Two Hundred People Wait Until 1 O'clock to Greet Soldier Lads. At just 1 o'clock this morning Co. F of the third Indiana infantry returned to South Rend after six months spent on the border in the service of Uncle Sam. Two hundred people braved the cold for over live hours to welcome the boys home. What the crowd lacked in size it made up in enthusiasm and as the train bearing the troops rolled in to the station welcoming shouts drowned its noise. Forming double file as soon as they got off the train tho boys were marched to the men's waiting room of the New York Central depot, where G. F. Haslanger on behalf of the citizens of South Rend and the Army and Navy union, welcomed the men in a short speech. Capt. Clinton D. Rogers responded saying that the boys were glad to be back and from the size of the crowd on hand he was sure that had the train arrived earlier tho reception would have been magnificent. Eighty-one men were in the company when it arrived in South Rend Saturday morning. Several of the men had been sent on ahead to make arrangements for the arrival and disbandment of the company. Lieut. Col. George W. Freyermuth returned with the boys. March to Armory. Under command of Capt. Rogers the company marched to its armory on S. Michigan st., where rifles were stacked and the men left for their homes. Co. F was mustered out of service at D o'clock Friday morning, according to Capt. Rogers and were entrained and ready to start for home at ! o'clock. Then it was discovered that the train lacked one coach to accommodate the men and it was three hours before the car was brought from Indianapolis to Fort Renjamin Harrison The train left Indianapolis at 3 o'clock bearing Co. A of Warsaw, Co. E o:' Klkhart, and Co. F of South Rend. At Warsaw. Co. A was dropped and the train pulled into Elkhart at 10:25 o'clock. Two hours were consumed there waiting for the arrival of train No. 4 3, which was to bring the two coaches and a baggage car of equipment to South Rend. About 12:20 o'clock the train left Elkhart and arrived here at 1 o'clock. Lieut. Col. Freyermuth and Capt. Rogers, both said that the boys Mere glad to be home again. Every man, they said, was in excellent spirit and were eager to disband and hurry home. Meet Troops. Victor Jones, business manager of the Chamber of Commerce, went to Elkhart to meet the train and kept in touch with the men in charge of the program which was to have been held at the Chamber of Commerce. Gus Haslanger of the Army and Navy union, went to Elkhart and returned with the troops. Two visitors who came in with the troops but which were unnoticed by most of the crow i at the depot, were "Sam" and "Sal", Texas wild hogs, special pets of William Ilines, cook of the company. The program of speeches which was originally scheduled for the Chamber of Commerce Saturday night will probably be given at the banquet and ball which will be held by the Army and Navy union in honor of the company on Jan. 2. A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce committee to discuss the reception will be held this afternoon at the Chamber when it will be decided upon the course of action to be taken. E. T.

Caiuvl Reception. When informed of the 'ate arrival of the train Mr. Ronds, who was in charge of the program at the Chamber of Commerce, decided not to hold the affair. From 8 o'clock until after 10 o'clock hundreds of persons were waiting, shivering in the cold for the arrival of the train. As fast as some left, discouraged by the long wait, others took their places. Roth waiting rooms at the station, which boasted stoves, were packed with people, while many more waited in rostaurants and cafes across the street. When informed of the late arrival many of the people gave up their plans to wait and the crowd began slowly to thin out. Cold weather prevented the old soldiers, members of the Auten po5t and Norman Eddy post. G. A. R., from attending, while the Elks' boy scouts did not come out. Members of the Army and Navy' union, the Sons of Veterans and the Spanish-American War veterans were the only ones in uniform at the .station.
