PRIVATE CHAs. TROY, OF OAKLAND,
Shoots Corporal Hicks, of the First Mary
land Regiment, in Camp at Augusta.

land Regiment, in Camp at Augusta.
Yesterdays Baltimore papers con
tanned telegram dated at Augusta,
Ga, containing the intelligence that
Corporal George Hicks, of Company
K, First Maryland Regiment, was
probably fatally shot at the camp of
the regiment Tuesday morning. He
is now lying desperately wounded at
the Augusta City Hospital. Charles
Troy, member of the regiment, fired
the bullet The men were at work
taking down the tents of the com
pany, when they disagreed about
some detail of the work, the exact
particulars of which have not been
made clear here on account of the ret
hence of the soldiers. The regiment
was preparing to leave Camp Mac
kenzie. The dispute resulted in a
fight, and during the trouble Troy
grabbed his gun and fired ball into
the abdomen of Hicks. Hicks
dropped to the ground, and some of
his comrades whose attention had
been attracted by the fight ran up
and assisted him to a cot.
Seeing that he was desperately
wounded his comrades later sent him
to the City Hospital, as the camp
Is,sSss i1fSsti had nothing to do with the
case, the regiment haying been
mustered out. Troy was placed un-
der arrest, and he will be held for
trial in the civil courts. The Mary
land soldiers were slow to give the
particulars of the shooting, and they
at first said Hicks was not badly
hurt, but it was necessary to take
him to the hospital.
Private Troy was born at Manning
ton, w. Va, and at the age of eight
years went to live with relatives at
Fifty eight Cut, west of Oakland,
where he resided until about six
years ago when he went to Ohio in
company with Frank 3. Ross and
family, remaining there until Mr.
Ross's return to Oakland about q
year ago. Troy enlisted in the army
from Oakland.
