Senius Eilertsen 10 the first Rio
Blanco boy TO return from the battle
front. Senius, who Is dry father
on the Mesa and one of the original
Troop M boys, dropped In last part
OF last week for two day visit with
his friends In this town and vicinity.
He was on his way from France to
Camp Ksarney on army business.
The armistice hsd not been signed
when he left France, but the boys
we're looking for 1t, IS the Hun was
then pretty ''groggy."
This only Rio Blanco boys he ran
across in France were Gilbert Grim
stead. Jack Connolly and J. P. Rich
ardson. He bumped into Gilbert and
Jack on the battle field north Of
Chateau-Thierry. They were hust-
lining ammunition up to . machine
gun, and neither he or they had any
time In which to exchange views on
any subject.
Mr.. Eilertsen had been In several
Of the big battles, but, Is he observed
'it was his fool luck to escape with
out scratch" He Is afraid, how
ever. that when the final roll call Is
made some Of the boys will not be as
lucky.
At Camp Kea.ney he was in the
engineers, but shortly after arrival
10 France was transferred to the In
telllgence department.. His conf
manding Office Captain Murray is q
New York newspaper man and a fine
fellow.
Senius received . warm welcome
here. II he does not receive orders
to the contrary, he will return to
France.
