Soldiers Spent Few Hours In New Orleans Wednesday.

The Third Indiana arrived in two sections in New Orleans Wednesday, on their way to Indiana. They were allowed six hours in New Orleans, where they were given the freedom of the city, viewing the historical places. The men were placed on honor. The afternoon was spent in ' automobile drives, visiting the old French section, the race track, the parks, Esplanda avenue, the old Spanish fort at Lake Ponchratrain and Metaire cemetery. The return trip will be to St. Louis over the Illinois Central and thence to Indianapolis on the Big Four, arriving there about noon Friday. All are in good health and enjoying the trip in the standard and Pullman sleepers.
