LAFAYETTE BOWS AS C BATTER HEROES RETURN

All Lafayette was smiles early Sunday morning when Monon train No. 4, three hours late, pulled into that city bearing part of Battery C, her famous fighting unit. Thousands thronged the streets to greet the heroes and traffic was impossible. On arriving in Indianapolis several of the soldiers, unable to longer endure the suspense of reaching their homes, chartered taxicabs and made the remainder of the trip to Lafayette in that manner. Among those using this method of reaching home was George Wolfe, son of Oppie Wolfe, and who formerly lived in Rensselaer. George now lives at Chalmers and lost no time in reaching that place and his parents. George saw eighteen months of fighting on various sectors and from start to finish his war experiences were thrilling one. iMr. Wolfe came to Rensselaer today for a short visit with friends.
