airy troop connected with the first oTi-
gade at Camp Armitage. near this city.

ing held, attended by two detachmelts
of regular cavalry, tonight attached
members of a provost guard of patrols
made UP of members Of Company D.,
Fifth Ohio National Guard, Cleveland,
and one man was killed and three

The regulars, who used pistols, scat
tered for camp, and none of them navc
been apprehended. Fifteen minutes df-
ter the shooting, General Dick, in CON-
mand of the national guardSmen, and
the regular army officers, had declared
the town under martial law, and hum
dreds Of regulars were rushed into the
city and are now ~patrolling the streets
to prevent further trouble
AS gathered from soldiers in camp, it
seems that nearly all the provost
guards. sent to town to gather in SOL
diers who have oven5rayed their leaves,
been national guardSmen, and
the regulars BEGAN possessed OF the
idea that the provosts were discrimi-
mating against the regulars in favor ot
the guardsmen, arresting the former
and allowing The latter to go free, when
the miscreants were in such numbers
that a choice arose of arresting either
one or the other. Regulars assembled
in Athens tonight in force and the pro-
vost from Troop D., met a lumber OF
them in front of the sheriff's residence
near the court house The regulars
were halted and showed fight. Tha
provost guards dubbed their rifles,
and they claim the regulars commenced
to shoot. They returned the fire and
more than hundred shots in all were
fired. The battle ended when the res
ulars ran for camp after the killing.
