COMPANY III RETURNS
Met at Station by Boy Scout Band and
Crowd of Enthusiastic People
Band Played and the People Cheer
As Train Pulls into Station.

The word passed around on Tues
day that Company II was ordered
home from Havre de Grace and that
thev would arrive on the 3.ll train in
the afternoon, caused a large crowd
to gather at the station to welcome
them back. The train pulled in but
disappointed the crowd as the Com
pany failed to arrive at Union Station
in time to catch the train. 1t was
then made known that the Company
would come on the lag train. About
IL minutes before the train arrived
the Boy Scout Band came marching
down the street from the ArmOry play
ing a lively march which brought Il
crowd to the station that was esti-
mated at 1900. who cheered and the
band played as the train pulled in.
The Company lined up on Main street
and marched to the Armory headed
by the Band, where the Company was
dismissed and the relatives and
friends surrounded our boys and gave
them the hearty hand shake, while
some were smothered with kisses, in
their gladness to see them return.
How long the Company will be
home is not known, but we hope for
good. 1t has been rumored that they
will be enlisted in the Federal service.
All of the members did not come
home, as about l3 under the command
of Second Lieutenant Billingslea were
left back to look after the equipment
which was loaded on a barge and be-
came fast on account of the low tide,
leaving the shore on the island side
They returned Wednesday afternoon.

and harmony without detriment to
either. He held successfully all the
different official positions in the
Brotherhood locally and in 1906 was
elected first assistant Grand Engineer
in charge of the National convention of
Engineers held in Memphis. He was a
fluent, public speaker, hence his ser
