In It occurred some as severe lighting , under adverse circuin- stances , as everdiin1o to the lot of the United States army. Among the troops engaged In that war was the Ninth United States In- fantry. It. is well known that this regiment % % .as never permitted to take any part. In the civil war , but was kept during that whole eventful verlod on hie l'nciflo slope. It wna not the fault of thmcors of the regiment , yet they feltveryjscnsitivo on the sub- ject. "Among the ofl1cera of that regiment was a young Ileulc &fl ( whose name I shall mention later. Ott th evening preceding the heaviest fight that occurred during the campaign reniarls were made reflecting upon the couragoof what they designated as the 'California. contingent , " meaning thereby the NihthInfantry. These remarks came to the ears of the young lieutenant , who immediately sought thelr author , and in the Ireaencc of a large number of his fellow omcers , resented the aspersions in the most vIgorous terins branding the man as a modern Ananias , and also announcing that ifllflicdiatCly after the fight which was slated for the following day ho would personnlty make good all that he then said. "Furthermore. as the matter of personal courngo has been Put In question , he announced - nounced that in the fight of the following morning he shoutd wear his full uniform aiitl he challenged the author of the dls- paraging remark to do the same. That night the commanding general sent for this lieutenant and Informed him that in the charge that was to made on the following morning he was goingto give him the next position to the post of honor , that is , the left of the line. Any soldier will know that when tr6 ps are in line of battle the heft is etiunlly exposed with the rIght. it IlallCflel , tb rsfore , that on the morning of the battle the Calforuia lieutenant , true to his word , appeared In command of the left of this line in full uniform , and as It well known that such an exposure waste to court almost cerlafa death , not another oflicer did so appear , notwithstanding the lieutenant's emphatic challenge.
