Arrived Home

Some of the veterans expected in the city got in on Sunday and joined their families, who were hardly expecting them home until today. Those who arrived were William W. Bell, William Keighley, Samuel Scott, Francis George Westacott and Harry Shaw. Secretary MacDonald of the Soldiers’ Aid said this morning that there would be arrivals almost every day for some time now, and it was almost impossible to keep track of the men as they come in.
