LaFollette Funeral Train, Garrett, Ind., June 20—Returning to Wisconsin the body of Senator Robert M. LaFollette, her favorite son, the especial train passed early today across the middle western plains which in years gone by “Fighting Bob” had on more than one occasion made his political battling grounds.
Here and there along the way from Washington, crowds gathered to pay the last tribute to a leader whose voice, but so lately a power in the nation, is now forever stilled in death. Many got only a fleeting glimpse of the funeral car as it dashed by villages and way stations.
