Montpelier voted Tuesday even
ing March Goth to build a city
hall on Haymarket So, on Main
ST., owned by the city, at cost
not to exceed $125,00O for addi.
tlonal ground, the building, fur.
n1shings, and vaults and to bond
for the same. The matter has
been under discussion for ten
years. The work of erecting the
building is left with a building

be chairman eX-Officio, and this

A man named Stanley from
GuilfOrd hitched his horse to a
post in Greenfield, Mass, recent
~, says a news item, leaving his
bulldog under the wagon to guard
the team. The dog was cross,
and resented any effort made by
sympathizing bystanders or on
lockers to replace the blanket
which had blown off the horse.
Several essayed the task of recov-
ering the horse with the blanket,
but were repulsed by the dog,
which remained faithful to the
trust committed to him. Henry
Bowers, the truckman, by taking
a harness strap, made some head
way in resisting the onslaught of
the fierce animal, but E. p. Wal
len was bitten in the hand as he
was trying to enact the part of
the Good Samaritan to the horse.
The will of the dog prevailed.
State Senator John S. Holden
sustained a shock of paralysis at
Pasadena, Cal, last week and
death soon followed. He was
passing a portion of the winter
in California. He was the head
of the Holden, Leonard Co., the
largest industry in Bennington.
1t was established in 1889 and
the company consists of himself,
his son, Arthur J. Holden, and
Charles W. Leonard of Newton
vile, Mass. The company also
operates another wooden mill at
New Bedford, Mass, and the
output of the two concerns is an
nually valued at more than a
dollass., He was also
president of the Bennington
County National bank, the Wood
bury Granite company and the
Hardwick & Woodbury. railroad.
Director L. H. Green of the
Inter-City Athletic association be-
ieves that there is a far better
solution for the base ball situa-
ton than joining the New Hamp-
shire league. He is in favor of a
eague that would include Mont
Delier- Barre, Burlington, Rut-
and, st. Adams, BrattlebOro and
Bellows Falls, under the Nation
II agreement and with an iron
lad low salary agreement. With
such a league the matter of divi-
sion of gate receipts, etc, could
,e adjusted satisfactorily to the
members. Mr.. Greene believes
hat each town should support
is own team and have all there
S in the receipts. He is opposed
o joining the New Hampshire
eague on the grounds that it is
defunct organization revived
lnder slightly different cOndi-
ions. Most of the teams in this
lew league at one time were mem
,ers of the New England and
allied. They have always paid
salaries and have had an /
quality of base ball.
