An impressive happening i'm connec-
ton with the bringing home of the re-
mains of the late Representative
Boutelle from Boston. Wednesday
was at Newport where 25 or so Grand
Army members gathered at the sta

train bearing the remains passed
through the depot. Mr.. Boutelle was
loved by all members of the Crane
Army and the incident in Newport
was but one Of many in which the
