less, fearless soldier. He was the best shot
among the men. One day, at the close of
lively campaign, word reached the Ninth
cavalry that the paymaster was on his
way to join them and was waiting 80
miles away for an escort. A noncommis-
stoned officer and three privates were de-
tailed to go to the paymaster and guard
him on his ride to the regiment. Fearn
was one of the four men selected. A SER
geant who had long disliked Fearn was
placed in charge Of the detachment The
other privates were close friends OF the
