Yesterday the following Lincoln county members of Co. C arrived, some on the noon train, the others on the evening passenger.
Lt. George D. Abel, 1st Sgt. James E. King, Sgt. Arthur Griffin, Corp. V.C. Harris, Corp. Arthur Bell, Alvin Wilson, Newton Peacock, Archie Hazen, Richard Herman, Alvy McKay, Elmer Case, Albert Geering, William Cannon, Benton Tilton, Herman Murphy, James Trefethen, Oliver Trefethen, William Whitely, O.S. Britegam, Elmer Reed, Frank Clifton, C.E. Hoffman, H.A. Andresen, Carl Shaver.
The two Trefethens and Whitely, who live in the northwest corner of the county, went on up the road and did not disembark here. Shaver left the train at Beverly.
P.W. Errebo, Wagoner Fred McElheney and Corp. Ray Shaver went from Leavenworth to Omaha to take in the exposition, and are expected home Saturday.
Corp. Neil Morehead decided to spend at least a part of his 30-day furlough at home and went on to Larned over the Sante Fe.
Otto Price was detailed at Leavenworth to look after the company's baggage, and Ed. Behrhorst was detailed as bugler. Both were greatly disapointed at not being able to return home.
H.W. Drogmeyer secured a discharge before his arrival home some time ago.
The boys are home on a 30-day furlough only, at the end of which time they must report at Leavenworth. Whether they will be discharged or continued in service at the end of that time depends upon the result of the peace commission's labors.
Nearly all the boys look brown and hearty, and most are in much better flesh than when they left, and all but perhaps two are in excellent heatlh. O.S. Britegam is suffering from a severe cold and the effects of malaria and is evidently in poor health. Herman Murphy has been under the weather since the company broke camp in Pennsylvania and started for Leavenworth.
Lt. Abel is fat as a match. He seems to have lost what little fat he ever had, but is in good health.
Not one of the boys shows the slightest signs of dissipation, and their appearance and deportment has commanded eulogies from everyone who has seen them. Each avers of all the rest that "There wasn't an ornery one in the Lincoln contigent."
They came in in heavy marching order, carrying 65 pounds of baggage and accoutrments each.
