co. RETURNS
 AT DAWN UNANNOuNcED
Guardsmen Back From Bridgeport Expect Orders Soon, Where, No One Knows.

Their homecoming unheraIded the thirteenth company, Coast Artillery corps. Captain F. E. Withey, return ed here Wednesday morning at 2.20 on special train from Bridgeport The
 command had been absent abont one month.
 The return of the company was a
 big surprise to Danielson people as a whole, although there had been un- verified rumors during Tuesday night that the company was expected back.
 The men were looking fine and fit and the weeks of guard duty they have been doing seems to have hard ened them and given them an even more soldieriy bearing than when they went away.
 After detraining. the men went di- rectly to the state armory. In due time the company was dismissed for the night and many as possible of them went to their homes. This was impossible for the out of town mem bers of the company.
 During the forenoon the men as- sembled for roll call and in the after noon were dismissed and allowed to go to their homes.
 There is hardly a man in the com pany who does not feel that the stay here will be brief. Orders are ex pected in day or two that will again take the company away. but where no one here knows. The guesses on the proposition range all the way from some of the forts in the New London district to Panama. and one guess is as good another.
 It seems probable. however, that the company will go out the next time for assignment at some coast artillery post. This theory is based on the ex- tended preparations that are being made to protect S5stal points of inn portanee.
 During the month the companv has been away its members have been in the service of the state. When the command goes out the next time 1t Is expected promptly to be mustered into the federal service. as is being done with other state troops called out within the last few days
