Soldiers Highwaymen.

ATLANTA, Ga. June IA special
from Griffin says that soldiers at Camp
Northern played the role of highway
men last night and stopped hacks as
they drove from the camp, compelling
drivers at the point of the pistol to give
up what money they had. A large sum
was received.
The troops are highly indignant that
any of their number should act in such
a manner, and they cannot believe but
that it must have been someone from
outside who covered this dark deed under
the protection of the blue.
However that may be the officials are
hot on the track of the dcsperadoes, and
if they should turn out to be soldiers OF
the United States army it will 90 hare
