe
shell and machine gun fire.
Lieut. Woodfill is married and
lives at 167 Alexandria Pike,
Fort Thomas, Ky.
