PART OF CO. M HAS LONG TRAIN RIDE

Got On Wrong Car At Indianapolis Speedway and Are Carried to Limedale. At 6 o’clock this Tuesday morning about ten members of Company M, who attended the military tournament at Indianapolis, arrived home, while the rest of the company were “enjoying” a trip io Limedale, about 30 miles west of Indianapolis. When the company left the speedway Monday they were told to entrain on a certain car and this they did, but the car rightfully belonged to a Bloomington company. The car arrived in Indianapolis about 7 o’clock last evening and was to wait until 1:45 to come to Rensselaer with the night train. There being about seven hours to wait, most of the boys went up town. At about 12 o’clock about two-thirds of the fellows were back in the car, which began switching about that time. It was thought by them that the car was being put on the Monon tracks but it was hooked onto a Vandalia train and started for Limedale before anyone on the car knew what was happening. Those on the train included Lieut. Watson and Sergeants Morgan and Nowels, while Captain Tuteur with the transportation for the boys was with the other third of the company which came home on he train which arrives here at about 5 o’clock and which all should have come on. Those who went south will arrive home at 3:31 this afternoon. All the guns and rolls and other equipment belonging to the members was on the train that went south.
