Sergeant James Fegan was in charge of a powder train traveling from Fort Harker to Fort Dodge in Kansas. His train also carried a prisoner who was guilty of desertion. Near Plum Creek Sergeant Fegan's train was ambushed by a gang of desperadoes in an attempt to free the prisoner and set fire to the train. Single-handedly, Sergeant Fegan repelled the attacking party, wounding two of them. He then brought his train, including both cargo and his prisoner, safely to Fort Dodge.
