REGULARS AND MILITIA CLASH.
One Man Killed and Three Wounded
at Camp Armitage, o.

Athens, o., Aug. 20.--Reguar army
soldiers, said to be members of a cav
airy troop connected with the First
brigade at Camp Armitage, near this
city. Friday night attacked members
of a provost guard of patrols made up
of members of Company ID, Fifth Ohio
national guard, and one man was kill
ed and three wounded, the latter all
being national guardsmen. The regu.
lars escaped without any casualties
as far as is known.
The guardsman who was killed was
Corp. Charles Clark. whose home is
at Warren. where the company is To-
Gated He was 81 years old and ma
chinist by occupation.
The wounded are: Watson Fl. Oil,
struck on head by rife; Albert
Heald private, shot in left leg; Sergt.
William Blessing, struck on left hip.
The regulars, who used pistols, scat.
tered for camp and none of them have
been apprehended. Fifteen minutes
after the shooting Gen. Dick, in com.
mand of the national guardsmen, and
the regular army officers, had rushed
hundreds of soldiers into the city, and
it is now under martial law Troops
are now patrolling the streets.
AS gathered from soldiers In camp,
II seems that nearly all the provost
guards, sent to town to gather in sol
diers who have overstayed their
leaves. have been guardsmen, and the
regulars became possessed of the idea
that the provosts were discriminating
against the regulars in favor of the
guardsmen. arresting the former and
allowing the latter to go scot free,
when the choice arose of arresting Ell
ther one of the miscreants were in
such numbers that a choice arose of
arresting either one or the other.
Regulars assembled in Athens Friday
night in force. and the provost from
Troop ID met a number Of them in
front of the sheriff's residence, near
the court house. The regulars were
halted, and showed fight. The provost
guards dubbed them with their rifles.
then. they claim, the regulars com.
menced to shoot. They returned the
fire and more than a hundred shots
in all were fired. The battle ended
when the regulars scampered for camp
after the killing.
No further trouble is anticipated,
as only regulars are now patroling
the streets of Athens. and double and
triple lines of guards have been
thrown around the camps to prevent
any of the men from either side from
getting any place where the fight can
be renewed.
Athens, o., Aug. 20.-Gov. Herrick
said Friday night: while I deeply
deplore the unfortunate occurrence at
Athens this evening realize that nei.
ther the regulars nor the o. N. G..
should be held responsible for the ac.
tions of some irresponsible persons
who respect no law, and who do not
represent American manhood, and for
whose actions neither the regulars nor
the O. n. G. should be criticised"
