Show AGED VETERANS IN PARADE. Fifteen Thousand Grand Army Men March at Annual Reunion. Indianapolis. Weary from marching but delighted with their enthusiastic reception, the 15,000 civil war veterans veter-ans who paraded Wednesday at the fifty-fourth annual encampment of the G. A. R., rested at night. On benches in parks and around the soldiers' and sailors' monument the veterans talked of their march and of the days when their hikes were longer. . The parade covered a route less than a mile in length, but it taxed the strength of many. A temperature of 85 degrees made marching uncomfortable uncom-fortable and before the parade was finished many were carried to first aid stations to recover from mild heat prostrations. |
