MANY SOLDIERS HOME AGAIN

Quite a Number of Old Co. M Boys Have Returned. A score or more of the old Company M boys who were with the two Indiana regiments that recently returned froin overseas and were mustered .out at Fort Benjamin Harrison last..week, reached Rensselaer Friday\ and Saturday, the greater number coming in Saturday morning, and some few Sunday. The boys are all looking fine and it is evide’nt that ainny life has agreed 'with them, judging from their appearance. They are all glad to get home, however, and their relatives, friends and the community in general are glad to have them' back and glad Ito see them looking so well. While the war ended about two weeks too soon for these regiments to take part in the actual fighting, no one doubts for a moment-but what would have given a splendid account of themselves had they got in action, but their ranks would necessarily have been thinned somewhat had they got in the thick of the conflict. Following are the nannes of the boys who have .returned, so far as we are ah|e to learn: James Eldridge, Robert and Vesta Criswell, Warren Fisher, Orville ’ and Ailed Bowsher, Howard Stiles, Clinton Whitton, Leo Blanchett, Glenn Swaim, Hollis Turner, William Jenkins, Clarence B.
