BELATED TRAINS RETARDED STUDENTS

St- Joseph Boys Who Expected to Take 4:40 Train Did Not Get Out Until 11:09.

Some,seventy-five boys and young men from St. Joseph’s college, who had expected to leave for their homes on the southbound No. 31 train, due here at 4:40 this Wednesday morning, were greatly disappointed when that train did not put in an appearance. The cause of its non-arrival was the wrecking of two or three freight cars near Lowell and the train they had expected to take was detoured via Hammond to Wilders and thenee to Monon over the Michigan City division. The boys did not seriously mind the inconvenience, however, and lounged about the depot and the platform and indulged in pash times of various kinds. Of course, all grew marvelously hungry and Mrs. Lura Pennell, who runs the depot restaurant, almost sold out everything she had in stock. Finally the boys were able to leave on trains Nos.'s and 37, due here at 11:09 and 11:32, respectively, although both of these were belated. The freight wreck near Lowell was not a very bad one, but the ears went off the track in a cut that made their removal from the track quite difficult. -
