Cablegram Received From Father Hordeman.

A cablegram was received here a few days ago by relatives of Father William Bordenian of Frankfort, who was touring Europe at the time of the war outbreak there and from whom no word had been received for several weeks. The cablegram was sent from Grosenader, Germany, and dated Sept. •'». It said: “Not traveling on account of war. Booking for first ship to get home. All is well.” Father Bordenian is a son of Peter Horde man, Sr., of west of town, and a brother of the Bordenian boys of Rensselaer and vicinity. Be will probably reach home soon, as there is apparently little troiible now in securing passage from many of the European ports. The cablegram was sent to l an aunt ‘n Slew York City and she in turn notified his parish at Frankfort, Ind., and it appeared in a Frankfort paper received here by Mrs. John . Figer, who informed Father Bordenian’s father and brothers. At this writing no further word has been received since August 5, from Henry Luers of south of Rensselaer, who was visiting ip Germany when war broke out, although his family js looking for him home almost any day now, they believing that he has secured passage before this.
