Quartermaster Sergeant Coen Reecives Discharge From Service.

Mrs. Emerson Coen received word today from her husband, Emerson Coen, that he had received his discharge from the Indiana guard and that he would be home soon. Emerson has had his application in for some time for discharge, but there had been some delay in securing it. Other members of Mo. M are also said to be waiting for their discharges on the dependent cause, but it is not known as yet whether or not they have received them or not, but it is probable that they have as their applications were made the same time as Sergeant Coen. Mr. Coen served in the navy for several years and is one of the best trained and competent soldiers in Co. M, and is a loyal soldier but feels that he should be home to take care of his duties at Conrad, Ind., where he is managing a farm for Mrs. Jennie Conrad. Mr. Coen had just got his work well started oil the farm when the call to Mexico came and he was forced to leave it in other hands.
