Camp Shelby Notes.

From Blodgett’s Indianapolis News Letter. After today Coflrpany C, 151st Infantry, will lose one of the characters of the old Ist Indiana. Elie Olteon, first class private, yesterday completed his three years’ service, and unless he re-enlists will become a member of the reserves. Elie, as he is commonly known among the officers and men of the Indiana national guard, could have been an officer long ago, but he had no ambition do anything except potter arou/d as a first class private. “J am sorry to see Elie go,” re/' marked Lieutanent-Colonel Healey, “for he is one of the best all-round soldiers I ever knew, and I am in hopes that he will come back into the service.” Colonel Healey’s headquarters are the most commodious and best arranged in the camp of the 151st and Elie is the man who built them.
