FIELD HOSPITAL BOYS ARE WELCOMED BACK Reach Here in Storm, but Are Delighted to Be Home Again. With blowing of bugles and joyous cheers, members of the Utah field hospital hos-pital No. 29 reached the Oregon Short Line depot at 10:50 o'clock last night. Forty-seven men and oflicers were in the special which had brought them from Nogales, Ariz., where they have been in camp since July 17 last. Two others. Waller Fairweather and Frank Young, were left behind in the base hospital at Xogales. Both are suffering suf-fering from broken legs. Fair weather's leg was broken by a fall from a wagon and Young suffered his injury when he slipped and fell on some rough ground. Aside from these two, every member of the tinit was present at the roll call before be-fore they were dismissed to go to their homes. All are In good health and exuberant ex-uberant spirits. The boys were lined up when they left the train and notified to be present at Fort Douglas Friday for the formal mustering mus-tering out of Uncle Sam's service.
