An incident occurred this afternoon on the camp ground which brought forth much comment was the arrest of Pri- vate J. Benoit. of Co. G. of the First regiment. Benoit belongs in Putnam and this afternoon he was found some what under the influence of liquor, He was. however, able to go to his tent, where he. was arrested and taken to the headquarters of the regiment where he was court martialed,' and a. fine of $5 was imposed upon him for the offense. Besides this c. Benoit will have to do police duty for the rest of the week in camp.
