RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
GREET RETURNING HERO

Thos. C. Neibaur. Bear Lakes ma
tive son who was one of 36 American
soldiers to be awarded the congress
sional medal for bravery on the bat
tie field in France, arrived in Mont
pelier last Saturday afternoon on
No. IT. enroute to his home at Sugar
City. A large crowd, headed by the
Montpelier band, was at the station
to meet him and he was given a most
royal Yelcome.-----------------'---
Accompanied by his uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Nye. and led
by r. w. Gee who carried a large nag,
he was escorted up town. He was
forced to stop many times to receive
hearty hand shakes from friends who
knew him as a lad.
Sunday was spent in visiting the
scenes OF his boyhood at Sharon. On
Monday afternoon he left for Sugar
City, accompanied by number Of
relatives, including his mother who
had come from Sugar City to meet
him.
Young Neibaur bears his honor In
a modest manner, and is reticent To
talk OF the deed which won for him
fame and honor, and which he will
never foget for the reason that he is
carrying in his right hip a bullet from
German machine gun. which was
received on that memorable occa-
sion. He was wounded three times
two bullets passing thru his right
thigh and the third one. lodging In
his hips
1t was while out on a patrol to en-
filade an enemy machine gun nest
that young Neibaur became separated
from the rest of his squad. Sudden
ly he was confronted by 10 German
soldiers, who opened fire on him.
That he was not killed IL little short
OF a miracle. No sooner did the Ger
mans begin firing than Neibaur got
busy with his automatic rife and the
first four shots made four good
Germans" The remaining eleven
then threw up their hands and per-
mitted young Neibaur to march them
back to the American lines, as pris-
oners.
Although suffering from the
wounds. Neibaur had to march his
prisoners about two miles before
turning them over to the proper offI-
GERS. He then had to walk another
two miles before he could get an ann
bulance to convey him to the emerr
gency hospital. From that time UNI
til about the middle OF March he wab
confined in a hospital in France. Be-
ing then able to travel he was sent
home, arriving in New York on the
26th of March. He was mustered
out OF service at Debarkation hospit4
al No. 81 at Detroit. Mich.
He does not feel any III effects
from his wounds. and limps but
slightly.
Words can but feebly express his
Joy at again being among relatives
and friends. after experiencing the In
describable hardships Of modern war
fare. and escaping. as II by miracle.
from death at the hands of German
soldiers.
