COL. wILEY's ORDER.
Col. Wiley's camp order, published at the
o'clock dress parade this evening, brings
the boys under strict military discipline. The
order in the main was very similar to
that of Col. Mercer to the First and Fourth
regiments. The troops on dress parade this
evening were divided into four battalions,
the first under command of Capt Ed Fields,
the second under Maj. r. n. Holtzclaw the
third under Capt J. L. Hardeman, and the
the fourth under Capt. w. G. Davis. Their
execution of the drills under the new tactics
showed that they had had careful training
before entering camps
Capt s. P. Gilbert of the
Columbus Guards was officer
of the day. The first guard mount took
place at O'Clock. Capt. Adams of
Company E will be the officer Of the day
tomorrow, and Lieut.. w. G. Bolton officer
of the guard.
Corpl. Henry Anderson Of the Quitman
Guards, of Forsyth, was promoted to-day
70 sergeant major of the First battalion.
The abutment to the rife range is complete,
and the target practice begun in earnest
to-day. The Floyd Rifles and the Putnam
Rifles were detailed to practice to-day. Two
companies will be selected for practice each
day and on these days they are relieved
from all guard duty.
POKER PLAYERS CALLED DOWN.
Several poker players have come to grief
at Griffin today. Last night quiet game
over the bar of a man named Wilson was
in progress, and there were, according to
the best information TO be gathered,
around the table, Wilson, Y. J.
Allen, and man named Gum.
All went serenely until Gum had lost
something like 600, when q kick was
raised. Ii took but few seconds to turn
out the lights, when an onslaught on
Gum was begun. The cries Of tho man
attracted the attention OF the police who
have made several arrests to-day, but the
main bird wilson is still at large.
6uuu was seen JO~nl&Ob DY Inc
MORNING News correspondent, and
declined to say anything in regard to the
affair. He saidi was a case Of dog tray. He
got into bad company. His connections la
this and adjoining states are Of the first
families and for this reason he declined
to give any information in regard to the
affair. He states that he has been in Griffin
for three weeks but declines to give any
satisfaction as TO what his business u.s.
1t is stated that he is a cigar drummer from
Key West. Fla, whose real name is J. H.
Garner. On hearing of the affair this
morning Mayor James A. Stewart swore
out warrants against all concerned in the
game, and has called meeting of the coun-
Gil for to- morrow morning TO revoke Will
sons license. He is the only one of the
party who has not been arrested, but the
police are on the lookout for him. and it is
very likely that he will be caught before
morning.
