Disturbance
Summary
Last Friday morning stragglers from several artillery units, who were in Frederick for the recent illumination, caused a disturbance. Under the influence of liquor, they remained in town after the departure of their batteries, racing their horses through the streets. Maj. Baugher, the provost marshal, arrested the offenders and placed them in the guardhouse. In doing so, one soldier was shot and another bayoneted. A citizen, Henry Lawrence, received a minor wound to the hand, the ball from which then proceeded to strike the arm of the young son of Geo. P. Ramsburg, which required an amputation of the limb.
